Emerald City Blues

This webcomic got it's start as a 24hour comic. I was able to pencil 17 pages and ink 11 in the first 24. I decided to do my take on the Wizard of OZ and this is what came out. I hope you enjoy it.

You worked on a team book before Deity. All I can remember right now is a gold gut with a white mowhawk(?). It came with some . . . card. If you got all three versions of the book you stacked the cards and they made one image I think. Some cyberpunkish Image kind of team book.

I LOVED that book. All . . . one issue of it that came out.

RE: You Write It And I Will Draw It Contest

Nice one, Karl!

Do you have any preference for genre, or is it wide open?
