Another new one

[Who's Wee Dug]

I really like the cover. Publication Date: 18 Oct 2012

Very cool

That looks to me very much like our French covers artist, Kemar's (Marc Simonetti) work.

Does anyone know if this is the case?

Compare Nanny Ogg in the picture below to the one above.

I think you're right, Tony. In addition to Nanny, compare the belt buckles on the witches' hats and look at the way the human arms are drawn on both pix..very angular.

 

[Tonyblack]

If it is him, then I think it's great that he's getting recognition on such a mainstream UK book. :clap: Well deserved.

 

[Dotsie]

Absolutely and the cover looks great as well.

 

[michelanCello]

Just what I thought, Tony...hope it's him, he deserves it!

 

[pip]

Kemar has confirmed it was him across in Discworld books froum . Well done. Brilliant cover .

 

[Catch-up]

Great cover, and great title! Haven't seen that picture before Tony, thanks for putting it up.

There's a whole thread of the French covers HERE.

Ah! Missed that. Thanks Tony!

Just saw this posted elsewhere: Terry Pratchett's Johnny and the Bomb: A Time-tickingly Tremendous Musical.

At that price I think I'll pass.

I wonder if that will be another cobbled together version like that "The Spirit of Fantasy".

What, The Discworld Companion? It's been around for decades, comes out in a new edition occasionally as more is written. Sometimes it has stuff in it from books that haven't come out yet, or that didn't fit in the book but is still interesting to know.

I think Dug is referring to the Johnny and the Bomb book.

As far as I can tell it's some sort of performance pack with a rewriting of the book along with added songs, music etc. to allow people to stage it.

I had the impression that the musical came with some way to hear the music, which to my way of thinking qualifies as a production itself. I will probably get it.
