One of my favorite comics series of all time, involves, at least on the periphery, the
SUPERNATURAL. As in...
VOODOO.
The first
3 books in the series were only ever done in a LIMITED
hardbound print run, and I have copies of all of them. At least
2
different people have asked me if I was interested in PUBLISHING the
books myself, and I had to explain I wasn't set up to do it financially.
However, if I find that changes at some point, you can bet the FIRST
thing I would do
is get in touch with the person who holds the Copyrights and MAKE A DEAL to equitably split any profits. In the meantime, last week I suddenly got inspired to start COLORING. Boy, am I having fun! From 1989....

When I set up detailed indexes at the
Grand Comics Database site some years ago, I noted that the
1st 4 pages appear to have been designed for a
PLAYBOY magazine-type "comics section". With that in mind, the next page appears to have been intended as the
1st page of the
2nd chapter. However, I suspect
John Blackburn changed his mind, as a
2nd chapter begins after the following
2 pages. Note how the
1st panel looks like it was designed to have a title in it.
