Here is the splash page for the new comics story that starts tomorrow at SeanWardSuperParty.com. The ‘Splash Page’ is an old phrase from the nineteen fifties. It was the name for the first page in a comic book. It was always a single-panel page that gave you an overview of the upcoming story, usually depicting a scene that doesn’t actually happen in the story while giving you the flavor of what’s about to happen. The splash page always has the title of the story on it, as well as the credits so you knew who made the thing. The splash page usually also had the indicia at the bottom, which is that block of teeny-weeny text at containing the copyright information. Now that I’m thinking about it, if I really wanted to go all the way retro, I would have included indicia on my splash page here. Hrrmmm.

Before you wonder if you’re in the right place: no, you did not eat something you shouldn’t have. No, you are not dreaming. You have made it to the new Super Party site! Now the finest in bright, fun, colorful comics is presented in a format befitting such awesomeness.

This was inspired by two of my favorite things: pop art and psychedelia. If you want to see where the ideas came from, Google Peter Max and Pushpin Studios. Of course that’s not the whole formula, I don’t want to give everything away!

Leave a comment and let me know what you think about the new decor around here!

Much love,
