So, there’s this web site over at http://steven.davidmcrampton.com/ that used to have its own domain. When the Steven project started up, I was intending on creating an entire independent comics publishing company. Well, when the project sputtered, and came close to dying, that didn’t happen. It’s nice, though, when I’m proven right about there being a void to fill for that sort of thing, locally. It’s even better when I’m proven right with -quality- art and writing.
Enter Comics Obscura. Just take a few minutes to browse.
Lansing-based. Amazing artwork. Quality writing. Yes, I have all three issues. And yes, I’m at least going to be picking up the Tao of Snarky when it gets out there as its own issue.
Did I mention that it’s in Lansing? Michigan? As in, where I live?
I’m incredibly happy and excited for these guys, and only half because I have my own nefarious plans for them. In unrelated news, I’ve removed all of the publication company logos and text from the Steven site… the one with the URL up top. I updated the bios a bit, removed defunct email addresses, and posted a nice ranty rant on the front page. I’ve linked to the Steven fiction that’s being posted up on the main site and plotted out the history of the idea on the About Us page. I even flexed my newbish muscles at graphic creation in coming up with a new logo.
Needless to say, I hate it. I’ll come up with something else soon, no doubt.
It should trouble me more, I think, that I haven’t been able to get in touch with
