My new publishing venture
by Kristatos » Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:18 pm
Parthenia Comics is a new business that I'm launching. The aim is to publish short "how to" guides in comic book form, aimed at adult literacy learners and people whose first language is not English. I am currently seeking funding through the Indiegogo website. Even if you can't afford/don't want to donate, please help spread the word through any social media you may use, or post a positive comment on Indiegogo to help raise my profile. OK, I'll put my tin cup away now.

Curses, I've revealed my secret identity! Seriously, I normally post on forums under my own name anyway. I only used an alias because, when I first started posting here, any deviation from the approved line on Daniel Craig and CR made you a pariah on other Bond boards. As I'm sure you are well aware.

Good luck with the comics and hopefully there will be lots of people who work in education who will find them very useful! Do you write the books?
Bring back Bond!

I've written the first one and am in the planning stages for the second. If the company takes off, I may hire other writers.

Wow congrats Nick! Hope it comes together for you!
Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

Thanks to whoever just contributed on Indiegogo. They went by the username of ian00fleming, so I'm guessing it was a DCINBer.
