Whilst steady progress is being made it looks now as if I shall not be getting the first issue completed before the end of this year. On the optimistic side, however, the comic is getting made so I am sure that I shall have something to show in early 2012, apart from this ongoing series of progress reports. The nature of the comic and its format appears to be continuing to digress a little in an e-hon-ish or artist’s book direction whilst still retaining some semblances of an alternative comic. All good. In this report there are some more drawings. These are basic, raw and overlaid to look more interesting online. They may not appear like this in the finished work as they are subject to further development such as reworking and re-composing for the print publication. The figure in the drawings is the older Doctor Comics character doing some printmaking at home in the Japanese sosaku hanga method.
