I just wanted to hype something this time around.
Frank Dawson Jr

has posted six sequential pages and a credits page from his personal project, THE HAWTHORNE CHRONICLES. THE HAWTHORNE CHRONICLES is set in 1936, just before the Olympic Games, and is a pulp-adventure comic that features adventurers James Hawthorne and John Eagle Eye, a Native American who's deadly with a bow. This is something of a learning experiment for Frank, who hasn't done a lot sequential art in the past. I think that Frank is pushing himself to do his best artwork to date, and he's working to continue to improve his skills as a sequential artist. I hope you will check out his efforts, and give him some encouragement. Sequential art isn't easy, folks.
The pencils, inks, and lettering are provided by Frank, with Craig Russette

providing the dialogue, and I

was happy to pitch in a little too, adding some gray tones to the pages. If you get a chance, please check out the pages in Frank's gallery, and give Frank and Craig some feedback. I'm sure they'd both love to hear from you! And, if you like what I did with the gray toning, please let me know!

Here's hoping Frank will continue to produce more pages for THE HAWTHORNE CHRONICLES!
