If you've never read Sparkshooter before . . . welcome to it! If you have, welcome back!
Here's a quick history lesson ...
What's it about?
What do you call romantic rivalries, tested friendships, strained creativity, and a battle for the ultimate prize? Rock’n’roll, of course. Sparkshooter is written by Troy Brownfield with art by Sarah Vaughn (Ch. 1-2), Ben Olson (2), Enkaru (3-13), and Dotstronaut (14-present). Letters by Steve Ekstrom (14-15) and Jim Campbell (15-present).
When did it start?
Sparkshooter has been dropping roughly one page a week since 2012. As you see above, it's all written by Troy. You might know original artist Sarah Vaughn as the writer or co-writer of things like Alex + Ada and Eternal Empire. Enkaru drew chapters 3-13; she's the creator of Trisquel and Elite Raiders and hails from Spain. Dotstronaut (Kate Frizzell) came aboard with Chapter 14. Steve Ekstrom lettered for a while after Dotstronaut joined up; current letterer Jim Campbell is a U.K. treasure and has lettered Troy on a number of other comics.
What's the new schedule?
Right now, we'll be dropping five classic pages on three days every week (M/W/F) until we catch up. New pages will continue to drop on the Sparkshooter page at Facebook until we catch back up here and switch over. We switched over to FB for a while after massive problems with the original site. That's part of why we're switching over to Tumblr full-time.
What's next?
More classic pages this week, and watch this space for updates! Thanks for reading!
