Review of The Dreaming at Comic Book Bin ›
Friday, 23 June 2006However, drawings alone won’t make one a good cartoonist or, in this case, manga-ka.

Monday, 22 May 2006The Dreaming Book 1: Is in its third print run! Scholastic has ordered 45,000 for its book club, yay!! The second print run is for 7,000 books, which unfortunately will NOT contain the paper dolls the first print run had, and which Scholastic’s run will also have. Kudos to Scholastic’s book club.
