These are very exciting times for The Sorrowful Putto of Prague. Firstly, 2017 will see the first print edition of the comic hit bookstores. As previously mentioned, a Czech edition (<\/span>Truchliv\u00fd amoret pra\u017esk\u00fd<\/b>) will be released this year by hugely respected Prague based publishers Argo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent the past couple of months finalising the design of the book with the hugely talented art team at Argo. The book was originally pencilled in for late 2016, but we decided to hold off to get the book looking exactly as we wanted.<\/p>\n

I can assure you it will be well worth the wait. Argo are famous for the quality of their book designs and the Putto promises to live up to their high standards. <\/span>We\u2019ll confirm the print date shortly and hopefully have plenty of previews of the book for people to take a look at. <\/span><\/p>\n

More sorrowful music<\/b><\/p>\n

Over the years the online soundtrack to The Putto has gotten lots of positive attention, most notably when The Cure\u2019s Roger O\u2019Donnell kindly provided a superb companion piece to our ‘Disintegratio’ chapter<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

To mark our Czech language publication, 2017 will see more music added to the project. In the coming weeks we should be able to announce the first of the new tracks. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first piece even involves yours truly dusting down his old Les Paul, Takemine, Marshall(ova) amp and motley collection of Boss pedals to lay the writing foundation for the first new track. <\/span>More news to follow.<\/p>\n
