For those curious, I thought I'd share a tid-bit of history.
This fantasy world was published online in 2005.
To put this in perspective, this was BEFORE the Kindle was invented, and self-publishing was still looked upon as shameful and nearly impossible to succeed with. You could not get traditional comics in a digital format from the internet at that time. Marvel, DC, Image,...even Disney, hadn't done it. This was the state of the environment as I took the story of Wendell and created comic books.
It was my FATHER'S idea to put Wanted Hero on the internet. I'm always going to say that first and I give him all credit for encouraging me. But unless someone else has proof that can beat MINE from the WayBack Machine...then I am the FIRST person to create an "eComic" on the internet.
The comics were in PDF format, and readers were givem my permission to print out as many copies as they liked--so long as they did not alter or sell them. From my WantedHero.com website, I sold ¢.97 downloads through Paypal to anyone I could find (the internet was a LOT younger--and smaller--at that time).

What happened?

By the end of the first year, I'd gained readers in over 60 countries. The visiter count was somewhere slightly over 750,000 by December that same year. To this day I still don't know how that happened, but people seemed to like the story. Readers apparently didn't have a problem with downloading a file and printing it off to read. Still amazes me to this day.
Those are the original covers below. I thought you might enjoy seeing them after all these years.
You can still read the original comics, which you can find through Life of Fiction, by clicking right here . We just completed our next project, collecting and republish them all in a single graphic novel!
