A couple of years ago, a new-to-me promotional item for Swan Song showed up on eBay. It was the first time I’d ever seen one, and I was lucky enough to win the auction. I finally got it scanned last week. It’s an oversized (9×12) pocket-less folder. When opened, it unfolds with a pop-up demon head from the cover. Click on each image below to view a larger version.
Frank Dietz and Greg Nicotero at WonderFest in Louisville yesterday. I got to meet with Greg for a couple of minutes, and I asked about the TV adaptation of Robert McCammon’s Swan Song, which he’s co-producing. Not much to report yet, but he said they have hired a writer, and it would probably be released sometime in 2026. It’s very early days, but he said we’d talk more in the future, so hopefully that’ll happen.
