Jesus Christ, Brad. I was just about to ask you to illustrate some comics I've been plotting in my head... loose series of 50s-style post-millenial 'alienation sci-fi horror' that I've been thinking of calling 'LA Horror'... like H.P. Lovecraft screenwritten by Warren Ellis and directed by David Byrne... but, uh, maybe I should just let you concentrate on your shit, because it is fantastic, man
( ... )
yes ... i forgot to include "Count Orlock and Son," as well as "Amoeba Go-Go," -- a two page comic that i'm still working on.
If I could send you one for free, I would -- hell, I'd like to send twenty and get them sold on the west coast ... but like i said, this is somewhat of a business venture by isaac and i ... not a get-rich-quick venture, but a venture that we would rather have pay for itself.
We're selling them for $3 each. I think that's a pretty fair price; not everyone will pay three bucks for comics, of course, but I would.
So if you have three spare dollars and a stamp and envelope, just mail it to:
B. Smith 112 Quail Run Johnson City, TN 37601
.... is it bad that i put my address on the internet? ...
.... whatever.
Anyhoo, if ya send 3 bucks, I'll have a copy hot off the press for you.
I feel real scuzzy writing "it's only three bucks" -- like a huckster or scam artist, but trying to make a living using one's talents isn't a scam, is it?
No, it's totally cool -- three bucks is entirely a fair price to pay. I'm all for supporting indie comics -- if I can spend close to four bucks on a shitty Marvel comic (and I have, /oh/, I have), I can definitely send three bucks to a friend.
Sort of both... the individual issues would be self-contained, you could pick up or put them down at your leisure. At the same time, they all transpire in the same universe, yeah... and I'd want to thread certain things through some of the stories, similarly themed stories... and a similar theme seems to be emerging already... and I figure they all take place at different points on the same timeline? A band that's the focus of one story might be mentioned an number of times in seperate issues or just seen in the background, that kind of thing.
You know, at a fashionable restaurant, maybe two characters might briefly discuss an unfortunate public incident that occurs in an earlier (or later?) issue... I don't see it going too heavily into that, though.
I'd originally envisioned an investigating team to tie it all together, or some similar character, but that's too X-Files/Planetary/John Constantine. I prefer them as seperate vignettes.
I think there'd be a lot of E.C.-style influence on it... sort of Tales from the Crypt meets

is this L.A. Horror idea a continued, prolonged story, or sort of an E.C. "Weird Tales" smaller, self-contained stories sort of thing?
Or both? Like different, seperate stories set in the same alternate reality?
Just wondering.
