Digital Bo

The fine folks at MAD Magazine tell me that Bo Confidential, the book I illustrated for them several years ago under a nightmarish deadline, is now available as a digital download through the MAD app on the iPad for the ridiculously exorbitant low price of $1.99 (cheap). There are eventual plans of making it available on other platforms as a regular book download (i.e. the Kindle Fire, Nook color, etc) but no timeframe on that.

It is cool that the MAD app is adding things like this to the mix of available content on the iPad. They already have made special issues like the MAD Magazine Presents . . . Batman issue from last month. For those not familiar with it, the MAD app is a free newsstand app exclusively for the iPad, where you can buy individual issues for $1.99, or get an annual digital subscription (six issues) for $9.99. Best of all, if you have a print subscription, you get the digital issues for free by logging in with your subscription info.

This fall I will have another book (not MAD related this time) I illustrated released by Simon & Schuster… more details on that when it’s officially unveiled.
