Dec Savage: The Quest of the 8-Sider

Even as I type "8-sider", I'm thinking "octahedron" not "octagon".

I haven't read Quest for the Spider yet, and I didn't know that it was so early in the series because it wasn't reprinted as a Bantam paperback until #68.

Are the odds stacked against Dec?

I'm still decided on the format. I'll probably use the pulp order (or publication order) but parody the Bantam covers.

I fiddled with the logo, and I made the image taller so I could include a "cover blurb", which makes up for the lack of dialogue. Also, the blurb means people who see the image away from the blog or the comic page will see that text and not miss the joke. Without context, it's just an odd image.

''Doc? Are we going to Widow's Peak?'' ''No!''

Something old becomes something new. I had a bit of debate with myself about how to do this. Just the covers? Do I need dialogue? If so, where to add it? Maybe underneath, or just the "alt" text. I don't know.

If it's just the covers, with no dialogue, then I spent too much time -- including a Twitter poll -- deciding on the supporting characters. We'll see as time moves on.

Also, if anyone knows how to *easily* remove the shadows from WordArt, or knows a similar program to produce the titles, that would be great.

By the way, the alternate title was going to be Dec Visage, to remove it further from the original, but I thought that that might be too far. "Visage", of course, is a word refering to a face, which 3-D objects, like prisms and pyramids, have.
