In November of 2001, Killroy and Tina made its online debut with little fanfare, acclaim, or talent. In a time when the word “hiatus”
was a webcomic’s silent death, Killroy and Tina (KnT for short) kept plugging away for whatever reason. Two life-sucking years and
almost 200 full-color pages later, KnT has spun off Keenspace not only to its own domain, but also to the Modern Tales sister site Graphic Smash, various Modern Tales syndications, and possibly a few unauthorized Comic Reaper thefts. It is viewed in numerous countries throughout the globe, and has been published in, at very least, one language. Continue Reading

Prophecy Magazine announced itself as “dedicated exclusively to comic content from independent and alternative artists.”

Available today, Girl Spy is the new Scary Go Round book by John Allison. It’s all new material, laboured over with a similar level of intensity to that employed by the builders of the Brooklyn Bridge. For more on the book, click here! Continue Reading
