There are of course many, many details to come, but the first thing I wanted to mention is how you--yes, you--can be involved!
Accompanying some of the essays in the book are vintage photos of the authors engaged in their first love: comics (as you can see above). I really get a kick out of seeing photos like this (I posed for a few of them myself since comics were so important to me and I wanted everyone to know it, in perpetuity!) so I think they'll add a lot to the book.
But the photos aren't limited to the contributing authors; no, I'd like to include a lot more of them, and that is where you all in come in! If you have a family photo like one of the ones you see above and would like to submit it for possible inclusion in Hey Kids, Comics!, here's what you have to do:
--Send a 300 dpi (or better) scan of the photo to heykidscomicsbook@comcast.net
--The photo must be of you, so you have the legal rights to offer it for publication
--Any file format is fine, but JPG or TIFF preferred
--Please identify who is in the picture, and if possible when or where it was taken
If you have any questions, please email me or "Like" the Hey Kids, Comics! Facebook page and inquire there! Thanks!
