At long last, the Image Comics solicitations for January 2009 are out, and I can finally tell you what book all of those stories I've been teasing at will be featured in.

I am lucky enough to part of two stories for this. The first is with our pal Natalie Nourigat, adapting the song "Julie Christie!"
The second is the one drawn by Kelley Seda, and it is for an unreleased song that I was asked to adapt called "The First Time You Saw Snow." It's going to be on the new album next year.
By the way, Marc Ellerby is going to be in this book, too, and has a preview up on Flickr.
UPDATE: Mike Holmes has added his sneak preview of his story here.

I've also done a story for this! I adapted "This is a Souvenir", same as the title.
me too! Rich Johnston wrote an 8-pager based on "Trip Into Space" & twisted my arm to draw it: Trip Into Space
Terry, I saw the page Rich showed on Monday, which looked good, but this splash page you shared is wonderful!
Thank you! All I've heard about the book is via Rich so far; until a comp copy arrives, it looks like we're only going to find out who else is in it by blog power....
