As previously mentioned, I attended the World Horror Convention here in Austin, where I moderated a panel with William F. Nolan. I cheekily had him sign some books while I was on the panel (all in good fun), but the real treat was grabbing several more signatures during the mass signing, as he likes to do drawings when signing. Here’s an example (or at least as much as would fit on the scanner) of the art he put on the blank page of “The Final Stone,” his story in Dennis Etchison’s Landmark Cutting Edge horror anthology:

Thanks Bill!

I, too, have enjoyed Mr. Nolan’s doodles – he was a Hallmark illustrator at one time, did you know? Having worked on two books with “Bill”, published by Rocket Ride Books, I’ve been priviliged to receive letters written in his own strong hand, many of which showcase such whimsical flourishes – keepers, all! Thanks for sharing the awesome Dracula cartoon.
Great read and info.
