creativeI love Preacher. I read the first trade paperback last night which was the first 7 issues or so. I needed that. I needed that feeling again: that feeling of deep satisfaction that you only get from the marriage of art and words.
I'm in a funny mood today. It's cold and warm in San Francisco at the same time. The air feels clean and a man roams the streets, asking for three dollars and twenty-five cents so that he can get drunk and recover from his heroin addiction. I haven't seen it today, but a gay couple can walk downtown holding hands and kissing and nobody turns to look. If I read it right, according to Preacher God is in San Francisco. That sounds so right.
Found it! It was issue #51 of Sandman titled "A Tale of Two Cities". It's been reprinted in Book 8 of the Sandman series "World's End". And I forgot to mention that it's a comic book. :P
The cover art is amazing, and the characters are so interesting (and disgusting and annoying and funny and sympathetic but always interesting) ... I'll have to re-read the first book soon while waiting for the rest. :)
