I guess this is pretty much self explanatory, right? Good. I'm going the heck to bed.

I, however, am one of those perhaps annoying readers who sometimes enjoy intros/afterwords more than the stories, although this has been the case mainly with Harlan Ellison, who often steals his own thunder with one of his rip-snorting true-life anecdotes: 'I wrote this story the day after facing down three machete-wielding pachucos in a back alley...'
I was wondering the same thing. While I can't say that I enjoy afterwords more then the story, I love hearing where the ideas came from. If readers weren't interested in reading about how ideas present themselves or the creative process, there wouldn't be nearly as much traffic to writer's blogs!
Me, too.
I had the immensely beautiful hardcover (why can't more comics come out in Marvel's slightly oversized format?). And at the end of the story, Neil has an afterword, and I learned, among other things, that the story was a partial reaction to 9/11. And that added a layer to the story.
So count me in for afterwords.
