Sometimes old stories haunt you like a plague...

Or the plague...

Or maybe just a heavy cold...

Anyway, waaaay back in 1994 I wrote a little comic called "August Ice", I was in love with my art style at the time (Which, I might add, was awful!), and the story was entertaining and funny (I'd go into details, but then you wouldn't enjoy it later). Needless to say, I never even managed a 5-page issue of the thing, and so it slowly died and never was seen from again...

...until today.

I have a dear friend whom works in collaboration with me on various comic book projects (Though he is a markedly better artist than I, I feel compelled to add), and today I went over to help him finalize a package for Dark Horse, while talking, we discussed the fact that he has no complete stories to show for his troubles, and he'd really like to add something to his portfolio that was complete. We get to talking and he brings up a space pirate story... which suddenly reminds me of August Ice... the stories meshed so perfectly, we are going to start a series of really twisted stories concerning these two space pirate crews...

Now (And here's where we come to the "Why did you put this in your Blog?" part), I have problems following through on projects, so I'm hoping agains hope that by putting this down in my blog, I will be compelled not to let this project fall to the side of the road as so many others have before it...

And so, gentle reader, you have become a mechanic in the functioning of my mind... I hope that is okay with you.

I have no idea what to do if it is not...

Either way, back to interesting stories on the `morrow
