Well, here it is: the five finished pages of The Count of Monte Cristo I’ve been tinkering with on and off for a bit.

I just wrapped up coloring these this afternoon, so I really haven’t had much of a chance to sit back and do much of an evaluation of the final product, but I think they’re reasonably solid. I’m sure, though, once I’ve lived with them a bit, I’ll find some stuff that really bugs me and I’ll have to go in and tweak things a bit. Anyway, here they are:
