Hello and happy holidays to all! My Christmas gift to the people of Earth is the latest issue of my quixotic small press comic, Amoeba Adventures #35, available now as a FREE download to the technological addiction of your choice!
It’s the newest instalment in the story I’ve somehow been telling on and off since 1986 or so and while it may be nearly Christmas, it’s no carefree romp for Prometheus the Protoplasm and company in this first part of a brand new multi-part story I’m calling “The Crane Flies High!”
You can download it completely free right here at the link below!
You can get a sneak preview of the first page right here – and if you’ve been following the series, you’ll want to read this issue, which starts off a story that is going to change everything for Prometheus, Dawn and the gang!
Want the limited print edition? If you’re down, order one up for a mere US$7.50 to ship anywhere in the world from groovy New Zealand by sending cash to me via PayPal at dirgas@gmail.com. They’ll be sent out after Christmas! Also, if you missed anything, print copies of Amoeba Adventures #31-34 and the special anniversary reprint of 1998’s #27 are a mere $2.50 US each!
