The online retailer Amazon is now listing for the book Stargazing Dog
, by manga creator Takashi Murakami. Publisher NBM Books
has confirmed with that it plans to release the book in November.
Amazon is also listing a volume titled Yuichi Yokoyama: Color Engineering
from publisher PictureBox
. Yokoyama's short story "Book" was featured in PictureBox's New Engineering anthology and was nominated for an Eisner Award in 2008.
ANN has confirmed that publisher Harper Collins, which had a co-publishing and distribution deal with Tokyopop from 2006 until the beginning of 2011, will continue the original comic series Vampire Kisses
. An Amazon listing for Vampire Kisses: Graveyard Games #1
currently shows a release date of September 27, and Katherine Tegen Books, a Harper Collins imprint, as the publisher.
An editor working on the project told that work had begun on the book prior to Tokyopop's closure. The closure caused a delay in the book's production. The new volume retains writer Ellen Schreiber, but replaces artist Rem — who will illustrate Yen Press' upcoming graphic novel adaptation of the American novel Soulless — with Xian Nu Studios.
A listing on Amazon does not necessarily indicate definite release plans.
