Back in action!
Well, we’ve left Charles and Eddie standing in back of the sheriff’s office long enough, eh?
I’ve been distracted by the Doc Monster run on Zuda comics, which was fantastic in all kinds of ways, but it’s nice to return to my “home” comic. Having said that, some things are going to change.
Mostly, that change will be about quality. I know regular updates are important, but I found that pushing to squeeze every hour into the comic that I could was making me pretty miserable, and the quality of the comic was suffering.
No more.
From now on, I’m not putting out a page until I’m satisfied with it. I’ve got Anthony Schiavino looking over every step, offering suggestions and checking my thoughts. He kindly suggested all of the textboxes you see in this panel, and I think he did a swell job. Thanks, Anthony!
Also, the 1st book of the Vigilante Crypt is getting ready to go to print! When it does, I’ll probably pull book one down from the site and post links to Indyplanet, where you can buy it. I’m trying to keep the price as low as possible, so that everyone who wants one can have one to hold.
For those of you who loved seeing Doc Monster, fear not! I have plans for him as well, and I won’t leave him in limbo forever! Heck, Doc and GZ may meet up some day…)
I’m getting ready to launch a new project (yes, I know. I don’t have time.) that I’m pretty excited about. It’s a graphic adaptation of James Michael Rymer’s 1845 serial story, “Varney the Vampire, or the Feast of Blood”. I plan on reading a chapter at a time…not reading ahead, then adapting what I’ve read into a graphic form, one week at a time. For those who aren’t familiar with it, Rymer’s “penny dreadful” was originally published one chapter at a time (and sold for a penny), so I think that a weekly webcomic would fit the format wonderfully. Rymer also wrote “Sweeney Todd”, so I have no idea what to expect. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope you are too!
So, let’s see what ghosts Eddie can conjure up in that morgue, and what the good professor has to say about his death, and his murderer….
Enjoy,
Dave
Great to see Ghost Zero back up running Dave. I have really been hanging out for the completion of this story. Also can’t wait to get my hands on the 1st book of Vigilante Crypt.
Are you still having short stories published by moonstone?
Thanks, Luke! It’s good to be back in the saddle again! The first VC book should be out before Christmas..keep your fingers crossed, the wheels of print move slowly…)
At this point, I’m not concentrating on shorts…I’d like to get the VC story finished up. When it’s done, I’ll decide what to do from there.
Happy Holidays!

Dave, you’re a man of talent. Don’t falter in this pursuit of Pulp immortality, because no matter what happens the ideas and concepts are distinctly yours. Where you are particularly fortunate is in having at least two characters worth their Pulp weight. Sooner or later, talent is always recognized.
Having said that, I’d love to ride your coattails like a magic carpet and write me some Ghost Zero!!!
Thank you, Chad! Comments like yours really make me glad to have discovered webcomics…and all of the wonderful people I’ve come into contact with because of it! I’ve read the (nearly finished) script for Anthony Schiavino’s Ghost Zero/Doc Monster one-shot, and it’s awesome. I never thought about letting other people write stories for my characters before..but Anthony’s story was so great, I’m open to the idea! Who knows what the future holds?)
