The Clockwork Storybook Christmas Special

I wouldn't normally take it upon myself to link to my blog here, but I'm announcing something rather grand. The members of Clockwork Storybook kindly agreed to help me write a cheesy 1960s Christmas Special guest-starring this august assemblage. Please pop along and see our joint efforts:

In which you'll witness Bill Willingham's song about the Grinch to a Billy Joel tune; Chris Roberson falling down a chimney; and the terrible wrath of Marjorie Liu. Merry Christmas, everyone!

He also wrote Torso (with some guy named Bendis), The Lost, Casefiles: Sam and Twitch, Streets of Gotham, Blade, Wolverine, Dr. Strange, and a host of other comic books, plus the usual TV/Movie nonsense. He's co-writing an upcoming book from Dynamite with Bill Willingham. He lives in LA and likes far too much sushi.
