Comic Books & Graphic Novels

Information

Long ignored, but serious in their own right - comics and graphic novels are often relegated to the children's table. That's NOT where I would expect to see Sin City! It's time to support our Black Comics.

Comment by Brent Mason on April 11, 2008 at 10:41am: This is an idea I had about a biker that waged justice on the mean streets of a Gotham style city. Never took off though.

Comment by Edward Uzzle on April 3, 2008 at 8:05pm: htp (peace)

My name is Edward Uzzle. I am the creator-publisher of NETERS. Gotta say thanks for dropping the first of many issues of NETERS on this great board, J. Sheffield!

Issue one is nearly complete. Stay tuned for more NETERS.

Comment by Balogun Oyabode Abeegunde on April 2, 2008 at 4:15pm: I am an author of fiction and non-fiction. I have a graphic novel currently in production (being illustrated, inked and colored) and I am presently writing two other scripts.

Comment by J. Bernard Sheffield on March 23, 2008 at 3:23pm: NETERS ISSUE #0
Issue zero is the Official Guide. It is the beginning; or herald if you will, of a six part mini series. Forty eight pages in full color. Character profiles, cultural break-downs, and the ultimate secret of the Neters universe is revealed! We bring you a world both strange and familiar. It is our hope that the guide will wet your imagination pallet. Neters issue zero is the first of the new cifer-Ra (high-science-entertainment), coming to you from Daathrekh Publishing.

The Official Guide Neters - an epic speculative fiction event, that chronicles the lives of the men and women of the Ma’atan Code. Born in the wake and destruction following a mysterious Back-Ground noise, they live out their lives, burdened with the awesome responsibility of redeeming the names and traditions of those who came before the end of the Dream Time.
