The Crew Behind the New Crew

** PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION **

The New Crew, as a concept, was the sole brainchild of the writer's cynically quirky imagination. However, having the New Crew actually take shape in comic book form was very much a group effort. There were various ties connecting this motley group of comic creators long before the New Crew project was even an idea. Most had been members (at one time or another) of Alpha-Omega, an APA-zine sponsored by the Christian Comic Arts Society. All had worked together in the Proverbs & Parables anthology. Don, Ralph and Kevin had been partners in publishing the New Creation Christian comics newsletter. It was from this friendship that the publication of the New Crew took shape.

Other bits of credit where credit is due:

The New Crew book itself was printed by Harold Buchholz Print Services. Harold is yet another Alpha-Omega alumni, and he specializes in short-run comic book printing.

The fonts used in lettering the New Crew comic book were slightly edited versions of those found in freeware comic font archives such as Blambot and VTC. Highly recommended for all starving artists who do have a computer but don't have legible handwriting. ;-)
