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?
All info below is circa-early 2006 (the links do work for now but will go away sometime this summer):
Pete Abrams
Abrams is working on a new book collection of Sluggy expected to be available by the end of the year.
Ben Adams
The first episode of Misfit's Journey, “Mistaken Identityâ€, is 28 pages long and now appears in its entirety at www.misfitsjourney.com. In order to help make a name for himself, Adams has made the first episode completely free.

I am kind of hoping this will motivate some work at comixpedia.org :)
It was also just interested to me to see who exactly was on this list - 18 months removed you remember some names and forget others which is just sort of interesting I guess...
