Coming soon
I’m really close to being done with the next story I’ll be posting at the Web Comics Nation page for Red Flags. The story is called “High Noon” and it’s another twisted tale written by James Hitchcock with art by John Moore.Yeah, I know there’s some other western story called High Noon but Jim’s take is totally different and the title fit for reasons you shall soon find out. We call it an “apocalyptic western” and it certainly isn’t like any western I’ve seen. Here’s a sample:
This is the third of three stories originally planned to make up Red Flags volume 2 that Jim wrote for 3 different artists- the others being P.O.V. which was drawn by James Tingley and The Copy Editors with art by yours truly, Joe Williams- which originally were to make up the second issue of the comics anthology, Red Flags. We’ve also posted the amazing work of Slovenian artist Matjaz Bertoncelj, who sent us Malleus Maleficarum, a disturbing tale of the inquisitor Lupus teaching his young rabbit protege the finer points of torturing women suspected of witchcraft.
When John sent in his pencils for the story, I suggested to Jim we should just run the pencils without having them inked since they really had a nice look that worked well with the story. So, I’m doing some retouching to the art in Photoshop to clean up the pencil work just a bit, as well as adding the text & word balloons. I took a break from the lettering today to work up this promo image which I’ll share as a teaser until I get the rest of the story done and posted. Here’s the promo for High Noon…
