www.rokcomics.com/full_player.php?comicid=6971393848

Art and story by ComicSpace member Rodrigo Diaz Ricci (www.comicspace.com/rdricci/), who was born in Valparaíso, Chile in 1971 but later adopted Italian nationality.

A Graphic designer, after working in cartoons, publishing fanzines and comics he moved to Europe where he published covers for the Greek newspaper Eleftherotypia in Athens and for the Horror and Forbidden Archaeology magazines produced by the publishing house Mondo Ignoto owned by Dario Argento and Luigi Cozzi.

This year, he has published two stories (which he has both written and drawn) in the Italian Comic Book El Italiano (The Italian), based on the horror film Currículum by Patricio Valladares. It is currently being published by Nicola Pesce Editore.

he's working on several other projects and one of these is Ligeia.

"Ligeia is about a Vampire and her cat, Edgar," Rodrigo explains. "They're evil beings who use human beings to satisfy their purposes. The first series is centred in Transylvania and is set during World War II when the Nazis' Paranormal Office sends some men after Ligeia the vampire and a faboulous treasure."

ROK Comics is a tool to create comics for mobile format, although the creator tool can also be used to create strips in a flash player that displays them one frame at a time which work very well for many blogger and Myspace layouts, as it takes up less space!

Pro creators earn a revenue share on downloads and page views and some of the published strips are being ioptioned for translation for ROK's Chinese comics service, which began operation late last year. More info at www.rokcomics.com
