I've decided that involvements in putting Ghost Zero into a print format, it might not be in the best interest of the comic to be hosted on a site owned by Platinum at this time. So, I'm reluctantly removing Ghost Zero from Drunkduck. This has been my home since the comic took it's first steps, and I'm deeply grateful to all of my fellow artists and fans who have followed me along the journey. I hope that you'll still visit the Ghost Zero Blog to follow up on the latest with the comic, as I believe that there's some really exciting things ahead. Be assured that Eddie's adventures will continue!
Thanks to everyone in the DD community that have made me feel at home, and please keep in touch.
All the best,
Dave Flora

GHOSTS WITH GUNS, the first comic release featuring Dave Flora’s
GHOST ZERO character is now available for order directly from the
creator! The comic features collections of the first two Ghost
Zero webcomics “Sea of the Dead!” and “The Fleshless
Legion” professionally re-lettered by Anthony Schiavino.
The 32-page comic includes an introduction to the Ghost Zero character
by the author, sketch pages, pin-ups by Tom Floyd (creator of the “Captain
Spectre” webcomic) and Thomas Boatwright (co-creator/artist
for “Cemetery Blues” and artist for “Edgar Allen
Poo”) and more!
Morning, guys!
Thanks to those who are interested enough to follow GZ, and I completely understand those who won't. To each his own. You're certainly welcome to keep up on the GZ blog.
-cs3link, Well, it's not completely a question of the dangers of mirroring the work. At this point, I'm starting relations with some publishers, and I have to be respectful of their feelings regarding their publishing of content that has already appeared on the web. It could be that they'd be happy to post it on the web at their site...at this point I just don't know what the relationship will be. I'm also trying to be more careful anywhere I post the pages. I don't know about you, but I rarely read the "by clicking here, you agree to x's terms of agreement"...and I probably should.
Right now, I'm developing a short, 4-page story for GZ along the lines of "The Fleshless Legion". I don't even have a title for it, but it contains a river, a destroyed Japanese mini-sub, and the ghosts of a bunch of frogmen.)
I'll probably forget about it after a month to be honest. Its not a jerk move, its a bad habit of mine to not check things that arent Penny Arcade. So not having this in my notification will just make me forget. You could at least update this with art and reminders to point to the site.
Forgive my ignorance, but how is mirroring your book here going to cause a problem? That sounds like a smartassed question, but I'm genuinely in the dark, and very curious since I'm posting 2 books here myself & know so little about such matters.
“Delicious. Great, stylish fun. Pulp done right. The sort of thing
that deserves to be read under the covers with a flashlight and a palm
full of Raisinets for company. I’d gladly gobble down more installments.”

“Many of us in the comic book world pay homage to the pulp classics.
Dave Flora has gone several steps further and resurrected the very spirit
of the pulp hero itself.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Dave Flora knows.”

“I read it thinking – this is kind of what you’d get
if HP Lovecraft
had created Captain Marvel! Fun to read and marvelous to look at.
Every aspect of GZ delivers. I want more!”

and DEMONS OF SHERWOOD (ComicMix.com)
“Ghost Zero is a mile-a-minute, pulse-quickening thrill ride,
brought to you
by one of the best emerging visual storytellers on the scene! Flora mixes
the arcane and the adventurous with such relative ease, and he draws
panels which are infinitely creepy, yet pull you into his world. If there
was an heir-apparent to such classic weird pulp heroes like the Shadow
and the Spider, it’s definitely
Ghost Zero!”
