Work in progress: ELEPHANTMEN #14 page 8, originally uploaded by richstarkings.

Loyal ELEPHANTMEN readers may have been wondering what happened to issue #14, which was supposed to ship in, uh, February. Well, our regular artist, Moritat, who has been the backbone of the book for nearly two years decided that it was time for him to take a break. Hopefully Moritat will return to the series from time to time but meantime I had a problem -- who could fill Moritat's shoes for the conclusion of the story arc begun in #13? Moritat graciously offered to work with the colourist to ensure the book maintained the same style and atmosphere... but who knew the characters...? Who could match Moritat's sense of action and adventure AND capture my sense of humour...

Furthermore -- Who else could posssibly interpret my thumbnail layouts?!
