Hi all - I know I don't come around these parts much any more, and, what with the move overseas, the youngster becoming more mobile and the job that eats hours, I don't get much of any time to do much anything anyways.
One thing that I have been doing though, during those quiet moments when either Mrs The Ball, baby Ball or my boss are sleeping, is write a comic book series. A four issue, black and white horror series - drawn by J.C. Grande - called Omnitarium.
Issue one just went on sale here - Indy Planet and I'm quite proud, chuffed and delighted with the result.
So there you go...
Hope you are all well! BtB

I'm slightly confused by that website - it mentions that it's 'all digital' but also says it's 'print on demand'. So er... which is it? $3.50 seems very cheap for PoD.

BM - the PoD service is also developing a distribution system called ComicsMonkey ComicsMonkey - which also holds the book - I think it tries to match the other comic distribution model of heavy discounts to get books into stores.
The service is a Print on Demand one, I think the digital tag is to do with the ftp and print process - which is misleading. I'm in contact with true digital distributors (comiXology, which uses a reader app on i-products being a big one at the moment) which all seem to do a deal of offering digital downloads of books at $0.99. $3.50 is pretty good, though.

yeah, yeah - I know - terribly uncouth to jump into a party and start prattling on about ones self - but, hey ho, I'm on a different time zone, so there....
Issue two is nearly completed - here's a preview of the cover -
Been having fun trying to promote the book and get it out for reviews - so far, so good. I've had about 5 or so online reviews at some well known comic book websites.
Anyway, as you all were...
