A new interview with me about The Silence Of Our Friends just went up at Comic Book Resources.
THE SILENCE OF OUR FRIENDS is a NY Times Best-Seller!
Just got word that The Silence Of Our Friends debuted at #6 on the New York Times Graphic Best Sellers list!
(I gotta blow our collective horn a bit, and add that it's actually the #1 selling new graphic novel on the list-- the rest of the top 5 are classic-GNs-in-print and collected trades. zing!)
