The online comic "High Moon" combines genres as it wins over fans
By Gary C.W. Chun
With thousands of online comic "books" and strips available on the Internet, regular corporate and independent publishers are using the World Wide Web to cross-market their printed comics on their sites. At DC Comics, they're taking it one step further by offering a subsidiary of exclusive comics on the Web.
Go to Zudacomics.com to see how DC does it. Each month, fans and fellow creators vote for one of 10 comics to continue as a regular Web offering on the site. A previous winner includes a writer with some Hawaii ties.
Writer David Gallaher and illustrator Steve Ellis have created the horror-Western HIGH MOON. A gruff bounty hunter investigates a series of strange goings-on in a hard-scrabble Texas town -- trials include werewolves that appear during hot summer nights, plus the secrets of his own past, which include witchcraft and the supernatural. It makes for lively reading, and is perfect for fans of fellow horror-adventure comics creator Dan Brereton's work.
