Just a quick note to say Issue I of Contraband, a three-issue Slave Labor Graphics graphic novel hitting comicbook shelves in February 2008, is now available via digital comic download at www.Eyemelt.com .

Here's what it's about:
Caught recording an illegal violent content transaction, a self-styled citizen journalist is bullied into finding a female activist sabotaging the country's most controversial cellphone video channel. His search leads him into voyeur underground where profit-hungry youths prowl cities filming violent events to satisfy society's accelerating demand for sensational content...

And here's some early feedback:
"Contraband is a great sci-fi thriller...the style is quite European and very inviting." (Comics International)
"Contraband is as visionary as the technology Behe writes about." (Broken Frontiers)
"Cool stuff!" (Ben Templesmith - 30 Days of Night)
"Phil Elliott's work is optimistic and loving and fine...he makes it look so easy." (Neil Gaiman)

Love you to go check out a preview at www.contrabandcomic.com when you get a chance & let us know your thoughts.

Have a very cool week!
