In full disclosure, it's true that I work for the publisher of TIGERHEART, so I realize I'm perhaps not credible when I speak about the book. Even so, I do want to say that TIGERHEART is, quite possibly, the best thing Peter David has ever written, and anyone who hasn't read it might just owe it to him/herself to do so.

Thanks for adding my name to the "Ronald Reagan," listing, Heidi (though it's misspelled), as it was not listed on the SLJ website. Interested readers should also note that while I drew the first 50 pages of this Graphic Novel, the great JOE STATON drew the second half. Congrats to my "Reagan" collaborators, and all the other great creators on the list! Very cool!

But hey... I'll cut them some slack for something like this. (And go to the NBM site and read the preview for "The Museum Vaults"!)
