We are under construction!

We've finally gotten some of our web hosting issues out of the way and work has started on the all new web site! In short, Netcom (our old service provider) was bought out by Earthlink, who was, in turn, purchased by Mindspring. Needless to say this complicated matters.

We've upgraded all the basic sections under the new, easier to navigate design. However, some of the locations are still under construction. Additionally, we're still in the process of investigating some of the more technical features of our new account, so many of the features we wanted to implement are unavailable at this point. Look for them soon. We've also switched from coding the site by hand to using an HTML layout program which should hopefully speed up the process by allowing us to concentrate on design.

Some of the new features you can expect include:

Online comics: featuring complete and unedited stories for you to sample. We've lined up some fantastic previews like Will Allison's Trouble Express and an exclusive net comic by Diana X Sprinkle!

Integrated Quicktime support: viewable Quicktime movies including comic previews and feature animation

Chat room: a place for Radio fans to hang out. We'd like to schedule online chats with featured creators.

Improved catalog section: Everyone loves the online catalog, but you've requested larger descriptions and more information on each issue. We're going to deliver!

Online Tutorials: Excerpts from Pat Duke's amazing "Photoshop for Comics" which is currently running in Mangaphile is destined for this site! We're planning on hosting a number of exclusive manga/comic creation articles and tutorials!

Believe it or not this isn't all we have planned! Check back often to see what we're up to!
