Well, the prologue to “Isle Of Blood” is finished, it’s “in the can” (in Hollywood-speak, not as in “on the toilet”). It only took a week of note-taking and scribbling at lunch and breaks at work, then dictation to my wife who typed it into the computer this weekend (in classic pulp-style double columns, no less). The whole process is a lot of fun, and I find myself not wanting to stop, even for sleep, sometimes. Thankfully, I’m not seeing little balls of sunshine in a bag yet.

In the meantime, I’m still thinking ahead… about The Cipher (the first two stories are shaping up slowly), the next Challenger Storm story, and a long term “what if?”: a team-up of the two characters in a storyline titled “Apocalypse”. (Black Wing, I haven’t forgotten about you! I’m really shooting to make you a comic of some kind.)

In the meantime, keep your coffee strong and your cuban sandwiches pressed right, and your secret decoders set to “B-2″. This is Don, signing off…
