RASL #13 Update 2

Filed under: News — Jeff @ 12:28 pm

Good new! Re-writes for the second half of RASL #13 are completed. Thanks to everyone for all the words of support, it was greatly appreciated and helpful over a long weekend. So, now I have to pencil and ink the pages – - which should take a couple of weeks.

A quick post-script; I read on someone’s website that they were concerned that major re-writes were underway this close to the end, butthese rewrites had nothing to do with the overall story.  My crew pointed out that things were going a little too easily for our hero, but believe me, that’s been rectified. Our art thief is back up to his neck in trouble – - just the way way it should be!

Thanks again for understanding, and I’ll post again when I have an estimate of the ship date!

RASL #13 Update

Filed under: News — Jeff @ 11:41 am

I can’t believe it! I’m back out at the schoolhouse reworking the script for RASL #13. It was supposed to go to the printer this week, but after showing the book to Vijaya and the gang at Cartoon Books, we all decided the last ten pages needed a rewrite.  It happens sometimes, just not this close to the deadline. For retailers, this may mean an order readjustment (I hope not!); for everyone else, it will mean a delay of a couple of weeks.  Sorry about this, and thanks for understanding – - making every issue of RASL as good as it can be is crucial to me – - especially this close to the climax.

On the plus side: It’s an intense and crazy issue – - it’ll be worth it!
