ComiXpress is a new service for independent comix artists that will print books with no minimum orders, act as their online store, then fulfill the order so that all the artist needs to worry about is creating their comix and being notified of their sales.
From low-quantity, high-quality printing to distribution and sales through the online store, Comixpress is designed to be the answer to costly, high-quantity print runs and the hassles of distribution and warehousing.
ComiXpress allows creators the opportunity to print their comics in quantities as low as one single issue for incredibly low prices (You can literally get the ball rolling for just over $10!).

PV Comics offers hundreds of pages of free comics from some very talented artists. Subscribers get access to even more content, including new episodes of Nate Piekos’ Lint McCree Mysteries and Logan DeAngelis’ KU-2. A few months ago I was asked to join the team and work on the website. Just like Dead Ends, PV Comics makes use of some of the new CSS techniques I’ve been working on recently.

Visit Dead Ends, and step into the graveyards and dank basements of this small New England town. Written by Nate Piekos, and inspired by a love for zombie movies, Dead Ends is an ongoing saga released a chapter at a time. Dead Ends adds a touch of the classic 80s “choose your own adventures” for some interactive fun. Nate asked me to collaborate with him on the website for this project, and the CSS developed there will be the subject of a new article.

The lights went out on Thursday afternoon, and the website was down until sometime on Sunday. Email’s been hit and miss as well, so if you haven’t heard back from me… best to send your message again. One nice thing happened during the blackout – at night you could see all the stars in the sky, even in the city.

The new version of the site is finally online! For this design, I really wanted to do something with a bit more texture in it. Most pure CSS sites are also light on graphics and have a really minimalist look to them. This design let me get a little more creative with PhotoShop, and try some new CSS tricks with the links. Thanks to Jeff McCartney for his feedback on the design, and Nate Piekos for the use of his excellent heading font.
