JB - how did it feel to sit back down at your drafting table?••• Surprisingly natural.

Actually, if I may ask.....might the inked pages have lettering on-board?••• ‘Fraid not!

S'ok, not a dealbreaker. Maybe I should print the page and paste the balloons over the glass once it's framed!

 Fantastic news! I am so glad that this will be seeing print  - and very excited to see the inked pages. 
  I loved that we first saw the story as pencils first, and  that the inked pages will give us a chance to experience  this in a different way. And by seeing Paul's posts over  time in this very forum, we didn't know we were getting a  preview!!
  Really wonderful to see Chris Ryall as editor - he  published all of those amazing IDW JB books, so it's great  to see he is involved.

Thanks all! (:I'm not lost on the fact that JB took a chance on me. I so do not want to disappoint! Very proud of the fact that I sprang organically from the JBF!

I'm absolutely delighted that 'Elsewhen' is going to be published.  I'm particularly pleased that it will be published in a prestigious format, which the material richly deserves.  Mind you, if I thought it was hard waiting a few days until Thursday to find out what the big announcement was... I now have to wait until April 2026?!?  Ouch!  Definitely worth the wait though.  I will pre-order my copy as soon as possible.  Thanks to JB and everyone who has made this happen.
