• MAIN PAGE
  In the "spirit" of the season I've temporarily redesigned the main page. Hope you like! Thanks to Renee (no I don't think it's THAT Renee ;-) and Scream City for the use of their free graphics.
• STRANGERS IN PARADISE by Terry Moore - new issue available.
  Vol. III, #27 "Dark The Sun" - Tragedy strikes in a stunning turn of events that will have far reaching consequences for Katchoo, Francine and all who survive. This is Terry's darkest issue to date - a highly emotional, gripping roller-coaster ride. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
