Wow! 60 subscribers to Gateway City! Cheers all! Thank you so much for following and sharing GC. The messages and comments are wonderful and I can't wait to share more of the story with you.

I've also got comics in print now! At the moment I'm looking into retailers carrying it (please feel free to send me the name and location of your local!) but if you can't wait, you can pick issues 1 and 2 up from my Etsy storefront: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/RMOlsonIllustration

Thanks again, everyone and much love to you all!

Hey Fleek! Whereabouts in Cal are you? I'd like to put Gateway City in some US comic shops but would love some on-the-ground advice! Cheers!

oh hey man! I don't really go to comic shops in particular so I might be quite useless in giving advice. Sorry!

I'm not all the way caught up on Gateway City yet, but I just wanted to say I love your art style and I'm really enjoying the comic!!

I'm illustrating a project over on Kickstarter called The Arte Mephitic. It isn't a comic, so I haven't shared it here...but we're now well past funding and one of our stretch goals is a comic, so now it seems appropriate! Check it out here: http://kck.st/2fsoPnp Let's do this!

Big thanks to all the new readers. That Stealthy Thing wraps up in a few weeks to be followed by Chapter 2: The Brazen Race. Here's a sneak peek!

You're very welcome, thanks for doing the interview! Thanks for plugging the strips I'm working on here on Tapastic, too.

Thanks for subscribing to Crucible, too! Our subscriber numbers are growing steadily and if you can help spread the word about the strip that would be terrific. As you'll have noticed, we posted the final part of Episode 6 some time ago, and Smuzz is working on Episode 7 - but there will be a break while that's in progress. However - there's a short supporting strip also in the works, written by Smuzz with art from Mark Hetherington and Richard Stone, and we're hoping to post that in September. For more background, please do visit www.cruciblecomic.co.uk, which will take you to a page on my British comics web site, downthetubes.net, where we will draw you into the ways of comic creation here on the Sceptred Isle!
