The original press release for Women Webcomicker Grat NAN can be found at http://divalea.livejournal.com/343450.html

Before September 6th, for me to say I understood the reach of the Internet would mean that I knew it was an end run around many obstacles facing artists who wanted to share their work with the world. It’s an end run I have been making since 1991, a decade and a half of dodging and weaving, and in that, a bit more than ten as a webcomicker, one of the first to make the print-to-web transition with Rumble Girls: Silky Warrior Tansie. I started Women Webcomicker Grant Nan because I was challenged to do something about the problems I saw with comics, instead of just talking about them. Inspired by Peter Laird’s Xeric Grant for self-publishers and Dr. Keith P. Taylor’s Modest Needs foundation, which gives small gifts to people to help pay emergency expenses, I realized it was within my grasp to do something, and even a “small” something was still something.

DJ Coffman announced today that Hero By Night Diaries has gone to M-F update schedule. DJ Coffman only recently launched Hero By Night Diaries on Drunk Duck and put his other comic Yirmumah on a (hell I don’t know what kind of schedule) schedule (on a side note DJ is looking for Guest strips for Yirmumah).

Hero By Night Diaries seems to have gotten a warm welcome and in my opinion looks sharp.

DJ says “I’m excited to be able to flesh out the world of the original Hero By Night via his journals. This is a whole new way of telling a story for me, and I look forward to not just creating a static comic strip, but a world the readers can get immersed in, or dig as deep as they’d like with clues or plots within many of the installments. Over time, I think it will be great when say for example, strip # 50 features something mentioned briefly in a prior strip, and will be a nice payoff for readers that are really paying “.

HBN Diaries is a companion piece to his upcoming comic Hero By Night that will be published by Platinum Studios.
