As many of you know, this has been a long time coming, and I'm really looking forward to working with the fine folks at Crazy 8 (one of whom is writer/editor Robert Greenberger, who has a story in the book) on making Hey Kids! a reality.
There are some details still to come, like cost and just how and where you can order a copy (Hey Kids! will be available as both a print and e-book). Keep an eye on this space, and that info will be coming soon, as well as details about Hey Kids!-related convention appearances!
I'm also thrilled to finally be able to release the full list of contributors and their stories:
