Don't Buy This Book (For Your Little Kids)

Whoops - Diamond's latest issue of Previews has Slave Labor's STRANGE EGGS book listed with a "Kid Friendly" label attached to it. Problem is, it really isn't. Now SLG is doing their best to nip things in the bud before any problems arise.

Dear Retailers:

I’m sending you this quick note to let you know that the “Kid Friendly” label that Diamond assigned to the SLG title Strange Eggs Jumps the Shark (MAY090640) in the current issue of Previews is not correct. We don’t know how it ended up with that label, but we do know that Strange Eggs Jumps the Shark has material in it that is not what a lot of parents would call “appropriate” for their kids. We hope you’ll still order it, though — it has new stories by a lot of great creators, including Jhonen Vasquez (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac), Derf (The City), J. Marc Schmidt (Egg Story), Eisner-nominated and Eisner judge Ben Towle (Midnight Sun), Roger Langridge (Fred The Clown, The Muppets) and the now-oft-blogged-about James Turner (Rex Libris, Warlord of Io).”

The book is co edited by Harvey award nominee & Eisner judge Chris Reilly and Eisner Nominee and Judge Ben Towle.
