Crystal Clear #1
Written by JAY PAYNE
Penciled by JAY PAYNE
Edited by KYLE REEDY and TROY JEFFREY ALLEN
The new series (the number of issues is yet to be determined) is about the title character, a promiscuous super heroine who has become a public relations nightmare. Looking to improve her image, her agent calls on a struggling comic book scribe to re-imagine her into a wholesome crusader for truth and justice. They have their work cut out for them.
It's a romantic-comedy with capes, 3 genres that Jay knows and loves (pun intended).
Jay is pulling a grand-slam for this one! He is inking, drawing, and writing this bad bear.
Crystal Clear will make its' debut at The Small Press Expo '09.
