Our friend Nick Bertozzi is releasing his long-awaited and much anticipated comic THE SALON this month (St Martin's Press-April 18th) as well as HOUDINI: THE HANDCUFF KING written by Jason Lutes and drawn by Nick (CCS/Hyperion-Out now!).
We're really excited for Nick and from what we've seen it's going to be an incredible piece of work. We're highlighting it here because Nick is the man responsible for our save the date cards, and our invitations, which will be sent out soon, and are really nice.
