Guilty Pleasures Graphic Novel News
————————————–
Dear Anita Blake Fan,
We at Dabel Brothers Productions are thrilled that you’ve been a supporter of our official comic book adaptation of Laurell K. Hamilton’s ANITA BLAKE:VAMPIRE HUNTER. Whether you know it or not, you’ve helped make history; we just found out this week that the hardcover edition of ANITA BLAKE: VAMPIRE HUNTER in GUILTY PLEASURES vol. 1 is already sold out in under a month, and has earned the title of bestselling graphic novel of 2007!
That’s why I want to extend my sincere apologies about the lateness of our exclusive black and white edition, which we intended to have ready for you by the end of July, but which had several last minute delays that caused it to slip into an August release. We hope that you still will want to order this limited edition book, since it features the pencil artwork of Brett Booth and a cover you won’t find anywhere else. We’re only printing a fraction of our normal run of these so they’ll be worth investing in — last year’s “pencils only” limited edition has sold for $75+ on Ebay!
To make up for our lateness, we’re going to give everyone who orders the book a free gift — our little way of saying “thanks for all the support!”
The black and white edition is available for sale at http://www.dbprostore.com now, so go ahead and head on over and order your copy today. You’ll be glad you did!
Thanks again. We can’t wait to hear what you think of what we consider the best ANITA BLAKE yet!
Sincerely,
Les Dabel
