Right-o. If you head to www.torcpress.com you will see a new Link on the Page entitled "Pulp Horrorshow". That's our brand new, ugly-ugly webcomic. You can also head to http://www.torcpress.com/ph1-1.html to view page one directly.
I don't wanna talk this one to death, but I do wanna yammer about the basics a little. First off, a little about the Uglyart. "Pulp Horrorshow: DirtTown" was drawn freehand, with no prior penciling, using a cheap ball point pen on cheap Xerox paper. I did this both to hopefully create the feel of the world I'm trying to create, and also as something of a challenge to my own skills as an artist.
Secondly, the idea for the story came to me when I realized that when I was creating this whole tapestry involving the War with Ortex, I hadn't really bothered to show what life was like for those being openly Oppressed by Ortex. With "The Watch" story over in "SDF" (which, again you can check out at http://www.torcpress.com/sdfweb.html) I was telling the story of the refugees who were fleeing from or hiding from Ortex's Control. "DirtTown" on the other hand, is about those poor slobs living in the grimy cities toiling away under the authoritarian yoke of that ever present Ortex "Diamond" Brand. Whereas I took a very straightforward approach with SDF, Pulp Horrorshow is going to be very dark and very, very weird. Should be fun.
Also, you might notice the Weather Forecast at the bottom of the page. These forecasts were created using my home built Doppler radar machinery, and as such they are very accurate. You can plan your entire week around a single forecast. Yep.
Page Two will go live on Monday, April 9th.
