Sword and Sorcery webcomic

Storn · 06-12-2006, 08:29 AM

As someone who has played roleplaying games for years, even illustrated a few steve jackson products (ogre)... I've always had a love for comics too. Perhaps this can inspire more gamers, more comic readers. I can only hope.

Well, the shared love of sword and sorcery and gaming led us to create Catspaw.

Announcing CATSPAW. A weekly installment webcomic written by John C. Hocking, writer of Conan and the Emerald Lotus. Illustrated in color by Storn A. Cook.

Catspaw is a tale of swords, sorceries and deadly intrigues. As Talene, a young ambassador from a powerful nation, is thrown to the wolves in the streets and courts of the world's most powerful and corrupt city.

Hosted by Flashing Swords, the pre-eminent sword and sorcery e-zine on the web. Come dip your paw in the adventure that is CATSPAW!

Nice illustrations... But isn't it a bit early for a comic that only has six pages so far to ask for PayPal donations? ;)

Nope. Can't hurt to ask.

Hey, these pages take a heck of a lot of time. I want to do them as best as I can, because i love sequential art, I love fantasy and want it to be different than most of the web comic stuff I see. And I especially love serials.

But I'm not going to starve to do them. This is not a call for donations, but rather a call for understanding... I'm gonna do a page a week. That is all I can afford to do time wise. We dreamt thisto do our part in trying to give sword and sorcery a revival.

You don't have to donate a damn thing if you don't think its not worth it. I don't have a problem with that.

Due to Gencon, and a move from Michigan to Ithaca, NY, I have fallen behind on updating folks when new Catspaw pages have gone up. However, except for the week of Gencon, I have been quietly been producing pages and they have been going up.

In fact, A new Catspaw page went up today! We are up to Page 6 in Chapter 2. Things are about to get really tense as the chase for the assassin is leading to some unknown destination.
