I love Ben Caldwell's work! After discovering DARE DETECTIVES, I tracked down his other work and even bought his two "how to draw" books. Have you seen his adaptation of DRACULA? It's very nice -- much better quality printing than this one. I don't mind the cheap printing, though, if it keeps costs down. I'm not going to leave the book out in the sun anyway, so what does it matter. The art is simple enough to not demand a high-quality paper.
