Guys, I had a chance to talk to David Chrichton by phone the other day we chatted for ages about ThunderCats and his book. I must say I was completely wowed by the amount of effort that has gone into his book. I think I can safely say this will be a landmark publication for ThunderCats fans and will be packed with information we've never come across.
Would you believe that David has managed to contact every writer who worked on the show? Even the really obscure ones with very common names that I would never have dreamed of trying to find contact info for. He's basically interviewed 80 or more people involved with the show and LJN!
David asked how I thought the site might be able to help promote the book. I suggested that we'd of course like to have the publisher pay for some advertising space and that we'd promote the book gladly even if they didn't. I'll let you know what comes of the first idea.
I also asked him if he would give us the content he came across that doesn't get published in the book, which he has agreed to do! The book is going to have only a few pages of photographs and he has hundreds of pics collected from staff of LJN, Rankin Bass, Pacific animation etc. Anything that his publisher doesn't print and consider part of his contract will be available to us and there is a bunch of reference materials that he's collected including what is perhaps the first ever etchings of the ThunderCats.
Amazing stuff.
I'll keep working with David and will let you know how things go. We also have up until the end of the year to include anything that we personally would like to have go into the book. However, the editing process is likely to be pretty strict and a lot of things won't be included.
