    Speaking of which, Aardwolf Publishing informs me that you bought my last book “god’s 15 minutes” directly from them. So consider this note a thank you. Also consider it an offer you can’t refuse. Or shouldn’t refuse. Or that I’m hoping you won’t refuse. It would be swell if you didn’t.

    In March, Aardwolf Publishing will release METHo.d., my first new collection since god’s 15 minutes. So you could say this is god’s 16th minute. METHo.d. (subtitled Mean Little Stories) has 13 new raw tales with illustrations by some of the coolest cats in comics illustration—Steve Lieber, Michael Netzer, Jordan Raskin, Wm. Messner-Loebs, Al Milgrom, Paty Cockrum, Earl Geier, and Anthony Carpenter. But it ain’t comics. You’ve never seen these artists looking better.

    Not good enough? There’s also an introduction by Peter David and a startling cover by comics legend JIM STERANKO.

    (excerpt)

    I want you to have METHo.d. so badly that I’m almost willing to come to your house and deliver it myself. I won’t do that, but if you visit www.AardwolfPublishing.com and order the book, you will certainly get it quickly. There are only 200 copies of the signed-limited edition (which is just $2 more than the regular edition—what were they thinking?!) Please visit www.AardwolfPublishing.com right now and order your copy. If you do, I promise not to bother you for another three years,

    From Vu

    This isn't a real review, since I haven't actually read anything but the introduction to this book.

    This collects Clifford Meth's first five books: THIS BASTARD PLANET, THE WHITE MAN DANCING, CRAWLING FROM THE WRECKAGE, CONFLICTS OF DISINTEREST, and PERVERTS, PEDOPHILES & OTHER THEOLOGIANS... but it's not all reprints. There are a few new introductions and artwork (I think), including a new cover by Michael Kaluta.

    The book also is benefiting Harlan Ellison's KICK Internet Piracy Fund, which, if you have been keeping up with the news, was settled in early June 2004.

    The price is a little expensive ($85), but it is only limited to 52 copies, with each book with a hand sketch by Kaluta.

    Here is the pencilled illustration and autographs:

    (excerpt)

    The other project Meth is involved in right now is "god's 15 minutes," a 252 page book of illustrated fiction featuring introductions by Harlan Ellison, Al Feldstein, Steve Gerber, Roy Thomas, and the late Robert Bloch with art by Gene Colan, Marie Severin, Joe Kubert, Mike Ploog, George Perez, Dave Cockrum, Joe Sinnott, Herb Trimpe, and others. The book ships this April from Aardwolf Publishing, who is also direct-selling 220 signed/numbered copies (signed by cover artist Michael Kaluta, Ellison, and Meth). Retailers can also order the regular book from Diamond, which comes with a signed bookplate (signed only by Meth).

    ...

    "The artists drew whatever they wanted, but they were assigned stories - this is a book of illustrated fiction. The artists - Gene Colan, Dave Cockrum, Marie Severin, Joe Sinnott, Herb Trimpe, Gray Morrow, George Perez - illustrated actual stories. And then some of my writer friends (and even some of the artists) were asked to write intros. So you have Harlan Ellison, Roy Thomas, Steve Gerber, Tony Isabella, Gene Colan, Bill Messner-Loebs, and Al Feldstein going on about something Meth did or something Meth didn't do or a particular story. It's a fun book. There's even an afterword that the late, great Robert Bloch wrote for me years ago."

    Also I was at the comic store and the owner who knows I am a big Perez fan informed me that George is mentioned in a Comic book by AARDWOLF called God's Fifteen Minutes. It has some Perez artwork probabbly a Pin-up.

    god’s 15 minutes is 256 pages of pure Meth adrenaline.

    ...and the never-before-published “Ellison on Meth” by Harlan Ellison.
