My translator Wim Lockefeer just sent me this photo of the Belgian edition of 99 Ways to Tell a Story on sale at Het Besloten Land, one of those mythically great European comics shops I've been hearing about for years:
I got my copies of the book recently and it looks fantastic. It's a hardcover and it's printed on smooth, slightly glossy paper which surprised me at first but which looks really good. Like most of the European editions, it has several pages in color that are black-and-white in the US and UK editions.
And speaking of foreign editions, I just heard that the South Korean edition is still in the works and should be out in fall '08.
Incidentally, Wim has a really fun blog where he posts all kinds of rare comics ephemera. I'll be sending him a little package one of these days in the hopes that some of the stuff (from me and Jessica but also other artists) will turn up there

Dear Matt,
thanks for the very kind words regarding our shop in Leuven! Also thanks to Toon, the art director of the non-profit organisation Strip Turnhout who publishes your book, who tought of Het Besloten Land to promote the book in a television show!
When you're in Belgium, certainly pass by in the shop. Maybe we can even throw in a signature session!
Grtz,
Koen
Koen,
It's a deal, we'll do a signing next time I'm in Belgium--although I may have a new book out by then!
I'll have to bug Toon to put that TV segment on YouTube...
