Fantasy Theater

This is fun: Someone cooked up statistics for Glorianna for the "Mutants & Masterminds" game. I don't know enough about that system to judge the accuracy, but it's a kick that someone liked the strip enough to go to the trouble:

It was pointed out to me that the latest GLORIANNA update was page #500. So there's a thing. Huh.

I added a fan art section to the GLORIANNA site, including a great new piece by Joe Kleinman (creator of the webcomic "Wootlabs"):

The new issue of FANTASY THEATER is here!

This issue features a brand-new LADY SPECTRA story by me and Steven Myers, guest-starring Steven's own reptilian brawler, LIZARD MAN! Together, our heroes face the menace of the sinister POISON IVORY, and the all-powerful GODMOTHER!

Also in this issue, GLORIANNA is caught in a war between the sword-wielding amazons of the OJHAL, and the hi-tech cult of SYONS! And what Glori learns in the heat of battle will shock her to her core!

Plus, as always, we have our extensive letters column and fan art section!

For this issue, I am (gasp!) sticking a toe into the 21st century, and making the book available through the online distributor INDY PLANET. Which means color covers and quality printing on nice paper, plus the ability to order via credit card. If this goes over well, look for future (and possibly past) issues to be turn up there as well. Be sure to let me know what you think!

So, in the most recent Glorianna strip...

...Duke Ludwig reveals his "true self".

The question: Where have we seen this guy (or possibly a close relative) before?

Correct answers will win a prize. Incorrect answers probably will too...

I didn't do a holiday-themed strip this year, because I didn't want to interrupt the storyline just as it was getting good. ;-) But here's last year's "Solstice" strip, for those who missed it:

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season, and a prosperous new year! Thanks for your friendship and support!

FANTASY THEATER #21 is a 36-page black & white digest, with two stories starring our favorite wandering barbarian, Glorianna: "Below" and "Solstice". Plus letters, fan art, and a brand new cover, all in convenient dead tree form!

A match made in heaven?

It's always interesting (or "interesting") to see what Google search terms are leading people to my comics:



Most of these are self-explanatory. The Disney Gargoyles references (I get a ton of these) come from Will Terrell's fan art, where I mentioned that he worked on the Gargoyles comics.

"Teen boat"? Dave Roman and John Green do a webcomic by that name, but how you get from there to my stuff, I dunno.

"Sexting"? Your guess is as good as mine.

"Crap"? Like I said, self-explanatory. ;-)
(actually, it probably comes from the dialogue on this page)
