Deja Vu All Over Again

Posted by Steven T. Seagle on July 17, 2006

Weird.

I’m sitting here in LA getting ready to pack up and head down to the Comic-Con International.

Why weird?

KAFKA, the first comic I ever did is coming out in a sleek new remastered edition day after tomorrow. That’s the book that was out when I went to my first Comicon-Con San Diego. And that was like 20 yeras ago.

Yeah, weird.

The volume looks sweet (at least in PDFS!). I couldn’t help but go back and fix a few things. Yeah I pulled a little George Lucas here and there – I know, but don’t worry. I didn’t add a big scene no one wants to see or anything. I just fixed some grammar, tweaked the word choice now and then. I couldn’t help myself.

But it’s weird…

To come to grips with your creative self from that long ago and see how you were thinking then. I definitely re-learned some things my previous self did better than my current self. And I also taught my younger me a trick or two learned over the years.

The result is the same book, only a little better. Hell a LOT better if we’re talking about the work that Starkings & JG & Stefano & I did redesigning it all.

So here’s a sneak look at the new cover all finished and pretty. Come by the MOA booth #2007 and pick up a copy and I’ll be happy to sign it for you. What’s it about? Well, it’s about an ex-spy who has six days to reclaim his past or lose it.

And that’s pretty weird.
