Press Release — Thursday, April 20, 2023 — For Immediate Release
April 20, 2023 — Slingsby Bros, Ink! Is pleased to announce that the first volume in our Carol Day art book series is in stock and ready to ship!
The culmination of a 2 ½ year effort, we are very proud to honor and celebrate David Wright's superb comic strip with a deluxe art book presentation, and to deliver one of his masterpieces to Carol Day fans in the format it deserves.
Consequently, the book is a whopping 19 ¼ x 14 ¼ inches in size. To round out the presentation, comics great and Carol Day fan Brian Bolland contributed the cover, and the book includes a background article on David Wright’s life and career, a critical analysis, and a portfolio of contemporary interpretations of Carol Day by a suite of today’s top comic artists.
To order, click here (carol-day.com/buy). Note that if you buy a copy by June 10, 2023, you will be automatically entered into a drawing for a signed print of Brian Bolland's cover to Lance Hallam. This is the only physical art existing for the cover. Full details can be found here.
Our print run was 500 copies. Prior to publication we had reservations for about half the run, and fans shouldn't hesitate to order if they are interested in the book.
Early reception is positive — here's what one very well-regarded collector posted to a mail group after seeing an advance copy: "It is truly a magnificent art book. Well worth the price and with a print run of only 500, I can't recommend getting a copy reserved soon any stronger. Get this book or this omission will haunt you the rest of your days. There may be some press around this book soon and it won't take much for this to sell out."
This is the first of our planned series, and we need help to continue the project! To see how you can help, go to our Project Dashboard (carol-day.com/dashboard) to see what we're working on, and how to contact us.
