When I saw this press release I was excited about Jaime Hernandez and Ann was excited about Scott Turow. May have to start getting the Sunday Times. Which I imagine is what they wanted. Curse their effective marketing!

JAIME HERNANDEZ WRITES THE STRIP IN NYTIMES MAGAZINE

Press Release

Bestselling author Scott Turow makes his debut in the next “Sunday Serial,” the popular feature in The New York Times Magazine’s “Funny Pages.” Readers can look forward to Mr. Turow’s legal thriller, “Limitations,” an original work commissioned by The Magazine, which begins on Sunday, April 23, and will appear in 16 weekly installments.

Filled with the trademark mystery and suspense that has made Mr. Turow an international phenomenon, the novel involves an appeals court judge presiding over a panel hearing of a disturbing rape case. The serial will be published later this year in book format by Picador as a trade paperback original. Mr. Turow’s previous award-winning books include “Presumed Innocent,” “The Burden of Proof,” “Personal Injuries” and “Reversible Errors.”

“The Sunday Serial,” which showcases genre fiction, is one of the main features of “The Funny Pages,” launched in September 2005. Elmore Leonard, whose serial, “Comfort to the Enemy,” ended in December, was the first contributor, followed by Patricia Cornwell, whose serial, “At Risk,” ended yesterday.

The section also includes “The Strip,” exclusive full-color weekly strips featuring stars of the graphic novel; a new comic by Jaime Hernandez, whose credits include “Love & Rockets” and the award-winning “Penny Century.” It debuts April 23. A humor column, “True-Life Tales,” which highlights the best young humor writers on the circuit, also continues. If readers miss an installment of “The Sunday Serial” or want to catch up on “The Strip” or the humor column, “The Funny Pages” section is available at NYTimes.com/magazine.

The New York Times reaches 5 million print readers on weekdays and 7 million print readers on Sunday (Source: 2004 Scarborough Study), as well as 1.6 million users who visit NYTimes.com everyday (Source: Nielsen//NetRatings-March 2006).

The New York Times Magazine ranked second in 2005 among all PIB - (Publishers Information Bureau) measured magazines for total ad pages. Its regular contributors include Lynn Hirschberg, Michael Lewis, Jeffrey Rosen, Matt Bai, James Traub, Daphne Merkin, David Rieff, Noah Feldman, Peter Maass and Susan Dominus.

oh, man, jaime hernandez is another amazing artist who can barely get one book out on time, let alone two... and while this isn't a book, per se, i just hope this doesn't spell 'the end' for love and rockets. the mechanics storyline has been so good - it always is. and i live in hope that someday before they're seventy, maybe maggie and hopey will get back together.

(i have no romantic life to speak of, so pardon me if i invest a lot in the fictional romantic relationships i follow.)

nonetheless, i'm always excited to see artists i love doing new things. i, too, may have to check out the NY times, in paper or magazine form. at least they have good crosswords, too.

May
