Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 22 Xref: watmath net.comics:1279 net.micro.mac:134 net.graphics:575 First Comics has announced that they will be releasing a new comic book in February. This comic will be completely produced (except for coloring) on an Apple Macintosh, using MacPaint and MacDraw software. Artist Michael Saenz and writer Peter Gillis describe the comic as the story of a 21st-century policeman dealing with corporate corruption and a mechanized society. This is the first time a computer has been used for any aspect of comic art (not including animation), and it should certainly be an interesting experiment to see how this works. If popular, then the easier (to my mind) method of drawing through the Mac opens up a range of opportunities for commercial art for those who normally don't have artistic skills.
