How do you make unpublished art in your collection become published art? Simple. Stick it into a book you are publishing.

Here's the thing: There are some franchises I will ALWAYS be excited for more. They don't have to be great. More of the same is eternally welcome.
I will always want more:
Star Wars
Star Trek
007
Dr Who

"oh wow" is the correct response to this work.
Every so often I pull a book out of a box and go "oh wow". Today that was Yokai by Shigeru Mizuki. Descriptions of Japanese folklore from one of the all time manga greats. ♥️♥️♥️

‘Ultimate X-Men by Peach Momoko Vol. 3: The Realm of the Mind’ review
Intimate, eerie, and unlike anything else in Marvel’s current lineup.

As I never go to Starbucks anyways, I can happily join in this boycott.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
