News, Notes & Nonsense

News:

Its Friday, so expect chapter 2 of "Calling London!" the World War II action tale starring the Golden Age Leaf, Walter MacSorly to be up tonite. Stuart Berryhill is turning in fabulous pages and they are being framed with tremendous lettering by T. Warren Montgomery.

I have received the first two pages for the Dune, Master Spy! web comic from Joe Badon. Dune and his trouble seeking nephew are pitted against a tyrannical Nazi soldier, the Golden Age character Iron Jaw. Red Leaf Comics is bringing a 1940's public domain villain to life as an agent of the Third Reich! Iron Jaw has evil plans to awaken a cruel Pharaoh murdered by his own people as they tried to end his diabolical reign across Egypt thousands of years ago. If Iron Jaw succeeds, the war will with certainty turn in Hitler's favor!!!

Antonio Lamas is cranking out more NorthForce pages. Canada's true heroes are deep in a mystery of why an entire population from a Northern Alberta mining village has disappeared. Action, drama, mystery and blooooodddddd...... NorthForce: Village of the Dead web comic.

Issue number one of The Leaf with all four covers is only a few short weeks away. It has been at the printer for a little bit and we are anxiously awaiting its arrival. Issue number two is on schedule as ALL the interior art is complete!
