Due East - Book 4 Page 1

Let's skip back in time about 2.5 years! Yes, this story takes place shortly after the Brielle/Carolyn flashback sequence we saw in Book Two. And unlike Book Two, we will not be going back and forth between the past and the present. However, this story directly impacts the present storylines…you'll see!

Artistically, it seemed entirely appropriate to do a "prequel" story in pencil. I envisioned that from the start when the inspiration came for this. Now, I did attempt to do inks with the pencils and it took so much away from the feeling I wanted to convey that I computer edited out the inks (if you look closely at this page, you can probably figure out which frames were originally inked).

Our thanks to everyone who said such nice things about the Book Four cover. :)

Next update will be next Monday (I guess I'll have to adjust the title graphic).

In the meantime, why not check out the new collaborative comic called Off Hours? How often do you get to see some of the webcomic "actors" from Due East, Nadya, Purgatory Tower, Better Luck Next Time, Used Books, The Devon Legacy, Wolf and Aurora of the High Seas off the set of their "shows?" We're already on Page 3 of Chapter 1!
