Free Contest, New Column & New Page of Panthea Obscura from Mike Luoma

Burlington, VT, April 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Vermont Comic Book Creator and Author Mike Luoma's new column is now on line at Cosmic Book News. Join Luoma for his seventh installment of "Mike Luoma's 'Making It Up!'"as he describes the process of creating his comic book "Panthea Obscura". In this installment Luoma covers how he finished up the second issue of "Panthea Obscura" with Argentine artist Juan Carlos Quattordio. He also talks about his first con experience as a panelist, and gives his readers the chance to win a rare comic book in a Free Contest exclusively for the readers of the column.

"When I was writing the column, I realized I still had one copy on the shelf of a special Preview edition of Panthea Obscura Issue Two that I'd put together for my appearance at 2Pi-Con," Luoma explained. "This preview has the first half of the issue completely finished and lettered, with the second half showing the work in progress – some pages are colored but without letters, some pages are inked, some are half inks and pencils, the last page is just the rough pencils. Only five of these issues were ever printed. I'll sign this one to the winner to make it a one-of-a-kind rarity."
