Things appear out of order, as memory dictates. Let me backtrack to lunch with the Comics Area folks before I jump back to Saturday. The lunch is always equal parts fun and irritation, as all events involving large groups are. The Hatfields — after many trials — arrived in time for lunch, but ended up…

Another Plug!
Christopher over at What is Witchcraft?, a terrific blog on current as well as historical charges of witchcraft (like this one on a “demon headmaster”), has a nice post up on Jane Quiet with the cover.

Lots of scripts contain bonus information, like the script for Straight to Hell (one of my…
Proofs
Here’s the final cover for Jane Quiet. Elena got the proofs and inevitably, we noticed a few things that we need to change. Argh — editing is not my strength. Gene, of course, has a careful eye and spotted a few things that could be improved. The process of publishing is a lot of hurry…

Elena is the drawing machine!
Jane Quiet Cover — Mach 2
Here’s Elena‘s second go-round on the JQ cover. What do you all think? I’ve already suggested shortening the subtitle, LOL.
Jane Quiet Cover
Elena‘s put up her first go at the cover of Jane Quiet. She wants your feedback — is it gruesome enough?! What do you think? This is going to be our chief selling point to grab eyeballs — does it work?
