quote


I have had stuff pulled for many sites before, from outright quotes to links to even reviews reposted in full, all from reviews and interviews I've done. Earlier this year, the trade collection of Ape Entertainment's Super Human Resources had my quote on the back, which was super cool for me. The book's author, Ken Marcus, even sent me an autographed comp copy.

Yesterday, I received in the mail three copies of Accent UK's Whatever Happened To The World's Fastest Man? one-shot. I knew the writer/co-publisher, Dave West, had loved my review before, but I was unaware that he had snuck a line from said review onto the back cover of the actual comic. (I had reviewed a pdf version- not my preference of course, but shipping costs something, I know....) Absolutely made my damn day. I hear tell of at least three other books which might be quoting me soon as well, but this is a kick in the pants for me all in all. It's one thing if a line of mine ends up on press releases, or a review is linked and/or quoted on a publisher's website, but hard copy quotes are fantastic, and extremely flattering.
Especially when on books I honestly dug.
