Sample Chapter from, Thieves & Kings, Volume 3, "The Blue Book" Thieves & Kings is not a webcomic. It is an all-ages fantasy/adventure graphic novel series which I've been working on since 1994. It is nearly done; I hope to wrap up the story in the 7th volume, (currently in production). The chapter featured here offers a good example of what it's like to read Thieves & Kings. --It's a peppy sequence, and it contains both regular comic pages, and some text pages. It doesn't show much of the title character, (Rubel) and none of the Shadow Lady, but Heath and Varkias carry the show quite nicely. I hope you enjoy this sample of my work!        The Walking Mage. . . The Walking Mage is a complete story. Originally it was done in black & white, (which you can check out here, if you like). I wanted to experiment with color and so began by using a computer to color the Walking Mage for its print release. After a few panels I decided that it would be a lot more fun to paint it by hand, and so switched to water-color around episode six. The story itself is quite a good little yarn; funny and pointed in many places, as political satire ought to be. I was actually quite surprised to learn this! I found myself laughing out loud in several places. --I don't know why this story in particular was so hard for me to accept, but it was. I avoided reading it for several years after it first went to press. The ending is rather abrupt, but it was a serial strip, after all. So anyway, after having let this web-comic languish in the digital attic, I've decided to pull it out and post it again for all the world in its full-color glory. This is the first time the Walking Mage has been available in full color on the web. I hope you enjoy the adventures of Quinton and Varkias. Cheers!        News From the Studio. . . Publishing Jenny...   Monday, February 16, 2015 So, I have a question for everyone... I've got a whole slew of Jenny Mysterious pages and I've been trying to work out how best to release them. I'm trying to come to grips with the various methods of doing this; we live in the digital age now, and while I do intend to produce a graphic novel with Jenny's material, I'm looking at other ways to publish. I've made Stardrop a free webcomic, and that's been fine because each episode earns $50 when it runs in the local paper. Also, a few of you have surprised me by using the tip jar (Thank-you, btw!), and I'll sell a few GN's here and there. So that model works fairly well to keep the project running. But with Jenny Mysterious, I was looking at www.patreon.com The idea is that people would become patrons, kind of like Kickstarter, but in a much smaller bites and in an easier to manage way. Every time I put up a page or a chapter or whatever, patrons would automatically contribute a small amount, a dollar or two. That way, as soon as I complete a section of the story, it would pay for itself. So a few questions... Is this a good idea for you? Would you be interested in this method? How many pages at a time should I release and how much is a reasonable amount to ask for? Should pages be available to everybody or just to patrons? If enough people sign on board, this could be a good reason to set aside a few days every week for production as opposed to what I'm doing now, (drawing when the mood strikes.) Please use the I Box Facebook thread to let me know your thoughts. (I'll leave it as the top post for a while.) Cheers!
