Well, the fine folks at Blood Scream Comics have just released the second issue of "Spring Heeled Jack." I did both the art and writing for this comic book and it was originally self-published back in 2006. Enough time has passed that I'm almost able to read the book disinterestedly... almost. The artwork is worse than I remember but the storytelling, although heavy-handed and self-conscious, among other faults, isn't as bad as I feared. This is certainly not something that will survive the ages, but it does provide a quick and inoffensive diversion. Jason Gilmore did the stunning color for the cover. I cannot praise him enough. Juliet Fromholt did the print formatting. I remember only printing a few copies of this issue in 2006 since I had a terrible time getting the pages aligned for printing. Her accomplishment amazes me. And Matthew Brassfield, editor of Blood Scream Comics, is the one responsible for this reissue. He's hoping to release other older works by the other Blood Scream Comics staff. They're sure to be a delight! You can see all the comics released titles by going to www.bloodscreamcomics.com.
