my mom’s argument against piracy is “well what if you wrote a book and one person bought it and then hundreds of people got to read it for free and you didn’t make any money!”

Here are some notes and images from Lois Lane, Girl Reporter, a pitch for a series of illustrated young adult novels I worked on a few years ago for DC Comics. Story by me, with considerable brainstorming help from my pal John Campbell, and art by Project: Rooftop fan favorite Daniel Krall.
My wonderful editor, Chris Cerasi, was a real champion of the series, which we codenamed “Project 77,” and while we had a great time working on it and finding this secret window into the DCU, it doesn’t look like the current leadership of DC is remotely interested in this kinda thing. I thought some Lois Lane fans here on the interwebs might at least like a look at what might have been…
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN:
I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL UP IN THAT

Baroque Bookshelves. Avant-garde baroque style, black metallic bookshelves with an ornate frame shape. Each book shelf is open at the side and this unique shelving idea looks great when mounted individually but really terrific in a set of multiple shelves. (hat tip Jennie Rothschild)

Omg how did I only find out about these books now… I should not have found out about these books at all; I want ALL of them, regardless of my economic wealth (which is none).
