This started out as the super-secret project. I’ve let it stall countless times. The novel is done and out there (preview and novel are both still available here). I have no classes over the summer. I have a part-time work schedule. The brunt of my focus now lands squarely on the comic book. On Steven.

The plan is to have a different artist working on each issue. Characters will be recognizable throughout, but I’d like to showcase the talent of as many artists as I can. Also, with seven different artists working on seven different issues at the same time, I can have (in theory) the full project completed before I release the first issue. None of that pesky lateness that small comic publishers have become known for.

This is what I’ve got up on the web site:

Dark Eternity Publications is now accepting artist’s submissions for our primary comic line: Steven. If selected to work on the comic, you will be paid, provided the issue that you work on makes a profit. This is a serious (and yet friendly – heh) venture, and deadlines will be involved. Please do not submit if you can’t complete projects within reasonable time frames.

Please send all submissions to dave at darketernity dot net.

This is the email that went out to the current artists, in an effort to kick all of us in the butt:

Hey, all. I’ve got the defibrillator paddles out, and I’m doing this once again.

The Steven Comic Book will happen. Now that the novel has been released, and signings are getting scheduled, I’m going to focus on my next project. And that is Steven. There are some things that I will need from all of you, and there are some things that I will want from you.

If bowing out is the way to go for you, please, just let me know, and unsubscribe from the Yahoo! Group. We’ll still be friends, I promise. Heh.

If you’re interested, or know someone who would be interested, please make contact. I’m itching to get this moving again.
