Actually, I did have a letter I wanted to write to you. Not sure if it's the kind of thing you'd want for your column though.
I already posted this on your board awhile, and you were kind enought to respond to it there. But I just wanted to tell this story again for the people here, because it's pretty much the coolest Con experience I've had:
I just wanted to write this to let you know how happy I am for you. Kabuki is an amazing story, and I’ve truly enjoyed it over the years. Your art is stunning, and it never ceases to amaze me.
I was lucky enough to meet you years ago, back before you were doing Kabuki at the ’93 Chicago Comic con. It was my first convention, and I spent hours walking thru the creator alley, talking to people and watching them draw. It was a great experience, as I’d never had a chance to talk to creators before.
A few hours into the show I ran across your table, and you called me over to look at what you were doing. I remember it was a Vampire comic, (I’m sorry, I don’t remember the title). I’ve never been a fan of Vampires, so I was just going to talk for a few minutes and head on but we started talking about all kinds of things, and I ended up hanging around for almost a half hour.
I was pretty broke at the time, and I remember thinking that I didn’t really want to buy a Vampire comic (sorry) but you were so cool that I wanted to buy something from you so I asked if you had did anything else. You said no, were just starting out. But you did have a new project coming out soon.
You pulled a trading card out of your jacket and showed it to me. It was Kabuki (of course I didn’t know what it was then). The card was from some kind of small press creator series. I really liked the character design, as you explained the concept I got into it. I asked if I could buy the card from you, and if you would sign it for me. You said sure, if I wanted to, and asked if $1.00 would be good.
So I bought the card, and after trying to sign it in ink (which wouldn’t stick and kept smearing), you finally took out a pencil and carved ‘Mack’ into the surface at the top. Which was actually cooler than if you had just signed it, I think. We talked a bit more, and then I moved on to the other tables.
I just want you to know that I’ve hung onto the card all these years and still have it. It wasn’t because I liked the comic, because I didn’t actually read Kabuki until 5 or so years later. It was because you were such a cool guy, and it was a great memory of my first convention.
Again, thanks for all the great work you’ve given us, and I’m so glad it all worked out for you and you made it out of the Creator Alley. It really couldn’t have happened to a better guy.
Mark Hall,
Austin TX
I didn't get a chance to see you this year at Chicago (I live in Texas now), but I hope someday I'll be able to meet you again. Will you be coming to Wizard World Texas? _________________

Oh well Dave...I don't have it either. I guess it was lost in the purge.
It is ok, I'll write another when the NEW issue comes out. _________________ SimplyJD Online - Convention coverage, comic news, interviews, rumors,

I was going to write a letter, but since this thread popped up, I'll just cut and paste it from my MS Word file;
To Dr. David (or Mr. Mack, depending on which persona reads it),
About 2 weeks ago, I read the first issue of "The Alchemy" for the first time. I forgot how much I missed new Kabuki stories.
It's been awhile since we've seen Kabuki escape the Control Corp. institution. Since then, we've seen the life of Scarab. But now, we've returned to Kabuki's journey. Where will it end up? With all the tragedy in her past life (or lives), what will await her. All I know is that I am anxiously waiting for the next chapter.
The thing about Kabuki that I love, which is the reason why I forgot how much I missed the book is something I realized while reading the first issue of the Alchemy. I find myself reading and re-reading your books over and over again. There are subtle things in your art that I end up picking up on reading it a second time. Almost everytime I read your work, there is something new that I didn't notice before. That is something I think is admirable, a work that encourages alot of re-reading.
About four years ago, I was bored with comics. I was ready to drop all of the books I bought on a regular basis. Then, I picked up Daredevil 9, which was the first issue you did with Joe Quesada. The storytelling techniques got me curious, so I went hunting around and picked up a couple of issues from the Metamorphosis arc, I was hooked. It revitalized my interest in comics. For that, I thank you.
Thank you and best wishes

kind of pathetic little letter from me, but.. here goes...
---------------------------------
Dear Mr. Mack,
I was first aquainted with your work while you were doing your run on Daredevil. I immediately fell in love with your work. I first heard about Kabuki on different Internet message boards, and when Kabuki: The Alchemy #1 came out, i KNEW i had to read it. I picked it up and i was amazed by it. The quality of it simply surpassed all the standards i had made in my mind for it. And i was intrigued by the history of the main character, so i am definitely going to pick up all the back trades, and i'm sure that they are going to be worth every penny and more.
So, THANK YOU for making one of the greatest comic books i have ever read! I am definitely sticking around with Kabuki!
Sincerely,
John S.
