More anthology previews

Here is some more preview art from the upcoming comic anthology I'm writing. More preview art is available here. These excellent pencils were done by James Pipik for a 16-page story called "The End of all Summers". NOTE: Click the images for a full-sized version. We're finalizing some script details, and Jim is inking and lettering the pages. An example of what the semi-finished product might look like is below.

How I got published, part 6 – all that other stuff

There is a lot of stuff they don't tell you about getting a book published.
