wow Dia I never would have known...Whats your favorite? I love Kabuki by David Mack and anything by Neil Gaiman. I have been longing to do one of my own, twisting and bending storylines and images in my head for the last 2 years now (Smile). You probably already know about "Sequential Tart" the graphic novel site for hip chicks like us but if not check it out.

I'm not hip...I'm a cruiser of the Internet, and I pick up things here and there that seem interesting, and I share what seems appropriate here (some hits, some misses). As soon as I discovered Poser, I had this nudge of an idea that it would be fun to do a graphic novel but my muse has taken a hike so I am left to admire what other people are doing. At least you have some ideas. I wouldn't know where to start...I think I don't have the artistic ability to sustain a story in graphics over the length of a novel (I'm not worried about the words...that I have covered). The graphic novel is alive and well, and even libraries are having to give space to them...this is quite a change in philosophy because many librarians haven't considered comics and/or graphic novels to be either art or literature, when, in fact, I think they can be both.

VERY interesting site. Seems to be quite a few comix fans here, I'd love to hear your opinions on the best online format for comix - as I think comix have to go online to survive. Fewer and fewer people are buying the paper version, it seems. Web comix may have a niche, at least until movies can be d/l'ed in reasonable quality at tolerable d/l times. But web comix seems to be unsure as to how comix should look on-screen. Seems to be three formats : - "Classic" - complete page, portrait format, click for next page - "New format" - same as Classic, but landscape format - "Dynamic" - Scrolling a strip of images of same height or width "Dumb" doesn't really seem to be fit for the screen, "New format" still limits you to one page before the viewer's immersion in the reading is broken by the necessity of clicking for the next. "Dynamic" could (like movies) keep the viewer there for the duration of at least a section or chapter. Which format is most likely to succeed - or are there other, better ways? Any comments appreciated.
