I went over to Tony Ritchie's blog. He's the event coordinator at Olsson's Books. He dedicates his weekly blog post to the July 24th POSTCARDS signing (Dupont store, 7PM). He has some wonderful things to say about the book, especially this bit:

I have been a comic fan since I was little and it is something that never really leaves you if you loved it. If done well, the stories can open a whole new section of your imagination that you never thought about. They are a beautiful way for people to enjoy art and enjoy story at the same time. If you find them immature and juvenile, I will argue too you that all early art was a type of Comic book. Think of the Sistine Chapel. Important huh? Nice work of art? What STORY does it tell? If you don't know, it tells a whole series of stories from the old testament. The Creation of the Universe, Noah and his children, it is all right there for you to read without a single word.

Now, granted, he was talking about comics in general and he wasn't exactly saying that comics are as important as the Sistine Chapel. Fine. But with a little editing I'm sure I can turn that into the greatest back-cover quote of all time.
