TODAY is the official date of birth of the Secret Acres website. A big, cuddly welcome goes out to all of you, our new visitors, and everyone else who has been patiently waiting for us to launch. The site took a little longer to put together than we had anticipated, but it’s up now and we think you’ll agree it was worth the wait.<\/p>\n
Secret Acres is a comics publishing company started by Leon Avelino and Barry Matthews. You can read more about us here<\/a><\/span>. Secret Acres books will start hitting the shelves next year. In the meantime, there are plenty of mini-comics to pick up in our Emporium<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n All of our artists have individual pages with their bios and links to reviews and websites. Most of our artists have mini-comics waiting for you in the Emporium. You can also get a taste of their comics right here<\/a><\/span> online. These will be updated weekly on rotating basis.<\/p>\n Our Critical Ends<\/a><\/span> section is where you can find all the big ideas from comics scholars around the world. Every month, we’ll have a new essay up. The first essay, “Word and Image in Contemporary Fiction” by Zo\u00eb Sadokierski, can be accessed here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Secret Acres’ s first book, Fatal Faux-Pas by Samuel C. Gaskin will debut at APE 2008 next April. Sam’s Xeric award-winning comic, Pizza Wizard #1<\/a><\/span>, is in the Emporium right now. Don’t miss this one.<\/p>\n
