One of my favorite series ever- a real gem!
Out under the original (soon to be resurrected) Vertigo banner. Shepherded by legendary @karenpberger.bsky.social & fantastic art by, frequent @realgdt.bsky.social collaborator, @guydavisart.bsky.social. Everyone who's read this title will agree it's truly "one of the '90s best series."
The bad dreams stop when he puts on the mask and goes out at night...
Experience the dark and ugly underbelly of New York City during the late 1930s through the eyes of Wesley Dodds, The Sandman, and his eventual partner and lover, the modern woman Dian Belmont.
IMO, one of the '90s best series.

I have been waiting 15 years for a "quiet little masterpiece" from Paul Constant. THE STONESHORE REGISTER is out now from @karenpberger.bsky.social's Berger Books, with art by brother from another mother MK Perker.
One of my favorite things about writing a newsletter is that it's also my reading journal. For instance, last month I was happily surprised by @gwillow.me and MK Perker's graphic novel The Stoneshore Register. You'll get similar brief thoughts on my reading life in every issue.

Thanks so much Joe, and everyone else! 😊
Somehow the legendary Karen Berger (@karenpberger.bsky.social) has fewer than 1000 followers here. This must be corrected. You know what to do, comics folks.

Wonderful review, thanks!
"Emotionally earnest and filled with a quiet sense of mystery, The Stoneshore Register examines the mythology of a small town..."

Read @colinreedmoon.bsky.social's review:
‘The Stoneshore Register’ deals with the mythologizing of small towns
A remarkable look at the slow erasure not only of small towns but of peoples and their ways of life.

Wow- beautiful!
My publisher released four of my novels with new gorgeous covers by the great Yuko Shimizu.
They’re calling it the LaValle Quartet though each book stands alone.
Just look at these things!
They’re in bookstores now.
