WHO KILLED AMANDA PALMER
w/stories by NEIL GAIMAN

Limited to only 10,000 copies this book is almost sold out! Get yours from Jetpack Comics today!

only $34.99 plus shipping!  

Over 125 pages of photos of a Dead Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) and stories by master scribe Neil Gaiman.  Produced in a qty limited to only 10,000 copies it is our understanding that less than 2000 are left.  Is it an experiment by Amanda or was it just a ploy to lure Neil in as her new BO'.  In either case it worked perfectly.  A smash hit sales wise and she got her man. THIS BOOK CONTAINS NUDITY!  It's an art book.  A coffee table book.  It's Amanda's beauty and Neil's beauty combined in one hard cover volume.

9 inches high x 11 1/4 inches wide this rare collectible can be yours but order quick as supplies are limited.

Sure, they don't know Jetpack Comics, but they wish they did!

From Neil Gaiman.....

So last August I went out to Boston for a few days to meet musical phenomenon Amanda Palmer. I'd loved her Dresden Dolls work, had been introduced to her in email by Jason Webley, had met her for an hour in March 2008 at the New York Comic Con just before my CBLDF event, where I introduced her to Bill Hader and Stan Lee, because they were int he green room too.

She had sent me her then-forthcoming CD WHO KILLED AMANDA PALMER, which I'd loved, and I'd agreed to write the back cover "liner notes". And then Amanda sent me an email telling me that she had been taking photographs of herself dead for about 14 years, that the original idea had been to use some of those photos for the CD sleeve, but that would not happen, and she was making it into a book, and asking if I'd be interested in writing some words to go along with them.

She sent me many of the photos. I was intrigued. Nobody had ever asked me to do anything like that before, and the photos were small frozen stories, so I said yes. I went out to Boston in August and spent a few long-but-good days with Amanda and with photographer Kyle Cassidy, who is astonishing, with Amanda's then-boyfriend Michael and with Beth Hommel, her assistant. It was like a combination of mad improv theatre and instant film-making as we created scenarios and Kyle shot them. Mostly I was somewhere off to the side, scribbling in a notebook while everything happened around me, but occasionally I was dragooned into helping, or even being part of a shot. (There was one night where I staggered back and forth down an alley at 2.00am, with a dead Amanda over my shoulder, while nearby my friend Kira made imaginary cell-phone calls, and I waited for a squad car to pull up and find out what was going on. No squad cars turned up. People in Boston are very blase about dead people in alleys. The photo made it into the book, I think.)

I loved trying to turn the photos into stories. Some big stories, some very small stories, even a new-old fairy tale, each story odd, each story fun to write, and each story, invariably, fatal.

The most fun I think were the ones where the photo created more questions than it answered (a dead woman on some waste ground, her head crushed by a manual typewriter, apparently dropped from a very high place just left me going WHY? and produced one of my favourite stories as I got to explain...)
