The Story Behind The Writing: The Overman at Newsarama!

There's a new interview published over at Newsarama this week, of Shane and I, conducted by Zack Smith. We talk about, what else--The Overman.

I've been proofing Book IV and V this week, and making plans to attend the Mid-Ohio Comicon, on Thanksgiving weekend. This will be our last public marketing push before the publication of The Overman #1 in December. While Shane is busy in Seattle pounding out pages, I'll be in Columbus, Ohio offering some free Overman stuff, along with a preview of this first issue for those 1 or 2 people left in the world who don't know about the book yet. I kid. There are actually millions. Did I mention the easy 'send to a friend' feature on our home page? You can help us reach the steaming masses by sending to your friend the following url: http://www.theovermancomic.com/ Perhaps we'll come up with some viral marketing blitz at the last minute, in an effort to prompt more click-thru's. People gotta have incentive.

In the meantime, I'm back to the old script archives, searching for something to post for this week's blog entry. This excerpt is from one of the early incarnations of The Overman, probably around 1990. As always, keep in mind these old scans are NOT representative of the current storyline, but should give readers an inside view of how The Overman has evolved over its many years of development.
