Happy Birthday to Us
Posted by Vito Delsante on Tuesday, August 7 2007 at 9:00 am
It was one year ago yesterday that we all started this grand collaborative experiment in online comics. We’ve had some growing pains along the way, a lot of stops and starts, comings and goings… but also a lot of success.
Over the past year, the majority of our members have seen their work — ChemSet or otherwise — published in anthologies like NEGATIVE BURN (Chris Arrant, Jim Dougan with Eric Kim & Hyeondo Park and Elizabeth Genco with Sami Makkonen), the SLG Anthology: TOO STUPID TO QUIT, TOO MEAN TO DIE (Neil Kleid with Dan Warner), Image Comics’ 24SEVEN 2 anthology (Chris Arrant with Tom Williams) and the new Villard anthology series POSTCARDS: TRUE STORIES THAT NEVER HAPPENED (Neil Kleid). In the coming year, expect even bigger announcements.
By and large, we’ve been very successful, which can be both a blessing and a curse. As a result, several stories, STUCK and TODT HILL, are on indefinite hiatus, and some of our other stories are awaiting new artists.
But you know us: the chemistry between collaborators is irresistible, and starting in the fall, fresh new creators and wild new stories will be joining the fold here at the ChemSet.
- Andrew Foley, creator of PARTING WAYS and DONE TO DEATH, is bringing his new serial, AS REAL AS MONSTERS, to our lineup very soon;
- Stacey Garratt, a talented filmmaker and up-and-coming comic writer, will be starting a new project on the ChemSet in the coming months;
- Dwight MacPherson’s popular SURREAL ADVENTURES OF EDGAR ALLEN POO joins us starting next month;
- Vito Delsante will be unveiling THE DOBERMAN, a harrowing World War II-era adventure strip;
- Steven Goldman will be premiering new STYX TAXI stories as well as other new work;
- More of Elizabeth Genco’s SCHEHERAZADE, including the continuing Tattered Coat;
- And a few more creators we can’t announce just yet
We hope you’ll continue checking us out throughout our second year. Thanks for all of your support.
