Header:	CBR: POO 2: MacPherson talks "Edgar Allan Poo" Sequel
Bulletin:	With 2007’s “The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo,” Dwight MacPherson saw his and Thomas Boatwright’s popular webcomic collected by Shadowline and Image Comics and published to great critical and popular acclaim, with several award nominations including the Harveys and Britain’s Eagle. This bodes well for the continuing adventures of Poo, and with the release of “The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo: Book 2” this August, MacPherson brings his diminutive hero to new territory with a new artist, Avery Butterworth. Dwight MacPherson and Butterworth sat down with CBR News to talk about the past, present and possible future of the embodiment of an unquiet mind. The story of Edgar Allan Poo is rooted in historical fact in that it begins with the death of Edgar Allan Poe’s wife, Virginia, in 1847. From there, however, the concept ventures into the fantastic. “Poe is haunted by his wife who blames him for her death,” said MacPherson, “so he prays that he will never dream again. God answers by separating his imagination from him--in the form of Edgar Allan Poo.” Read the rest of the interview here: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17183
