The official start of the “new” short story is tomorrow, but I didn’t want to have just the cover as the post for the week. So you get the cover today and the first page of the story goes up tomorrow, on the usual update day.
This issue originally appeared in comic shops in July, 1999, and featured the Galaxion story which I’ll be posting over the next couple of months on one side, plus an Amy Unbounded story by Rachel Hartman on the other. I believe this was my very first attempt to colour something in Photoshop. And afterwards I didn’t use Photoshop again for 8 years and by then I’d forgotten everything and had to fight my way through it all over again.
If you were a fan of either Amy Unbounded or the Return of the Mad Bun webcomic and you’re wondering what she’s up to now, check out her very entertaining blog!
If it wasn’t for this, I’d still have thought those contact team uniforms were mostly black, due to the way they show in the black-and-white!
I feel I should point out that all but one of the links in your commentary appear to be out of date.
