ONI PRESS ROUNDUP

Oni Press has announced a special hardcover edition of its upcoming The Complete Soulwind graphic novel that will ship on Nov. 19. Written and drawn by Scott Morse, the series debuted more than six years ago, and was eventually released as five volumes. This collection will be the first time the entire story has appeared in under one cover.

The hardcover edition will be limited to 100 copies. It will be sold to comic shops exclusively by Coldcut Distribution. Consumers can also buy it from Oni Press through its website or at conventions. While the interior material will be the same as in the trade paperback, it will feature a new painted cover by Morse.

"A giant Soulwind compendium has probably been the most requested book amongst Oni fans," Oni publisher Joe Nozemack said, "with a small contingent lobbying for it to be a hardcover book. Scott showed us the hardcover version of his Barefoot Serpent graphic novel, and it became obvious that this was a book we wanted on our shelf, too. Since the normal solicitation time had already gone, we decided to do this really special, and to work with Coldcut, who have been a great friend to independent comics over the years."

The book will be 520 pages and will cost $60.

In other Oni News:

Oni's Jamie S. Rich, who wrote a letter to the Tales of Ordinary Madness comic book in 1992, is editing Oni's collection of the four-issue mini-series written by Malcolm Bourne and drawn by Mike Allred.

"This is a thrill for me," Rich said. "I had corresponded with Malcolm Bourne back then. He was one of the top echelon of letterhacks in comics, and this was his big break into writing the stuff that preceded the letters pages. That alone had me excited. Little did I know what I was in for. Malcolm's story was a deep, dark look inside the workings of the human mind, and his collaborator was a perfect choice to render the dense layers of insanity. I would soon discover that said collaborator was starting to show a bit of madness on his own in a little comic called Madman.

"So, for me, this really brings me back to a place where I was simply a fan, a true enjoyment of comics. Usually, you hear an editor talk up a book, and it's marketing. Of course he likes it, he's the editor! But here is Tales of Ordinary Madness, a book I was a big fan of, and one that inspired me to want to do comics‹and here I get to bring it to a new audience.˛

The book will be 112 black-and-white pages and will arrive in stores on Feb. 18. The color cover is designed by Keith Wood, and the introduction is written by Terry Moore.
