Jason,
Just dropping a line to say that your work here is great and I’m looking forward to seeing the end of it, as well as your take on Celephais.

Hi Ken! I’m planning to adapt “Celephais” next. I love Clark Ashton Smith — I adapted “The Tale of Satampra Zeiros” into my comic “Hyperborea”, and I would love to do “The Seven Geases” or “The Dark Eidolon” — but his work is all still in copyright, and although his heirs were cool enough to sell me the right to adapt “Zeiros,” I think I’m going to stick with OOC writers and works of my own invention for awhile. But next, Celephais! :)

Jason, I can imagine Ernest Hemingway wincing in the next world! But I feel confident that the end of the story will be worth the wait (however long delayed).

What other HPL story are you considering adapting to graphic form? Another of his more Dunsanyian efforts (The White Ship, say) or perhaps a Mythos tale? There’s certainly no shortage of good Lovecraft stories. And what about Clark Ashton Smith (Ubbo-Sathla) or William Hope Hodgson? I’ll stop now–I’m sure there are more stories you’d like to adapt than you have time to do…

This comic is wonderful! The panels where Olney is traveling through the woods to the cottage (especially the one with the inset showing how far he has come from his homey front porch) have brilliant depth and points of view. The scary silhouette against the old bullseye window is awesome, too. I will wait patiently for you to wrap it up — this was one of my fave Lovecraft stories. Really nice work…a lot of thought and care is apparent in every panel. I can understand why losing your portfolio and thumbnails would have really set you back…there’s got to be quite a bit of prep for a gem like this….

Everybody, I’m sorry. I know I have totally dropped the ball on my commitments and deadlines with this comic. Part of it was losing my portfolio with my thumbnails and partially completed remaining pages back in January, but that doesn’t make up for the other 8+ months. I won’t throw out another deadline that I might miss, but I do intend to finish this comic (and do at least one more Lovecraft adaptation) so please consider me “totally flaky, but not dead” for now.

Apologetically — Jason

One day we will see this comic rise from the printers grave.

Whoa! Ken Kobori is right. That’s the Laocoon Group on the bottom left.

Aww. This work is so awesome, it’s a pity it kinda died here. Been checking few times already on follow up with no luck. Hoping you’ll continue one day^^
