I really can’t imagine someone reading the blog who hasn’t read the comic.  What would be the point?  However, just in case…

(Besides, I needed something to fill this post, anyway.)

We have been promising it since day one — and it’s finally up and running

The Art of Addictive Comics Blog is LIVE!

We’ve wanted to do this even before we started the comics, but we weren’t sure if there was really a need for it.  As creators we love to discuss the story and artwork amoungst ourselves, but we didn’t know if the readers would be interested or not.

But the comments on the Blogs have convinced us that at least a few of you would like to delve more deeply into the creation process. 

So we’ve created The Art of Addictive Comics Blog.

Some of you may note that we only have one Art Blog when we have mentioned before that we would be doing individual ones for each book.  We decided that one would be better.  That’s all.

You might also notice, when you visit, that it looks a little sparce.  We’ll be fixing that as we go along. 

Our first post is all about the page you just read — Black Jack Justice - Justice Served Cold - Page 8 — And TREES! 

If you are interested in Artwork, the creation process or you’re just wasting time at work until the whistle blows — Check out The Art of Addictive Comics Blog by CLICKING HERE NOW. 

Now, please, your comments on Page Eight.

Hey, we’re glad you could make it. 

This is where you can comment on Page 3 and read the comments made by other readers and the creators.

To view the rest of the blog click the BJJ Blog Home link in the top left corner.

Page 3 really taxed my almost-non-existent lettering skills to the max.  I had to move and squeeze and move some more just to fit everything in.  Those fans of Black Jack Justice who have the shows memorized (you know who you are!) will see that we still had to cut a little bit of the dialogue.  Sorry.

It wasn’t much — but if you want to hear the complete text, visit Decoder Ring Theatre and download the wonderful Podcast of Justice Served Cold.

I am even more sorry that I had to cover up so much of Sami’s beautiful artwork.   After the Holidays are over we plan on creating another blog to feature and highlight the artwork of Black Jack Justice and other artwork by the Creators.  We’ll probably include the “pre-word balloon pages” each week for anyone interested in them.  But until then here is a special little treat.  

I HATED to cover these legs up –

Pencils by Sami - Inks by Mark - Legs by Donna

Let us know if this kind of stuff interests you (”discussions about the artwork” not the girl )

While you’re here, don’t forget to have a look around.  There is a gorgeous picture of Trixie by Sami on the post for December 19th.
