Metropolis - Chapter 26

Hi

I've got a lot to say about this one...

Chapter 26 took a very long time to draw.  I know I'm doing something wrong because my hand was beginning to ache.

I'm very proud of this chapter's pictures.  I think it was really worth the effort.  I've become much better at drawing outer space.  Compare this chapter with the third panel of Chapter 2.  Yeah!  See what I mean?

It's taken 26 chapters but a second Star Wars "gag" has worked its way into the strip.  I try to avoid it because I don't want this comic strip to become a parody of Star Wars.  I hope you'll agree that it isn't.  Not that I have anything against Star Wars.  I'm 40 years old so I'm consider myself an original (though not diehard) fan.  Case in point: I still have my original Kenner Star Wars toys, but I have no interest in playing Angry Birds Star Wars.

Not that I have anything against Angry Birds...

Enjoy the chapter.  Next up: the Metropolis Yearbook #2!

The New Metropolis Yearbook #1

Hello

In preparing the Metropolis Yearbook #2, I decided to improve the production quality of Yearbook #1.
Here it is!

It's got a new custom cover.  I hope you check it out.

I've made a print version and an E-reader version.  I tested the E-version on my old Kobo and my Ipad.



You can find numerous formats of each version here at archive.org.  Hopefully, the original .PDF file converted well.  Let me know if a certain format looks bad.

The Metropolis Yearbook #2 will be released before the summer of 2013.

Have a great day.

Corrections.... Sorry about that.

Hi

It seems that the panels to the on-line version of Chapter 10 are out of order.  I'm sorry I only realised this now.  Thanks to the reader who pointed this out to me.  The F.Y.O.C. version is fine.  This error is born of trying to maintain the two formats (on-line vs F.Y.O.C. version).

And...

Chapter 24 was mislabeled as chapter 23.  This has also been corrected. With my increased production output I missed this little detail.

Making my own comic strip has been a journey and an education.  I learn how to do something better each chapter.  I thank you for your continued interest in my story despite these (hopefully) minor inconveniences.

Have a great day.
