You've seen them at flea markets and in antique shops and used bookstores across the country. Vintage postcards with handwritten notes from the past, evocative messages that capture a thought, an expression, a concern, a snapshot of someone's life once upon a time.

Jason Rodriguez has collected a remarkable array of these correspondences, dispersed them among thirty-three of comic's greatest creators, and asked them to each create a story about the person who sent it. The result is a vividly imagined, gorgeously rendered graphic novel anthology illustrating tales of romance, adventure, hardship, and mystery. In [POSTCARDS], these gifted artists share some of the most rich and inventive work of their careers.

[POSTCARDS] will be available on July 17th, 2007 from Villard Books, a division of the Random House Publishing Group. It features stories from Harvey Pekar, Joyce Brabner, & Matt Kindt, Phil Hester, Tom Beland, Stuart Moore & Michael Gaydos, and others.
