I hate coming up with witty thread titles..or even titles that make sense - hence the complete familiar to achieve both above.
Ive been doing this strip set firmly in the comics world for about 5-6 weeks now and it all started with me trying to work out a strip to pitch to ifanboy. I couldnt come up with anything that i thought the guys would like that i would want to draw daily for an extended period of time and after 3 or 4 series attempts i abandoned it and just decided on something i wanted to do.
After getting kind permission from Josh (and the guys?) I'm posting to try to get some attention to OOP - or Out Of Print.
The premise of this strip is essentially a support group for public domain superheroes (as kids though - think Peanuts/Calvin and Hobbes) - but thats really just the background for what i hope to be a strip that predominantly comments on the comics industry. Sure im going to have wacky hijinx and the like and i'll riff on storylines as well(eg - the kids get a working ring from the promotional rings that DC are sending out). I'm usinng public domain characters like Black Terror, Cat-man, Green lama, etc..
I'm posting it 6 days a week and the first few weeks werent that hot but i'm hitting my stride now..
I'll post the two strips relating to the recent DC and Marvel news..
