Comic Updates

The comics are progressing well. Martin Hanford has sent me quite a few new character sketches and some pencilled pages.
So far, we're working on a strip featuring Zurra, Hound of the Z'xulth, a story featuring Bright-Anya Ophidia, commander of the Draconis Albionensis, and a tale involving the vampyre-hunting exploits of Joachim Blokk, to name but three.
The comics are being created in a variety of sizes and formats. Some are in a mini-strip format similar to the serialized comics you'd see in a newspaper, some are longer four or five page stories, and some are more akin to a standard comic book size.

Here are a few preview elements of the various stories.
