THE JOURNEY OF JERRY I’ve mentioned it before, but the origin of Jerry is currently in production. I know it’s something you guys have been anticipating ever since it was revealed that Jerry is both Dr. Klein and the Third Man. I do think the wait will be worth it. The artist working on it, [...]

CHARACTER ACTING Good comics feature good character acting. I believe this.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the person scheduled to do the Chapter 11 Recap was unable to complete the project. However, tomorrow the Recaps will wrap up in fine style with Chapter 12, “Jackpot!” Also unfortunate: I’m battling a bad case of food poisoning and that’s why I haven’t been very present on the site in the past [...]

Our 5th Anniversary Celebration concludes today with this stellar “recap” of Chapter 12, “Jackpot!” from Steve VanDyken. Steve had the unenviable task of recapping a chapter that isn’t even finished yet, but his take on how it could end is wonderfully dark and cynical–and all the funnier for it. You’ll see how close he gets [...]

Annnnnd… WE’RE BACK! Thanks to everyone who celebrated the 5th Anniversary with us. It was great fun seeing everyone’s takes on the different chapters. Plus, Marc got a nice little break. He’s now rested and relaxed and kicking serious butt. I’d put him up against a giant killer robot any day of the week! Marc [...]

Marc really blew me away with this one. I’m not sure I can quite say what it is that’s so impressive. I think it’s the camera angles and the way it paces the whole strip beautifully. I think choosing your angle is VITALLY important to comicking, but so few artists can do it well. I [...]

This is a good example of how profitable collaboration can be. As scripted, this was going to be one shot of Spy Gal emerging from the casino to see the panorama above. One panel. Marc came back at me with a sketch showing Spy Gal removing bobby pins from her hair and then an inset [...]

That power dampener has been on Spy Gal’s arm for sooooo long, that some of you probably think it’s part of her outfit (I know some of you do–the fan art proves it!). Can’t remember why she had it on in the first place? Click on back to SF 11 (!) to see how it [...]

Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving (those of us in the U.S.)! This page, in case you haven’t guessed, is fairly significant. Remember, this story was drawn years ago (for print, this is its first time in its entirety on the web), way before the big Third Man reveal. Artist Lucas Turnbloom had no idea [...]

Big thanks to Marc for the Division Sword. I had that panel as silent and swordless, but Marc snuck the sword in earlier in the chapter (unbeknownst to me) and brought it back here to great effect. He even created an elaborate back story for The Sacred Steel of the Ancient Warrior Accountants and it’s [...]

Marc just tears it up in these action sequences. I know they tax him, but it never shows in the work. Remember the couple from Texas?

This one was not scripted to be double-sized. That was something Marc brought to the table and I think the moment here is served well by it. Additional kudos to Marc for pulling this strip out on time even after his Wacom tablet went kaput on him. Perfect excuse to not keep the schedule, but [...]
