Larry Young announced on Sunday night that his publishing house, AiT/Planet Lar is starting off 2002 by turning over January's entire offerings to the works of Brian Wood.
"I was a fan of Bri Wood's stuff ever since I saw the original solicitation for CHANNEL ZERO #1 in Previews three years ago, and it's personally a dream project for me to offer a launching pad for the genius Brian Wood," Young says. "When we were able to offer the collected CHANNEL ZERO in September of 2000, I told Bri that this was just the beginning; that he'd be a household name in comics in three years. It looks like even I underestimated the appeal of his work."
"The very idea that there is a 'Brian Wood Month' is probably the coolest thing to happen to my comics career to date. I'm living the comics American dream," Wood says. "I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but only AiT/PlanetLar is this cool, to allow creators absolute freedom to execute their visions and indulge their fetishes the way they see fit."
In January, AiT/Planet Lar is offering the brand-new PUBLIC DOMAIN: THE CHANNEL ZERO DESIGN BOOK, which collects close to five years of preliminary and post-CHANNEL ZERO design and artwork, including close to 60 pages of never-seen comics from Wood's art school years.
Also included are dozens of deleted scenes, rejected pages,posters, sketches, script excerpts, creator's notes and character designs from the original series, as well as the contents of the CHANNEL ZERO issue "Dupe", which had remained out of print and unavailable since 1998 and will be included in this volume.
Also offered in January is a special autographed (by writer Wood and artist Brett Weldele) version of the Couscous Express retail poster, another chance to get Channel Zero, the Make Them Listen, Make Them Understand T-shirt seen in CHANNEL ZERO, as well as a Couscous Express embroidered patch.
