New York Times bestselling novelist Neil Gaiman and DC Comics Co-Publisher Jim Lee’s illustrated poem “100 Words†is available today for the first time digitally. This seven page poem can be purchased for .99 cents through the DC app and DCcomics.com storefront. All of DC Comics’ proceeds benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
“From The Sandman and Black Orchid to Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?, Neil Gaiman has provided some of the most memorable stories of the comic book industry,†said Jim Lee. “This was a unique opportunity for the two of us to collaborate together and I’m thrilled that the story is now available for even more fans in this format.â€
This project was originally published as part of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund 2010 annual comic book and was, until now, only available as a limited edition print on neverwear.net.
“The project began when I was asked to write a hundred word poem about death. And I did. I tried to make it honest and, given the word limit, simple and true,†said Neil Gaiman.
“Jim Lee took my poem and illustrated it, in a beautiful pencil style, turned it into a comic, as a limited edition print that was published by Neverwear for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and it made people happy. It made me especially happy, as I’ve been a fan of Jim’s since Chris Claremont showed me some advanced pages by a talented newcomer, somewhere back in the dawn of time, and we’ve been trying (and failing) to work together ever since.
Most people haven’t seen “100 Words.†I love that there’s now an opportunity for everybody to see what Jim and I did, all up close and digital. And I’m thrilled that DC Comics is publishing it for such a good cause.â€
Over at ICv2 there is an interview with Dark Horse CEO – Mike Richardson. Of particular interest is his comments regarding the launch of Dark Horse Digital:
While we’re on the topic of digital, Apple recently announced a new policy regarding how apps can work in terms of content that’s not bought through iTunes. Is that impacting Dark Horses plans for its own digital launch?
If you saw our announcement in New York in late 2010, you know that it is impacting us. We basically were about to launch when they announced their new policy. Of course that didn’t make as much news regarding Dark Horse on the effect it had on Dark Horse, but certainly one the readers that was rejected got a lot of attention.
We were set to go, so this is going to delay us a few weeks, but we’ll be fine. We have a really aggressive program. We want to put our stuff up but we want to make it available. We want to make it available at really great price. Some of the challenges that we have with Apple are that we’d like to charge the price we want to charge and we’d like to make sure we have last say in how our material is presented, but we’re like everyone else. We need to be in the Apple store, so we’ll do what we need to do. Dark Horse is into Apple in a big way–we use Macs and Apple technology for our whole company. We have iPods and iPads and iPhones and we’re very much Apple reliant. It’s not a big deal, it’s just going to delay us a few weeks.

Thanks to Robot 6 for this one:
[Reader question:] How far away are we from seeing the entire Marvel line being released digitally day and date? I’m ready. There are a few titles I would still get hard copies of, but a lot of titles I just want to read and not have to deal with storing/saving.
[Brevoort:] It’s in the future–just how far in the future I can’t even guess at this point.
