Working on this book has kept me from posting web comics with regularity, as I’d like my books to be mostly new material. There will be 6 mini-books in the series. I’ve finished the art for the first book and it’s going to print in the next week or so. I plan to release books 1 and 2 together, either by the end of March or early April. You can <a href="http://dribbble.com/bethdean" title="Beth on Dribbble">follow my progress on Dribbble</a>.</p> <p>I’ll also be taking this show on the road to a few comic fests this year, so I’ll keep you posted where you can find me. I’ll try to put at least a couple pages on the website as I complete them. As soon as the books are available you’ll be able to buy them online, and I’ll be putting a few prints in the store as well. If you’re in San Francisco, you’ll be able to buy the books at your local comic shop. </p>https://blog.thebethdean.com/post/16414915951https://blog.thebethdean.com/post/16414915951Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:15:00 -0500comicscomicbethdeanbethdeancomicssanfranciscowebcomic<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxncw0SLYe1qf5nxbo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><h1>Giants Riot </h1> <p>Here’s a teaser from my upcoming book: <strong><em>Beth Dean is Loose in San Francisco</em></strong>. </p>https://blog.thebethdean.com/post/15678094173https://blog.thebethdean.com/post/15678094173Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:33:00 -0500bethdeancomicsbethdeancomicsgiantssanfranciscosfgiantsworldseriesworldseries2010comicwebcomic
