When I get a large fireplace and mantle, this book will be in the center of the mantle.

Wow.
That cover does well to capture the spirit of achewood.
It is classy and timeless, and not at all sissified.
Also, I will finally be able to introduce my friends to achewood without dragging them through that most monstrous series of tubes.

If you look at the first strip in the GOF series, the truth behind which man is facing in which direction will reveal itself.

The story arc really starts here, http://achewood.com/index.php?date=01112006 , which has little to do with the fight directly, but does give new fans a bit more on the main characters. And how they have no business getting involved in something like this. . . or do they?

That’s not a cowboy, It’s five cats in a man suit!

No way. Look at the shape of the thighs (mmmmm). Brutus Killzone is plainly the man facing us, on our right. He will eat the cowboy and his tasty fringed trousers.

The two men on the cover are obviously facing each other.

The question is…WHICH ONE is facing us?

I say it’s the one on the left.

I had a dream last year that I wrote a doctoral thesis on the history of The Great Outdoor Fight. I spoke to all these guys who won it but they looked like regular people. I have no idea what I could have possibly been getting my PhD in if that was the topic. When I woke up, I was bummed.

As i am currently reading “The Mark on the Door”, Mr Onstad’s homage to the rockin’, masculine, classic Hardy Boys covers looks like just the thing.

….but it is substantially lacking in actual Achewood silhouettes.

[...] In other news, I assume everybody’s seen the cover art for the forthcoming Great Outdoor Fight book over at Heidi’s place, right? Gotta say, it’s a little human-focused for my tastes. Perhaps our society is both hetero-normative and anthro-centric, but at least one cat would have been nice. [...]

I just find it heartwarming that so far (almost) every response has been positive and that it’s so refreshing to discover blog-post comments where no one has a user name with “lol” in it.

I love it when someone like ingledink humperbert makes a snide, superior remark which questions another person’s intelligence, and the remark contains capitalization errors and extraneous commas.

Yeah, you need to be commenting on the intelligence of others.

If the men on the the cover duked it out, the one with fringe on his pants would win. Hands down.

dare i say, these intelligent and thought-provoking reviews of the above book cover art work, reflect the intelligence level of readers of said book cover?

Hey, “Envelope”,
It’s true, I am fairly unaware of the indie comics world and web comics in general and that is why I’m so glad that I’ve stumbled on this blog. I keep learning more and more and discovering new things. A whole new world in many ways.
