We’re pleased to announce a fantastic assortment of brand new books from the fine folks at TOPATOCO, publisher of great webcomics collections. And remember, we’re having the awesome official launch party for the Dinosaur Comics book tomorrow night…!
Dinosaur Comics: Dudes Already Know About Chickens, by Ryan North. $18.00
Finally, a Dinosaur Comics book, unabridged and in full colour, AND with all three secret texts for each comic included! And it’s so pretty, you guys. So pretty. Featuring an introduction by Randall Munroe of XKCD and an all-new index written by Ryan that includes, among other things, the 11 different types of makeouts referenced by T-Rex, this book is great. It gets greater: there’s also an interview with the author AND a photo of Michael “Worf” Dorn. You know that you’ve always wanted these extras collected in one book, maybe with hundreds of Dinosaur Comics in the book too. THAT DREAM HAS NOW COME TRUE, and it’s called “Dinosaur Comics: Dudes Already Know About Chickens”.
