Courtly Manners now free

Monday, 29. May 2006, 19:18:41

, , , ...

As of today, Courtly Manners and Courtly Manners 2: The Unicorn Race are free for everyone to read. These were the last of the comics I'd originally created for Modern Tales that were still behind a subscription wall, so this represents my farewell to subscriptions as a business model.

The comics themselves are light romps; Geir Strøm, who wrote the second story, sees them as the comics equivalent of summer popcorn movies, which works for me. See Kel and Krakatoa cause maximal embarrassment to themselves and others in the genteel setting of the Witch Queen's castle, and see the Queen not be amused!

The Eye of the Underworld

Thursday, 6. October 2005, 15:30:20

, ,

The Eye of the Underworld has started. This, the second story in the Chronicles of the Witch Queen series, has been published online elsewhere, but for this rerun it has been remastered.

The Eye of the Underworld was conceived in a meeting between myself and writer Geir Strøm in Ranheim, Norway in 1996. Specifically, it was conceived in a meeting I would later remember nothing of. In Eye, the alchemist Ioannes is sent on a mission to the Arab subcontinent to retrieve a magical artefact from the possession of the Caliph. But for all his ability as a necromancer and maker of homunculi, Ioannes is no James Bond. And when a young, sensibly-dressed thief starts interfering with his work, he's in trouble.

The Eye of the Underworld will update on weekdays, running for one month.

  • Doe Maar, July 12, 2008

But did they have anything to add t ...
