A Paid Advertisement.  Mike Baron's horror graphic novel The Architect, illustrated by Andie Tong, will get a re-listing in Diamond's October Previews catalog, according to publisher Big Head Press.  'We're getting a second chance!' exclaimed the delighted Scott Bieser, director for the small-press publisher.

 

'Diamond is re-listing the book because they agree that retailers and fans should have a chance to order it after they've seen some of the tremendous art for this book, which will appear in a Previews ad and in an ad campaign both during October and in the December sales period,' Big Head director Scott Bieser said.

 

This time around, Big Head Press will have a half-page ad in the Previews catalog, and is placing ads on consumer-oriented websites both during the October ordering period and the December sales period.  'We've already had advance review copies of The Architect out for a while, and several favorable reviews have come back in,' Bieser said.

 

He added that British comics retailers should pay special attention to the listing, because illustrator Andie Tong is gaining an enthusiastic fan following in that country as the penciler for Marvel UK's version of The Amazing Spider-Man.

 

The Architect is a horror story loosely based on the life of Frank Lloyd Wright.  The book contains 70 pages of full-color story art, plus a seven-page bonus prose story, 'Dream House Turns to Nightmare' perfect-bound in a wraparound painted cover.  It retails for $9.95.
