MT Announces New Lineup

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAN FRANCISCO—Modern Tales (www.moderntales.com), one of the Web’s premier webcomics sites, is proud to announce the addition of five new comics to its lineup for the second half of 2007. The new comics are:

+ Little Dee, by Chris Baldwin, a daily strip about a little girl raised in the woods by animals. Baldwin is best known as the creator of Bruno, one of the longest-running and most acclaimed webcomics, which ended early in 2007.
+ Planet Saturday Comics, by Monty and Kelli Kane, a monthly comic about “childhood, parenthood and memory,” based on the creators’ own experiences as kids and as parents.
+ Gothbunnies, by Joanne Wojtysiak, a whimsical fantasy about three rabbits dealing with their new home and its overgrown, magical garden.
+ No Stereotypes, by Amber “Glych” Greenlee, a sprawling fantasy about an immortal searching for his lost love, the ordinary girl who might be what he’s been looking for, and the troublemaking gods who get in their way. No Stereotypes is returning to Modern Tales after a long absence.
+ All Knowledge Is Strange, a new strip by renowned experimental webcartoonist and minicomics creator Daniel Merlin Goodbrey. All Knowledge Is Strange replaces Goodbrey’s previous comic on Modern Tales, Brain Fist.

Most of the new comics are running on Modern Tales now; No Stereotypes will debut in the coming weeks. Modern Tales editor Shaenon K. Garrity will interview the creators on the blog Talk About Comics (www.talkaboutcomics.com). The first interview, with Little Dee creator Chris Baldwin, is already available here.

Little Dee Joins Modern Tales

Today, Chris Baldwin’s strip Little Dee joins the Modern Tales lineup. I’ve been an admirer of Baldwin’s cartooning for as long as I’ve been reading and drawing webcomics, and it’s a great pleasure to have him on board.

I also interviewed Chris for Talk About Comics, where we talk a little about his long and renowned career in webcomics.

I'm still accepting submissions to Modern Tales through August. If you draw a comic that you think would be perfect for MT, send a link to moderntales.submissions at gmail.com.

Modern Tales in 2007

As we enter the new year, I want to encourage everyone to check out the excellent new comics on ModernTales.com, which I as editor am extremely pleased to present:

Inanna's Tears, a stunning new graphic novel by Rob Vollmar and mpMann. The first installment is up now, with new 4-6 page installments to appear weekly. It's beautiful, and I'm really excited to be able to publish it on MT.

Gee Girl, a one-shot comic by Karen Ellis, whose diary comic, Planet Karen, runs daily on Modern Tales.

There's a new chapter of Xeno's Arrow up on Modern Tales Longplay. I was a fan of Greg Beettam and Stephen Geigen-Miller's offbeat sci-fi saga back when it was a gem of an indie comic in the '90s, and I'm delighted to have it on MT now.

Oh, and if you have a comic you'd like to submit to MT, email me at moderntales.submissions@gmail.com with a link and a pitch. I'm reading submissions now.
