      Hello! I think that I got the first page done. I've made most of the work a couple of weeks ago, but I basically finished the polishing today.

      I am thinking to keep it in black and white for now, as it takes me ages to produce a page at the moment 🙂 !

      or in monochrome with color accents.

      Don't hesitate to give your feedback, although at this stage it might be hard to change stuffs. Pages 3 to 5 are not started yet, so you can really give structural/story feedback on these ones (see script in previous post).

      See you soon!

          Thank you @srednaart ! My kid is not old enough to read but he does enjoy when I draw him a giraffe between 2 John Space panels :D!

          Here is page 2, almost ready (I might draw the outline of the sphynark in the crabbot at panel 3, not sure).

            Not finished, but some significant progress!
            Time to move on to page 4, and polish things afterwards.

                  So here is the final 5-page adventure of John Space:
                  https://www.nodragemillustration.com/webcomics

                  Took me a while to finish the last page, because I was also applied to jobs; and other stuffs.

                  I hope you will enjoy the ending 🙂 it is not exactly an happy ending; so I believe my target audience is more teenagers and adults.

                  Also, I think that wix may not be so good at hosting a webcomic (e.g. adding a comment section). Do you have any recommendations for webtool to publish webcomics?

                    @Geoffrey-Mégardon Hi! You might want to play around a bit with wix. If you put a separate page for each comic you could do something like this [webcomic](l https://oncesete.wixsite.com/sliceofretaillife)
                    This was my old test webpage for my webcomic project. Wix allows you to add a comments section on each post.

                    Now I am working with the toocheke wordpress page. I opened a dreamhost account which sidesteps wordpress payments to their direct wordpress hosting. You can see the toocheke being used in different sites like sheldoncomics.

                      Thank you @makekong !
                      To be honest, I am thinking to decrease the cost by going for something free like Hugo. But yeah, meanwhile I will have to fiddle with Wix 🙂 so thank you for the example!

                        @Geoffrey-Mégardon totally understand, just as fyi, dreamhost is currently charging 3 usd a month for the first year and the domain is around 14 usd. I use it because it allows you to have multiple websites hosted so Im currently hosting 4 for that price. The toocheke template is free for the basic functionality

                        all this info comes from the cool guys at comiclab podcast

                        But yeah the wix works and offers the perks you need now. You can even add gumroad links to sell any digital stuff without having to pay the wix marketplace fee
