Thanks for the post and for your feedback. Just thought I’d make some clarifications though.

First, the comic strip isn’t in color as you mentioned. If you go to the website where it is posted, you would be able to see the first three episodes which are, in fact, in black and white.

Second, the strip isn’t based on “Marlowe” — there are some events that he uses from things that have happened in his life that he “harvests” for the CM character’s personality, but mostly he draws on real events from cryptozoology as inspiration for the strip as a whole.

I felt this would help readers of this post have a better idea of what to expect from the comic strip. Thanks in advance for posting this comment!

Warmest regards,

Pete

Peter, Ed Craft, the cast, staff and I would like to welcome you to our little production!

We hope that you and all of the fans have enjoyed the first three episodes and that everyone will get a laugh over those still on the way.

Online versions of the first episodes have been posted for a while now on Crypto-Man’s website and I’m sure that the fans are aware of those. We are now also self-publishing miniature comic book versions of the strips that can be had in “hard copy” for a small donation to the Pangea Institute.

However, I should point out that the strips are in black and white. Peter does do color cells for the comic book covers and for the Crypto-Man merchandise line (I particularly like the T-Shirt with the villianous Kalanoro you had suggested early in the series here on Cryptomundo). Proceeds of which are contributed to Crypto-Man conservation programs.

You are so right about artists liking that billowing smoke — Peter got an earful from our scripting team about that faux pas too!

Episode 4 is a doozy with Crypto-Man’s test of Earth (part of the “Secret Cryptid Society’s” initiation involving Air, Water, Earth and Fire) and is set in Central Asia. The fire test is yet to come in Episode 5.

We appreciate hearing from you and the fans and are still casting talent for caricature parts in the strip and for upcoming audio episodes soon to be released.

Enjoy!

Scott
