Paperbacks were the only books I could afford and even they were horrendously expensive. Just one book cost as much as three comic books and a Milky Way bar: 35 whole cents. For that kind of money, I wanted value, so whenever I could I snatched up Ace Doubles. <br /> <br /> That was a long long time ago, of course. Ace Books is still around and doing fine, though they stopped publishing "doubles" decades ago. But I'm still going to get my double... kinda sorta... thanks to Bill Schafer and the good folks at Subterreanean Press.<br /> http://georgerrmartin.com/news.html 66CF8835-A130-46AB-9ADB-211507520C3D Fri, 20 Jun 2008 08:59:04 -0600 MARVEL RELEASES HEDGE KNIGHT GRAPHIC NOVELS Dunk and Egg are back.<br /> <br /> If you missed the six-issue run of The Hedge Knight II: The Sworn Sword from DBPro and Marvel Comics, don't despair.
