Is no one else reading this?

I never read the short story in print form so I am enjoying this comic book version in installments very much. I have no idea where the story is going, which makes it fun to read.

It's taking too looooong! :sad:

But I also can't wait to see where it's going. :biggrin2:

Thank you for reminding me. I've never read the story either.

I'm not sure why, but I find comic books difficult to read. I end up needing to re-read most of it. However, I have now gotten far enough into this comic that I want to read the rest of it.

I too find comics somewhat difficult to read. The balloons are all over the place and sometimes I read one first when it should have been read second, etc. But I find once I'm a few pages in I get the hang of it. Yes, it is quite different from reading a regular book.

I was but then I decided I want to wait until there's a whole chunk out so I can read it at once.

...I recently read the print version, and have caught up with the cyber comic-they parallel well, and the artwork is primo...

[Dennis Calero]

Thank you all, this is Dennis!

I'm so glad people are enjoying it. It's always surprising to me but it really shouldn't, that people unfamiliar with comics would have trouble reading them at first. But of course it makes total sense.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Only 6 more weeks to go, I'll try to keep it interesting!

[mstay]

Thanks Dennis! I haven't read the story before so I am really enjoying it. And I definitely like the comic format!

Marked my post it note for the start date and have been cking in each M/W/F. The art work is jaw dropping. Have not read many graphics, but this is a pure joy. Impatience overtook me, and I had to read the entire story. Downloaded the ebook and I must say, IMHO the graphic comic is so true to the story. It is capturing the important true essence. Excellent!!

Where did you find the print version? I am reading the comic version, and it's ok, but I would love to find the print version, even as an e book.

[Dennis Calero]

I really tried to do a faithful job in adapting the story. The biggest challenge, because the story was sort of this one continuous experience, was to find places where the story can break and leave each page with a little mini-cliffhanger...not terribly difficult because i think, in good stories from solid writers, those sort of hooks are peppered all the way through. I've always thought the number one job of a story is to simply make you want to keep reading by making you want to know WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. But to find it in 24 evenly spaced parts...lol...THAT was a challenge.

stephen king talks about the importance of "narrative propulsion": I guess narrative brake-pads are important too sometimes!

(and don't forget to check those treads and watch for under-inflation...!)

...I hope that somewhere along the line Dennis, it gets released to comic's distributors....

Where did you find the print version? I am reading the comic version, and it's ok, but I would love to find the print version, even as an e book.

...in a collection called "A Book Of Horrors", edited by Stephen Jones and released by St. Martin's....

[king family fan]

Ihave read the print version and am following the e comic. Awesome job Dennis. Thank-you.

[Dana Jean]

I am absolutely reading this. We're building the story and it's keeping coming back. I want to know where this is going. And comic book artists are so amazing. How they do what they do. Oh how I wish I could draw! Such a talent to have.

[Antony butterworth]

please tell me they are going to put this in print when its all done as it looks very good and i have enjoyed reading it so far

It's an option as a print edition but for now, it will be an on-line exclusive.

Having never read the short story, this was my first exposure to TLGGA. That said, I found it kind of lacking. I thought it was drawn well, but the story was kind of boring. Am I alone in thinking this?

Read the story if you can. I personally feel Dennis Calero did an excellent job with it.

This is my first exposure to reading some thing exclusivley as an on line comic. The art work is superb, but like a few others, I am finding the story a little weak. I mean, it's a good premise, but maybe the story doesn't work as well for me as it'snot a medium I am used to. I'd have to read it in print to be really sure.
