Interviews with Sara Turner and Jerzy Drozd

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on September 14, 2010 - 15:19

I got a chance to do short interviews with Sara Turner and Jerzy Drowd at SPX this past weekend.  

Sara was there to promote her new comic The Ghosts of Pineville.  They also had a print collection of The Replacements, a webcomic that originally ran on GraphicSmash.com that Sara worked on with Jerzy.  Jerzy and Sara put out a lot of their work under their Make Like A Tree banner where you can also find out more about what they're working on.

Jerzy was there to promote a new minicomic, Tiny Hamiltons, that he did with his wife Anne.  He also let slip that he's already written another volume of his webcomic The Front although it sounds like it won't be until next year at the earliest that we'll see it on the web.

Welcome to October! A big thanks to Spike, creator of Templar, Arizona, for creating this month's cover art. This past weekend we posted the rest of the September issue: interviews with Gisele Lagace and Shayna Marchese; a feature by Grant Thomas examining the integration of text and images with an interesting look at different ways to use speech bubbles; and Michael Payne looks at some great print comics that have moved to embrace the web. More interesting articles are on their way in October...

Updates On Entries in the Ill-Fated Webcomic Directory Project?

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on July 24, 2007 - 14:31

I built a "library" of webcomics and creators back in the fall of 2005 which I put into beta before realizing it was too much editorial work to deal with and the same information could be better provided through the community edited webcomic wiki - COMIXPEDIA.

Nevertheless looking back on the assortment of names collected (some from me, some sent in from you) I wonder if anyone has any significant updates on these creators 18 months later. Maybe we should interview some of them?

Webcomics - The Next Generation

Submitted by Iain Hamp on July 15, 2006 - 00:18

As I just turned 32 in March, I think it is safe to say that I am no longer "a kid". Nor do I have children of my own yet. So, I haven't really paid much attention to whether a comic on the web was kid friendly or not. But now that I have a two year old nephew, I find myself wondering what websites to take him to when he gets a bit older that are appropriate, but will get him excited about webcomics (get 'em in when they're young).

The Pulse Discovers Webcomics!

Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration, but between Joey Manley's latest Webhead column and a new feature called INTRO TO WEBCOMICS, they at least have some regular non-comic book coverage wedged into the site.  The first Intro column is by Sara Turner wherein she writes a bit about her webcomic File 49.
