Hello guys! I wanted to start a thread, no - not for me to have a place to post all my LB Cole covers (although I may hijack it for that later) - but to let you know that the book by Fantagraphics, Black Light: The World of L.B. Cole, is not only available for pre-order but will be shipping soon. I received an email from an editor there, Mike Catron, who provided me with a link to a 19-page preview and a short video that provides a look into an acutal copy of the book. I have to say, I'm very impressed so far. As some of you may know I have a few LB Cole covers and I was one of a handful of collectors who were able to provide cover scans for the images that appear in the book. I'm pretty sure I saw a few I passed along in the video alone. Here is a link to the previously mentioned preview. www.fantagraphics.com/browse-shop/black-light-the-world-of-l-b-cole-pre-order-.html?vmcchk=1 I hope you like what you see and let me know what you think! Don't forget to tell your friends! Feel free to put it on your x-mas list too! www.amazon.com/Black-Light-World-L-Cole/dp/1606997629/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1416407824&sr=1-1&keywords=lb+coleThanks!

Fantagraphics has been pushing it on their facebook page.
I was at a show once where LB Cole was a guest, but wasn't familiar with his work at the time. Big regret that I didn't make a point to meet him.

People.... it's here and it's BEAUTIFUL!!! I just grabbed the closest comic I had nearby so that you could see the size of it for a comparison. The stock is thick and glossy which makes the colors jump off the page. Here's the "thank you" section (I'm Jamie, BTW):

Wow, the book looks absolutely beautiful. I'll be picking this up for sure.
From what I've seen of your Cole collection from the purchases thread (dating back to the CBR days), it must feel good to see some of your very own comics in the book. Well done, pmpknface!
Also, is that Rob Allen I spy in the credits also?

I picked up my copy today. Actually just finished soaking all the gorgeousness in. FB did Ol' King Cole proud. They always produce some of the best books around. I particularly love the heavy paper stock and its oversize. And you should be proud of your contribution too pmpknface. Same goes to Rob Allen.
