Periscope: Portland's storyboard and comics studio.

Over at her LJ, Dylan Meconis writes:

Since I was off being a tremendous dork at music camp this past week, you guys get a nice substitute treat over at the comic - namely, another comic! A finished one! Fourteen pages!

Dylan has teamed with author Sara Ryan to produce CLICK, a prequel to Sara's new book The Rules For Hearts. Both the comic and the novel star Battle Hall Davies, and one of the supporting characters in the comic is Katrina from Sara's Eisner-nominated short story Me and Edith Head.



Go, read!

Novelist/comics writer Sara Ryan has a new book coming out. On her blog, she writes:

Courtesy of the lovely and talented Colleen Coover, here's the first of seven icons based on different elements of The Rules for Hearts. I'll release one a week, each with a quote from the book, until the beginning of April. Feel free to use them wherever you'd like! And if you put them somewhere on your blog, MySpace, journal, etc., I'd love it if you posted the address in the comments!

These icons also exist as vinyl stickers, suitable for decorating computers, skateboards, instrument cases, etc. Want a sticker? Send a self-addressed stamped envelope to:

Sara Ryan
Mercury Studio
333 SW 5th Ave., Suite 303
Portland, OR 97204

and I will send you a sticker!

BONUS: I will enter everyone who gets stickers into a drawing for a signed copy of Rules.

From my uniquely privileged position, I've had a sneak peek at all seven, and they're great. I expect to see the online versions popping up on ljs everywhere.
