After a successful crowdfunding campaign, Timing/Luck—a visual journey through comic books, Hollywood, and sights across the world —will be available in comic book shops and bookstores for the first time
Iconic creator and writer Gerry Duggan (X-Men, Dead Eyes) is bringing his popular photography book Timing/Luck to comic book shops and bookstores for the first time since he launched a limited edition of the title with a successful Kickstarter campaign. Containing hundreds of photos taken over two decades in writing rooms, green rooms, awards shows, and on city streets around the world, each photo tells a story, and collectively the book tells Duggan’s. The Image Comics trade paperback collection of Duggan’s photography will hit shelves this November.
With the majority shot on Leica digital 28mm and Fuji X100 35mm, the photos of Timing/Luck capture a mash-up of dark streets, bright minds and green rooms featuring portraits and candid shots of famous comic book creators, comedians, writers, actors, musicians, and filmmakers. Some of the subjects include: Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Stan Lee, Mark Hamill, Todd McFarlane, Robert Kirkman, Eric Stephenson, Marc Silvestri, James Tynion IV, Brian Posehn, Kevin Feige, Vita Ayala, Jason Aaron, Rick Remender, Matt Fraction, Chip Zdarsky, Jeff Lemire, Tini Howard, Skottie Young, John McCrea, Jock, Leah Williams, Brian K. Vaughn, Christopher Priest, Charles Soule, G. Willow Wilson, Brian Azzarello, and Declan Shalvey, amongst many others.
“Timing/Luck is a visual autobiography of my time in Los Angeles as the worlds of comics and Hollywood began to overlap,” said Duggan. “It's been my privilege to work with so many talented artists and travel the world in support of the work. After the successful crowdfunding effort on the limited edition, I'm proud to publish the softcover at Image Comics, my longtime home for creator-owned collaborations.”
The trade paperback edition of Timing/Luck, featuring a cover with Duggan’s photography (ISBN: 979-8368809281, Lunar Code 0924IM314) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, November 6 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 19.
