Forsaken Stars #1 & #2 Now Available on Lulu.com


After months of preparation, Forsaken Stars #1: Constituo Theatrum is now available on Lulu.com for purchase in paperback! It's a bit on the pricey side, for a comic book, but it's bigger and it's on nice, shiny paper. Now, to be honest, I loaded up Forsaken Stars #2: The Flames of Purgation first, and received the proof of that recently, and it came out fine, so I went through the same steps to publish issue one, but instead of waiting for that proof to come via snail mail, I thought I'd go ahead and let you all know if you wanted one right away. Or you could wait about a week until I get the proof for issue 1 and let you know how that one comes out. But the PDF file looks great, and that's available for immediate download And if you haven't clicked on either of the above links yet, you can go here to visit my Lulu Storefront. Soon I hope to add a few other things I've been meaning [my whole life] to publish, so check back from time to time!

The months of preparation included utilizing my new Bamboo tablet, Corel Painter Essentials 4, and Manga Studio Debut 4 to completely redo all of the word balloons and text, add blacks, tones and textures to many of the panels (which I'd meant to do for all of the space & stars shots), and just get both these issues looking as great as possible with little to no budget, before publication. All the remastered pages have been loaded up on http://forsakenstars.com and http://roblopez.comicgenesis.com for your enjoyment, both issues are now online in their entirety, and hopefully the next few issues will look as good or better!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the story so far, and of course, the visuals of said story. Thanks for reading, and take care!
