Here's what it says on the back:

Ichigo Kurosaki was just a little boy when his mother passed away. One rainy day, Ichigo,whose ability to see ghosts is a blessing and a curse, tried to stop a young girl from drowning in a nearby river.

Spammers

Fri, 7 Dec 2007 19:00:30 -0600

You may have noticed the icky spam going around the forums as of late. I am doing my best to delete what appear to be automated robot posts. When you see a suspect post, do not follow any of its links, as they could direct your computer to malware, which is often a spammer's objective. Instead, send me a link to the post, either to my email crowhen at yahoo dawt com or reply to this thread or message me at this site, and I will remove the offensive material. Do not both conversing with the perpetrators, for they aren't robots then surely they enjoy the attention. I will do what I can to staunc

Interview with Mike Dubisch – Creator of Weirdling

Mike Dubisch’s resume is wide and varied. He’s worked for comic companies from Kitchen Sink, Dark Horse, to DC. He’s even done art for gaming companies, professional wrestling, and The New York State Museum.

Weirdling is Mike Dubisch’s creation, almost 15 years in the making. Below is a conversation with Mike about his creation Weirdling and art in general.

What got you started in Art and more specifically Sequential Storytelling?

My interest in drawing and art goes back to childhood, and goes hand and hand with my love of comics. Early on I was interested in Spider-man and other Marvels, and I also was exposed surprisingly early to EC horror and science fiction comics, and even the undergrounds and Heavy Metal magazine. I guess it crystallized around my early teens, when I started collecting comics seriously and also, read a biography of William Gaines and became obsessed with EC comics and Horror comics in general. But even before that, around ten years old or so, I started making up my own characters, envisioning and attempting my own comics and graphic novels, very much in the DC-Marvel universe mold- almost as soon as I became interested in the ECs I was drawing and self publishing my own horror and "Weird Science Fantasy" comics- laying the groundwork for Strange Fear books today.
