I’m trying to get up to speed with digital comics formats, so I’m putting this up as a test. Flytrap #1 is a short comics story that my wife wrote and I drew. Is it set up correctly for your readers? http://stevelieber.com/flytrap_issue01.cbz EDIT: I’ve used Zipcleaner to strip out the hidden Mac files. Here’s a new version:
It’s a great little story, and there are more in the series. If you like it you can thank us by using the paypal “donate” thingy. But mainly just tell me if I did it right.
I can’t begin to say how thrilled we are with the response we’ve been enjoying. We’ve got more books on order from Image, and they should be here next week. As soon as we get them, we’ll start signing, sketching and shipping!
In the 4chan thread, I joked about “cosplay girls in caver helmets.” I forgot that Casey McKinnon already did that in her podcast when the book first came out. Thanks, Casey!
It’s come to this. I’ve uploaded a partial archive of the 4chan bootleg and discussion thread. Read it here..) I think there’s gonna be a full archive at 4chanarchive.org, and I’ll link to that when I’ve got a URL.
Also, we’ve heard from a bunch of readers who don’t want another book in the house but still want to kick in a donation. So, here’s a paypal button. The suggested donation is $5.00, but whatever you can afford is fine.
I’ll have that those jpeg files for everyone really soon.The CBR files are up! Sorry for the delay. All this attention came as a huge surprise, and I’ve still got all my freelance commitments. It’s been crazy, but this (as Marlo Stanfield said on The Wire,) is “one of them good problems.”
Give it a read! Payment is on the honor system. The suggested donation is $5.00, more is great, but whatever you can afford is fine.
If you’d like a hard copy, the best thing you can do is order one through your local store. If you’d prefer mailorder, in the US try our friends at TFAW. In the UK try Forbidden Planet. Or just get it directly from us- signed and sketched- at the Periscope Studio Etsy store.
