(which he says is not a ripoff) It seems that they had planned to have a cover with Tim and an owl on the cover. Yet it got killed because TW was just releasing one of the HP movies. And someone upstairs thought it would cause an embarrasing conflict in the company. In regards to BOM, I remember reading a Gaimon interview recently discussing it and HP.

Your last point also makes me wonder why DC couldn't more effectively capitalize on Books of Magic. Jeff, true, true, I can’t blame anyone for trying to cash out after decades.

Back when rocks were soft and Sting was innovative. I can still see the kid I was when I loved that book if I stand someplace high and peer... but there are many, many things I loved at that age (and younger) that I still love. They stopped watering that plant a hell of a long time ago. They WERE the real deal. Back when rocks were soft and Sting was innovative.

Elfquest isn't like one of those graphic novels that's a thinly disguised movie pitch; it was the real deal. I kinda can't blame them for wanting to get a big paycheck out of their intellectual property. And in a world where the Lord of the Rings trilogy grossed over a billion dollars, I'm kinda surprised they haven't gotten one yet...
