I’ve been teasing you about the return of “KELLY” since our little dishwashing quickie last month… but I’ve been busy cartooning as well. Today, I am jazzed to be a little less vague and announce that Act Two of everyone’s favorite damaged psych-out romance “KELLY” is going to premiere as an exclusive feature on the internet’s smartest sex site Nerve.com. This first installment of Act Two is not just a triple-length chapter, but a sequence I’ve been waiting to draw since Max and Kelly first met almost a year ago.
And here’s the sweetest part: “KELLY” isn’t leaving the ranks of ACT-I-VATE to do this. In February, you’ll be able to go to Nerve and read the premiere of Act Two (and the rest of the Comics Issue) for free, where it will live as an exclusive feature for one month before returning to ACT-I-VATE for the duration of its run.
Since we started ACT-I-VATE nearly a year ago, it’s been our dream to bring people who don’t read auteur comics into our little screen/paper worlds by reaching their eyes where their asses are already planted: in front of their computer screens. Bringing “KELLY” to Nerve clues a lot of people in to the secret all of us are already hip to: the strongest and most personal work in comics grows wild and roams free out here on the electronic frontier.
Nerve’s Comics Issue features not only a collection of writing about comics by Nerve contributors about comics, but also new work by Sophie Crumb, Meg Hunt, Chynna Clugston, Ashley Wood, Leah Hayes, Jim Mahfood and Andi Watson and interviews with Alison Bechdel and Evan Dorkin. It’s set to debut in February… and I’ll of course announcement specific dates when they’re ready.
Glad you’re here with me, kids. I’m making this stuff for you.
