*Note:You are not allowed to use this picture in your house!
Stephen and Marvel have decided to push back the launch of the Dark Tower comic books to 2007. "Given the size of the project and all the creative talent involved, I want to give the Marvel series all the room to breathe it needs and deserves," said Stephen. "I've got so much else going on in 2006 - two novels coming out, CELL and LISEY'S STORY, and the work with John Mellencamp on 'Ghost Brothers of Darkland County.' The Marvel series is going to be a blast, and I want to have the time to enjoy it."

d first arc of the Dark Tower comic series will be shipping in February 2007. The last issue of this six-issue series will be shipping in July 2007. The first hardcover collection will be shipping in October 2007.

Hello King fans. Anybody in Chicago might be interested in this.
Check our website for more information including press photos.
Hell in a Handbag Productions, who brought you POSEIDON! An Upside
Down Musical and Rudolph, The Red-Hosed Reindeer, are proud to
present:
SCARRIE – The Musical, an unauthorized musical parodage** of the
classic 70's horror film Carrie, the tale of a high school misfit,
who raises telekinetic hell when pushed too far by her peers and
religious fanatical mother. This new musical by David Cerda features
a rockin' 1970's influenced score and lots of
pigs' blood.
"This story just resonates with me. It's the ultimate revenge
fantasy. I also truly LOVE the film… Sissy Spacek is the embodiment
of what I and so many others I know felt like on the inside - she's
just wonderful, as is Betty Buckley and of course the magnificent
Piper Laurie. The film is just ripe for parody"
~David Cerda, playwright/composer.
SCARRIE – The Musical opens Saturday, July 2 (previews July 1) and
runs through Sunday, August 7. Performances are Thurs-Sat 7:30 PM
and Sun at 2:00 PM at Theatre Building Chicago, 1225 W. Belmont.
Tickets are $25.00 and are available by calling the Theatre Building
Chicago Box Office at 773.327.5252. Group sales are also available
by calling 312.409.4357.
Handbag's production features Joey Steakley as the high school
outcast Carrie White and ensemble member Ed Jones as her histrionic
God fearing mother. Trista Smith will play Miss Collins, the tough
but caring gym teacher with Robyn Senchak and ensemble member Tim
Howard as the devious Chris Hargenson and Billy Nolan. Veronica
Sheaffer plays the well meaning Sue Snell, and Ryan Lanning is Sue's
boyfriend the All-American, golden curled Tommy Ross.
The cast also includes ensemble member Merrie Greenfield as well as
Rachael Kay Albers, Trish Austin, Jaya Subramanian, Kyra
Lewandowski, Kevin Simmons, Adam Cook, Michael Kingston and James
Bould.
Special guest star appearances are also scheduled throughout the run
and include Curt Columbus and Erica Daniels (Steppenwolf), Jim
Bennett (Windy City Radio, GayCo), Jinx Titanic (Jinx Titanic band),
