Fat Pigeons

Some more show bibles have appeared (or re-appeared in the case of Dark Skies) on the Internet since my original bible round-up, so I thought I’d better let you have a look at them too.

The Crow: Stairway to Heaven – Bryce Zabel
Dark Skies – Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman
Callan – James Mitchell

And if you’d rather have dead trees (and who wouldn’t, really?) you can also find bibles in the following books:

The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Star Trek: Phase II
thirtysomething stories
The Making of Star Trek

Interesting news.

And just possibly related to the recent decision to create two Direct to DVD Stargate movies. MGM owns the franchise, whose TV run is now coming to an end after ten years on two networks.

It’s a big hitter, with a solid fan-base – which translates into sales. Don’t be surprised to see this as part of the launch lineup.

David Bishop edited 2000AD seven years ago, before moving on to fresh pastures.

Before doing so, he wrote a rough guide to putting together a weekly comic as reference material for his successors.

If you’re at all interested in the technical aspects of running a comic, this is a fascinating read.

Nicole Kidman had to go to hospital recently for a checkup after a minor car crash.
