3 Things You Didn't Know About the Strange Things
- The Strange Things are personifications of Anti-Mathematical Pressure, they come with the Reality Storms.
- They appear to mimic human behaviour and are attracted to humans stuck out after curfew, the humans they capture are never found, they leave no bodies or trace of a struggle.
- Strange Things disrupt Newtonian Physics making reality around them unstable. Newton Guns powered by Shadotech can contain and disperse them, however the technology is imperfect. Newton Guns often jam.

How To Sketch A Comic Book Page
Here are some examples of sketches that show how the artist Paul Wheeler responds to the script by laying out the story as a storyboard. You can see how he picks out 'key frame' moments to convey the story.

Leo Fox Comic Book Printed by Ka-Blam - First Proof Arrives
The Proof of the Pudding...
Is in the eating. I staggered home from a friend's house somewhat drunk on London Pride last night to discover a comic book sized cardboard packet had arrived in the post.
After greedily ripping it open with childlike glee this is what I found:
It's an indescribable buzz to see the comic book you have been working on for two years appear in the physical realm as a real object, and a beautiful one at that. The guys at Ka-Blam have done a fantastic job. The colours pop and the atmosphere of the artwork is lifted immensely by getting the darkness into it that you miss on a backlit screen. It's much grittier and tougher than it looks on screen.
Take a look at these shots to see what I mean,
Take a look at some close ups too to get an idea of the detail and quality of the print,
OK I know these quick snaps don't really do it justice but trust me the printing is excellent.
Any problems? Not really, of course there are a few errors but sooner or later you have to just send the damn thing to print. I have been far too obsessed with fine details on this project and going forward I'll try to bear that in mind. It's been a huge learning curve but we cannot take 2 years to make one comic book again so we need to raise our game.
My conclusion at this stage is that print is always going to kick the arse off digital distribution systems. I will perhaps foolishly hang my hat on that right now. It is so much more impressive to hold a printed comic book than it is to read the thing on a computer it's hardly even the same experience at all.
Thanks for reading, and thanks to everyone who voted for us in the competition at Talenthouse.

Leo Fox Comic Book Issue 1 Now Available to buy in Print
I received this in my email inbox this morning...
The next step for us is to get hold of a copy and assess the quality. If it checks out OK we'll probably order a box full and start targeting blogs and magazines with copies for review.
More on that later.
unfitcomix,Yes, that's correct. We are in print! After two years of production you can finally buy and read the printed version of issue one. The cover price is $3.95 but you'll end up paying around $10.00 to ship it to the UK. That works out to about 7.00 GBP. Here it is IN THE SHOP!
Your comic "The Mysterious Leo Fox - Issue 1" has been added to Ka-Blam's Digital Comics Shops!
Here is the web address to the IndyPlanet listing for your comic- http://www.indyplanet.com/index.php?id=.
