Our old comic book

[fbhjr]

Back in the 80’s and early 90’s my wife and I produced a comic book. It only was sold in one store, a few dozen copies of each issue. We had 20 issues before we got involved in planing our wedding and never got around to doing it any more.

One of our friends who was a guest artist for a few issues now works as the manager of the comic book store where we used to sell it.
We were there yesterday to pick up our comics.

He told me that when he was looking through some old comics he found some of our issues from back then.
So, I added it to the comics I was already buying.


I paid my twenty five cents for it. So, I’m going to claim that our comic we did way back then is still being bought and sold on the used comic market.
OK, it was me buying it.
But, I’m still going to claim that…

We never got to that third plot line in the comic.
We had plotted out far more than we ever wrote.
We wrote more than my wife ever drew.
She drew more than than we actually published.

So, some of the characters never got their origins explained in the run of 20 issues.
But, that doesn't mean we didn't know what they were...

Hold on! Twenty issues? NICE.

Yeah, 20 is all we got out.
#21 was finished and only needed to be printed. (As it was a black and white comic that meant taking it down to Copy Cops...)
But, it was the start of a 3 issue story arc and we knew we weren't going to get the next two done any time soon. So, we never put it out.
And, it's been 24 years and we haven't done those other two issues yet, so I think that was the right call...
