There's supposed to be an actual preview of the art of #1 in the new Previews. I have't been able to find it online and was in a hurry yesterday when I stopped at my comic shop, so I haven't seen it yet, but you should go check it out. Until then, here's a link to the cover. It features Hellboy covered with barnacles and starfish; I guess he

You mean Yellow Springs, Ohio? No, I never lived there. I used to live in Dayton, and would come to Yellow Springs as often as I could for the comics shop, and for walking in the woods. But now I live in Charleston, South Caroline. So, no. :)

My favorite Anne Rice book would have to be The Witching Hour. The history of the Mayfair family is one of the most interesting, most atmospheric and exotic writings I've read in the horror genre (not that I've read much horror). The end, though, I still think is a little bit out in left field, almost as if she couldn't think of anything good to do with her great idea, so just threw it out there to see where it would go. I don't enjoy the next book past that, Lasher, as much but I do enjoy Taltos because of the whole mythology of Lasher and Ashlar explained.

But anyway. I do enjoy the vampire books, though not as much as that first Mayfair Witch book. I haven't read the two newest ones yet, though I do have them.
