No this is not about The Beatles Revolution #9, it's about CRIMESPREE issue #9 shipping. It was all boxed up and sent off to the Mailing service on Friday, so it should start showing up in about 10 days, unless you are in Canada, then for some reason you seem to get it much quicker....

Doesn't Max Allan Collins realize he looks like a total dork with that haircut?

Steven said...

Actually, I think he looks a bit like Elton John. I hope that's not an insult. What's up with the Burkes for issue ten? I mean what's the connection?

#9 looks like another great issue. And not just because I'm kinda in it.

Jon The Crime Spree Guy said...

The Burkes, Alafair and Jan, together is just a coincidence. No relation, no real reason other than the fact that they are both great authors.

and Alafair got a puppy..... so look for pictures.

max has had that look forever. it's kind of his signature, and i think it's great. as styles change around him, he remains the same -- but our perception of his look changes. right now i would call it peter sellers meets urban hipster. :D

Graham Powell said...

I actually saw him at BCon in 2002, and he looked the same. When he went over his publishing history I was a bit surprised to realize he must be over 50.

So he's a pretty well-preserved dork.

20 years ago, when he taught at the mississippi valley writers conference, he looked exactly the same. :D (i think he still teaches there.)
