Blurbin'
I'm not delusional, folks. I know this blog is not exactly the nexus of the comic book industry with people waiting with baited breath for my next post. Sometimes I daydream, though. I daydream that perhaps some publisher, and it can be any publisher, would use a quote taken from my blog and put it on the cover of a comic book in hope that the power of my words will move units. These quotes, or blurbs as the term may be, are not always easy to pick out from the tangled mess that my posts tend to be. So to make it easy for any and all collections editors out there looking for copy to fill the back cover of whatever book you're putting out soon I give you these ready-made blurbs:
“An exciting and fun look into the lives of four young heroes and the forces that threaten them. Don’t miss.”
“This is first book in a long time that reminded me why I like comics in the first place.”
“When I showed this book to my Grandma and she burst into tears I knew it was something good.”
“Never before had Batman’s passion, sense of justice and skill at bovine husbandry been so brilliantly illustrated.”
“If you just happen to have $1,700 lying around might I suggest you buy this book one hundred times.”
“This is Sub-Mariner book that will put the Pacific Ocean on the map!”
“Who invented gunpowder? The woman who wants to make guns look pretty…and she couldn’t have done it without this book!”
“This comic may not be the cure for cancer, but it will cause cancer!”
“After this comic hits people will no doubt be saying the name ‘Adolph Hitler’ a lot.”
“Imagine a movie written by Paddy Chayefsky, directed by Orson Welles and starring Peter North. Now, ask yourself why a comic is being compared to a more successful and accessible industry.”
“Larva’s not in the brain! Monkey McMerry is in the brain!”
“A brilliant parody of the right-wing values that seem to have a grip on those who aren’t thinking hard enough. Chuck Dixon has done it again!”
