Stereo Comics   +  TIME

I'm not prone to hyperbole, but this sounds like the greatest book ever in the history of humanity

From a while back on Joel Meadow's blog: "Currently, I'm working on a number of different projects: I'm polishing off a book on comic artists that I'm co-editing and writing with a colleague of mine, Gary Marshall, called Studio Space, which will look at the way that artists work. The book has a very exciting list of artists including Frank Miller, Jim Lee, Moebius, Brian Bolland, Tim Bradstreet, Duncan Fegredo, Joe Kubert, Walt Simonson, Mike Mignola, Tim Sale, Howard Chaykin and George Pratt."

He updated about this project this afternoon: "I spent most of this weekend down in Winchester, visiting my friend Gary Marshall, who I'm doing the Studio Space book with. We got a lot of work done, coming up with intros for each artist in the book. Currently the list of artists in Studio Space (something I've never stated publically before) is: Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons, Tim Bradstreet, Howard Chaykin, Sean Phillips, Duncan Fegredo, Joe Kubert, Mike Mignola, Tim Sale, George Pratt, Tommy Lee Edwards, Adam Hughes, Sergio Toppi, Walter Simonson, Jim Lee, Frank Miller, Moebius, Alex Ross and Steve Dillon. There may be a couple of other alterations but that's pretty much the final rundown. It's beginning to feel like a real book now: we're delivering to our publishers at the end of the year and it should be out in the Autumn of 2007, which is exciting. You realise that books move at a different pace to magazines and it will be two years from when we signed contracts to when it's actually out on the shelves."

That's a lot of great artists. Sounds brilliant.
