WHO'S FLYING GIRL:
FLYING GIRL, by Elizabeth Watasin, is a girl hero who flies. Virginia (Ginnie) was born with the ability to fly, and uses it to help people when she can, but such aid given can come, not just with joy, but with all its ambiguities and possible prices.

WHAT'S CURRENT WITH FLYING GIRL:
Right now I'm working on having Ginnie flung 300 years into the future and joining four other girls in their spaceship. The project is called WISE GIRLSĒ Elizabeth Watasin, 2004, and will have witches and vampires in space! Stay tuned for further details.s

Elizabeth Note:
Wow, what a trip back in time. This was my first ever attempt at making pages for an actual 'pro' publication, and not realizing whether I'd have a further chance, I put everything of what I wanted to see in a comics story, into this, at that time. Two girl heroes having a meaningful, yet everyday-like conversation. Hm. I could say alot about it....

(The cover for this issue was a wonderful collaboration between me and Sarah--I drew and inked the characters, Sarah had the art shot on acetate and hand painted the acetate animation cel style--meaning backwards. The background is a for real swatch of fabric. All hand done, no processed computer tones here!)

Elizabeth Note:
With this story, I leapt at the chance to finally do something in full shoujo style--all the zipatone was laid in by hand and painted over with ink and white cel paint. I had to get the pages shot by camera, they couldn't be scanned. I worked on these pages while listening to Morrissey's 'Speedway'. God, I love doing stuff by hand, the pages look great.

(Another story with zipatone laid in by hand--oh, and hand lettered too, by Mr. S. Kongsle!)

Elizabeth Note:
Now in looking back at this story, I remember thinking I didn't quite pull it off, and I still don't think I did, but it still looks decent. ;) I love the outfit I gave Ginnie. I also love the little old lady character, she's a singin' one of my favorite olda tunas. :) I feel like this story was meant to lead into another one, but I bet I didn't leave notes, so if there was a character development arc intended, it's been lost.
