I don’t have the latest issue of Spin Magazine, but according to several blog posts that popped up last night it announces a new Image Comics anthology, Comic Book Tattoo, which will feature stories inspired by Tori Amos songs. Rantz Hoseley is editing and the book will be out in time for Comic-Con International next year.
Newsarama contributor Chris Arrant will write one of the stories:
As reported in the newest issue of SPIN magazine, musician Tori Amos is coming to comics in the form of a comic book anthology graphic novel entitled Comic Book Tattoo. A variety of comics talent are working on stories inspired by specific songs from Tori’s album, and I’m one of them (not the songs… the talent!) Artist Star St. Germain and I are working on a favorite song of mine that I can’t disclose just yet.
Lea Hernandez and Neil Kleid will also have stories in the book.
Update: As will Colleen Doran.
Update 2: And Leah Moore, John Reppion and Pia Guerra.

You see what I have to work with? People like Dean referring to themselves in the third person!
We’ll be giving out more details as time moves forward and we get closer to the release. I will say that I think with the creatir roster we’ve got on board, whether you are a fan of Tori’s or not, if you love comics, you’ll dig this book…;)

Ok, so we’re having a contributer check in? Then I guess I shouldn’t lurk and at least say hello and present.

Words.. that.. .for some… reason… I .. can’t.. think of… now.
