Heeey, thanks! I was just happy that I finished the thing, but I guess this is the icing on the cake. I'd hate to be the editor of that book; there's enough quality work from Calgary alone to fill a volume. :)

Whoa! Good job, Fiona! And, um, for the record, I kind of predicted this back in May: Amphibious Nightmare by Fiona StaplesI was lucky enough to see some of the original art pages of this comic, and they blew me away. This photocopied version kind of loses the effect of some of the shading, but the art is still amazing. And the story is very well-written too. I wondered if it could make it in to Scott McCloud's book. I have eery powers! Yay! |
