Happy December!

As a winter present for everyone, I'm offering a free novella on my website.

A Happily Ever After of Her Own

Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...

...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.

Enjoy and happy holidays! :)

Greetings myspace pal!
Drop us a line sometime and chat comics with us. Tell us what you're into, ask us if we have stuff, whatever!
Be sure to check out www.jetpackcomics.com for more info. Be sure to read our bulletins too, because we've heard they are usually pretty funny.

ALSO, we just released an incredible variant for Joe Hills Locke and Key: Crown of Shadows #1. This Jetpack Comics variant is limited to 1000 copies and is quickly becoming a very sought after issue.
It's probably the coolest variant we've ever done, which is saying a lot because we did one for Locke and Key: Head Games #1, we've done them for Kill Audio, Mercy Thompson, Dean Koontz Frankenstein, Dresden Files, and more! But this one? It just might be the coolest. Check it out! Thats not just ink, the front is entirely done in GOLD FOIL! Thats just the front, we won't even talk about the bad ass ZOMBIE face on the back cover. On sale for a limited time!

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

(C) David Franks 2003
