NEW STORIES. UNSEEN PHOTOS. SHINY.

Firefly is the Emmy Award-winning “sci fi-western” TV show from inimitable cult writer/director Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Dollhouse. Since its short-lived appearance on TV in 2002, the show has sold over a half a million copies on DVD, spawned the hit movie Serenity, and most remarkably, inspired a loyal fan following — the Browncoats — whose numbers continue to grow.

FIREFLY: STILL FLYING [Titan Books, May 2010, $19.95/£16.99] is a brand new celebration of all aspects of the show. Featuring memories from the cast and crew, a tribute to the Browncoats, and even a feature on Nathan Fillion’s legendary practical jokes, Still Flying is illustrated throughout with a wealth of rare and previously unpublished images, including storyboards, production design art and candid behind-the-scenes photos – including an on-set shot of the last ever scene filmed for Firefly.

But that’s not all. Titan has also done the impossible to present fans with EXCLUSIVE NEW FIREFLY FICTION BY WRITERS OF THE ORIGINAL TV EPISODES!

Editor Adam Newell says, “rumours have been swirling about these for a while now, and I’m delighted to be able to confirm that we have wonderful stories from JANE ESPENSON, BRETT MATTHEWS and JOSE MOLINA, plus an illustrated contribution from BEN EDLUND called ‘Fun with Dick and Jayne’, which is just as crazy as it sounds!” --- Scroll to the end for more info on the stories and authors

SHINYGOODGUY

Haken, you are as shiny as ever dude. Thanks for this great bit of news on our beloved Firefly. Soon as it comes out, I'm there.

This is great also because book sales, I imagine, will hopefully be closely scrutinized by the Powers That Be which, in turn, will translate to Serenity 2 or a mini-series.

This is good news indeed.

Once again Haken, I bow down to your shinyness!

SERENITY RIDDLE: Awww yes... the office dancing.

We truly are not alone. At least the fandom continues to grow. That cannot be a bad thing.

Wonder if these on set prank stories include something I heard from Two about Nathan Fillion and camera phones being a dangerous combination, and Morena's retaliation? In any case, looking forward to this, sure to have hilarity and plot bunnies in bounds.

I'm just disappointed they pushed the publish date back to June instead of April. Summer!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Oh, I'll definitely be picking up my copy, if I have to pull a bank job to do it! Or a train job.
