While the majority of the site got it’s overhaul a few weeks ago, there were a few lingering details that have been left to “as soon as possible” status. One of those has been the character bios pages and comic archives.

We have now started to upgrade these pages to the new tabbed design that you currently can see on The Deadlys™ archive as well as the Necro High™ character page. Each design is set up to try and compress the amount of info down into a nicer, more manageable page of stuff.

The Deadlys™ archive is still a work in progress but will be fully transferred in the coming weeks. Look for more tweaks as we roll into October.

On October 4, The Deadlys™ turns 10 years old! Quite an achievement for any comic strip but especially one that has seen it’s share of ups and downs over the years.

One of the ways we’re celebrating is with this new website. I felt that I wanted to do at least a little something new with it and when I came across this old design from 2012 I knew I had to make it a reality. A great nod to the early years of the comic while giving it something fresh.

Starting on Monday, September 14th, I’ll be going through the archives and picking what I feel are some of my favorite Deadlys comics to date. They’ll be reposted on the front page every weekday from the 14th until Halloween so be sure to stop by and see if there is a story you had missed or forgotten about.

More to come. Stay tuned!

Many probably don’t know this but there has never been a traditional piece of original Deadlys artwork ever created. The series as you know it was born on the day I got my first Wacom Cintiq art tablet. It took a little while to get the hang of drawing on a screen, but after a few months I was hooked and it has drastically changed the way I produce all of my art (for the better!).

For the last 10 years, I have been drawing The Deadlys™ on that little 12″ tablet. Every comic strip, every graphic novel, t-shirt design, etc. It has been an amazing little workhorse and still works to this day.

Why am I telling you all of this, you ask? Well, this week I decided to give myself an anniversary gift of sorts. A reward for 10 years of Deadlys work through thick and thin. Today I just installed my new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 and I am one happy camper!

Aside from the obvious larger screen, I also got an arm which allows me to draw in a much more comfortable position instead of hunched over the small table I had my 12″ tablet sitting on. This has really got me excited again because, now that I hopefully won’t have to deal with neck and back pain, I can stay at the table more and maybe get some more Deadlys content out the door.

Thanks for sticking with me and The Deadlys™ this past decade. It’s been so much fun seeing people fall in love with these characters. Look for more great stories in the near future!
