Captain Blood and the Peril of Indie Comics
Working on promoting Captain Blood, a novel adaptation I wrote for SLG, we were faced with the now-familiar quandry of how to encourage individual retailers to order the book rather than hoping to see it on shelves. Rather than get into the whole issue here, I refer you to the comic below -- rewritten and relettered pages from the original Captain Blood #1 -- that illustrate the whole situation in brilliant 1700s action!
Art by Mike Shoyket, lettering by David Hedgecock.

Please do order Captain Blood -- and other indie books! Your small-press comics publisher, and the entire future of the medium, is counting on you! Thanks!
