In this section, you will get a bunch of kewl
bonus features from the Redneck Comics guys, to help convey what exactly
is this thing we call "Redneck Comics."
Brief History of Redneck: Scott & Eric have been scribbling down
comics for years, but finally got around to finishing one in the summer of
2001, with the first comic, Sensational 7. This was followed
immediately by the 10-issue Journey into the Sewer (The Adventures of
Sewerman) and the S7 follow-up, The Sensational 7 Rides Again. After
a hiatus, Redneck is once again springing to life in 2007.
Technical Overview: The process is mostly a
do-it-yourself one that anybody with a moderate desire to create comics
could emulate. After the scripts are written, each page is drawn by
Scott in HB pencil (or whatever's available, usually #2's,) and scanned.
On the computer, the pencil renderings are cleaned up, coloured and
lettered courtesy of a process that has become known as "Studio Redneck
Studios+," which mostly involves MS Paint and/or JASC Paint Shop Pro for
fancier stuff.
Interview: In order to promote the release of
Redneck Comics Volume 1, Scott & Eric did an interview for ComiX-Fan, a
website Scott wrote for, which can be read
here.
Reviews: Redneck Comics Volume 1 was reviewed
for ComiXtreme by Andrea Speed, but the review has since been lost.
Her sentiments that it was funny and well-written with lackluster art was
echoed by Craig Reade in his
review
at StillontheShelf.com
RN Stinger: As part of the "Redneck Comics
Sells Out" theme/joke of Journey into the Sewer (The Adventures of
Sewerman) #10, we did a
number of fake ads for "upcoming" titles, many of which included
artwork by our cousin Kris Stemmer.
Filibuster: To signify that we once again
cared about our comics, we did an April Fool's joke to go with our site's
un-re-design (going back to the modified classic look.) In
this fake press release,
we detail the outrageous plans for a daily 22-page comic that will
captivate readers.
Merchandise: You can buy numerous Redneck
t-shirts, hats, coasters, cups, posters, and of course clocks, at our
superstore, which is also
where Redneck Comics Volume 2 is on sale.
