“ALICE IN NEW YORK” is dear to my heart. It is my first full length graphic novel. It has appeared in installments as a series and I sold it primarily at comics conventions and festivals. It received a lot of good healthy praise by comics reviewers. I learned quite a lot from the experience. I believe it can only serve me well with all my future endeavors.
At some point in the future, I still plan to see the complete graphic novel as published and more readily available. I might still do some more tweaks to it but I’m more than happy with the end result as it stands.
Since my completing this work, I have gone on to focus on learning more about the art of comics. I have written numerous reviews of not only independent comics but any and all kinds of comics. All that matters to me is a good story.
You can read “Alice in New York” right here: Alice in New York Henry Chamberlain.
I really like this. Anywhere one can currently buy a copy of this, Henry? It’s great to read onscreen but a graphic novel must be read in the hands to fully appreciate it I think!
Thanks so much, Alex. It means a lot. Thanks for picking up on the quality of the work. Well, this graphic novel is currently part of a Kickstarter campaign. It is included with a collection of short works under the title, “A Night At The Sorrento And Other Stories.” The title story is set in a luxury hotel, the oldest one in Seattle. The Kickstarter campaign runs thru May 6 and can be found here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/henrychamberlain/a-night-at-the-sorrento-and-other-stories
You know, there are so many works out there that just require the right push. I’m sure you can relate to that with your own work. When the time comes around, I look forward to reading it.
“Alice in New York” does deserve to be properly published. It will. So far, I’ve run into agents and publishers who have not quite seen the whole picture for what it is. I think they expect a more clear-cut happy ending. I wrote that book with many years of reading and writing behind me and I stand by my sense of storytelling. This isn’t a race or a popularity contest. It’s all about the integrity of the work.
