A Distant Soil: The Gathering Page 6 |

I failed to mention the lettering was originally done by hand by Bob Pinaha.

Round about page 200 of this epic, I took over the lettering, with mixed results. The entire series was relettered here digitally using a font made from my hand lettering by Comicraft. Allan Harvey did the honors.

Anyway, tune in every day for a new page of my epic comic saga. Because if you don’t. I will cry.

Every time you don’t love my comic, a gorgeously dressed androgynous alien dies.

Colleen, love the site, really good work, as always! I have your feed added, and am looking forward to getting to see a page of your artwork every day! I’m saving starting on book 2 as my reward for finishing my current work… super excited to get there!

You are making me reread what I’ve already read. And you’re very funny about it! Hee.

One thing I really liked is the sort of wobbly spidery singsong lettering when Liana was singing to herself to keep certain awful things happening to someone else out of her head, in one of the later issues.

I love the fact that you now have a LensCrafters ad. “Colleen Doran…for Lenscrafters.”

That’s rather sophisticated panel work up there. You really force the reader’s eyeflow.

Thanks.

And BTW, I actually DO go to Lenscrafters. I remember posting about going there on my old board. Time for a check up BTW. Back to Lenscrafters.

It’s the pizza ads that get to me. Man, I love pizza.

Wouldn’t it actually be “Every time you don’t love my comic, you condemn a gorgeously dressed androgynous alien to terminal decreptitue”?

How about, “Every time you don’t love my comic, a gorgeous androgynous alien is forced to shop off the rack?”

Oh my gosh, I love that slogan. I am SO going to put that on a t-shirt.

God I feel so left behind…I just read your name in a book and decided to google you because I’ve made it one of my billion goals to learn and support as many female artists as humanly possible. I’m only on page, what? 4? 5? And I’m a die-hard fan now. Your story is intriguing and your artwork is fantastic! I’m excited to be entertained by your stories, but more importantly, I’m excited by all of the things I will learn from you. Thank you!!
