THE GRAVE: ISSUE 1, PART 1



Well, as promised, here is the finished (subject to later revisions of course) produkt of Issue 1, Part 1, of the series I've been working on for almost 2 years, The Grave. This never would have even gotten this far were it not for the timely arrival of Michael Bramley ([info]explodingsuns), who decided he liked this so much he wanted to draw it, after I'd already pretty much binned it after 3 previous artists douched out on me.

I realize this is probably rough around the edges, both writing-wise and artistically, so if nothing else, please consider this a "pilot" episode.

Issue 1 Part 2, and any subsequent episodes, will be posted when ready.

And now...

Wow. You gonna have a website for this? Coz it deserves as much exposure as you can get for it.

Badass.

Right now it's a guerilla campaign. Posting links where I can, I've also put this on my ComicSpace page and posted it to Mark Millar's message board, that has a Creative section (which is actually how Michael found me). Michael's also making some rounds as well.
