It’s taking forever but it looks like my old chum from back in the London days Mark Stafford might finally be on the cusp of getting the recognition he deserves. Two major looking books have been announced on his blog.

The Man Who Laughs is a 160 page adaptation of the Victor Hugo story with writer David Hine due out in 2013.

Cherubs came out in a small volume a few years ago. That is being collected with another 100 pages of unpublished material in a nice hardback this autumn. This one is written by Bryan Talbot.

Anticipation, I has it greatly.
