An anthology featuring stories and selected coherent scenes from various comics and graphic novels numbering over 300 pages.  Short stories have appeared in various issues such as High Caliber, Deadworld, Negative Burn, Caliber Presents, and many others.  Scenes include those from Baker Street, Saint Germaine, Sinergy, Realm, Seeker, Magus, Ghost Sonata, No-Man's Land, and others.  In addition, there will be the first look at the abandoned Beatles project with R.G. Taylor that was put on hold due to the death of the publisher, Byron Preiss.

Each selection, chosen by Gary, will have a prelude where Gary discusses the story or scene and what was the motivation behind it, how it was to work with the artist, etc.  There are many art books spotlighting the creative process of artists and this provides an opportunity for a writer to provide the same.

Gary has written a wide array of comics and graphic novels in virtually every genre and the diverse offerings here spotlight his insightful and often, thought provoking skills. He has been nominated for numerous industry awards as writer, editor, publisher over the years.  The artists included here are diverse as well and many of them are now some of the top names on high profile books.

The book was released at the Wizard World Chicago in August from Transfuzion Publishing.
