CBAP World
07-02-2015
One of the things I try to do, in a very modest way, is give the site a feel of one, coherent world. Of course I can't do that in a way that huge companies like Marvel and DC Comics do that, but I try to do the best I can, for instance by making references to story A, in story B. There is one character for example that was introduced many years ago in a comic strip called The Debt. Now, I let him and his company pop up again in another strip, The Club, many years later. And quite recent, he was the main antagonist in one of our short stories, the Present.
Or I will take the heroine of my very first album, First Step, and I re-introduce her in a short comic, simply called Caldera (although in this strip, she finally gets her first name, after all these years).
Now, at one of our latest meetings ( yes, we have those frequently here at CBAP;))
my co-founder of the site suggested a few more ways to tie things together (pun intended). He told me: "You have made all these comic pages. Why don't you go through them from time to time, choose a cool situation or point in the action, and make a stand alone page based on that?" As I was still amazed at what a great idea this was, he went on: "Also, you have these characters from the Amazon Army. They work well as a comic, of course, but why wouldn't you also use them in some illustrated stories?" Swiftly, I poured him another glass of red wine, trying to prevent this golden well from running dry.
So, these are the things you may see happening on the site in the near future. Keep watching these pages.
