Fresh off the Press

I finally got around to buying some hard copies of all 7 issues of A Question of Promise from my Lulu store... and they look great! There's a nice feeling to be had when you can see and touch your work - writers will know what I mean. The print quality and binding is good, so I'm happy (except for the sad weakness of the Australian dollar which meant the comics cost 35% more than they should).

Anyway, please buy an issue or two and support a starving artist! :)

Buy My Stuff at Lulu!

Purchase comic from Phase Two Comics ($AU2.50)


Original Post:

A couple of years ago, I self-published a black and white comic book entitled A Question of Promise. It's a comedy about a guy trying to impress a girl, while not trying to upset his housemate, who happens to be a sentient pool of water.

Anyway, the fine folks at Phase Two Comics have agreed to sell it on their site!

So don't just stand there - Buy my comic here!
