The greatest talent in the history of the comic book medium joins Helio#5 - closing out the contributor list for the issue is the nonpareil Alan Moore.

A table of contents will be posted a bit later but I wanted to drop the contributor list for Heliotrope#5. New format for us that will be theme specific. My plan was for Heliotrope to morph into a non-fiction venue and pursue other modes of publishing fiction, but we lucked out into at least (I say at least because I'm vague like that) one piece of fiction for the Fall issue.


...and If you are coming from The Bodhisattva you must not know your fiction! Here are the ladies and gentlemen who were kind enough to agree to grace our forthcoming pages:


K.J. Bishop
Hal Duncan
Neil Gaiman
Rhys Hughes
Paul S. Kemp
Chris Roberson
Bryan Talbot
Catherynne M. Valente
Jeff VanderMeer


We are leading off with a Bishop and have an Evil Monkey on the hill. We just may be in this for the long haul.
