The Dark Fringe was originally released as a 4 part mini-series, created, written, and inked by me and penciled by the terrifically gifted John Kissee.  Original covers were colored by Ray Villarosa and are presented below.  Click on them to see them in larger size:

                         

The issues were collected into a Trade Paperback in 2003.  I decided to re-use the second issue's cover (my personal favorite) as the cover to this paperback.  I re-did the logo and colors.  ISBN # 0-9729115-0-2

A couple of months after releasing the book, I was contacted by Platinum Studios' Scott Rosenberg, the man who pushed "Men In Black" to the silver screen, "Jeremiah" on the small screen, and the creator of the 2011 Daniel Craig/Harrison Ford "Cowboys Vs. Aliens".  His company read The Dark Fringe and were interested in optioning it for the big screen.  After reviewing the contracts, everything was a go.  A subsequent article appeared in the December 29, 2003 edition of Variety Magazine, noting the optioning of The Dark Fringe to film (see this link for article).

Below are the entire contents of the original issue #1 of The Dark Fringe.  The series was released in black and white, though I've fiddled with coloring the pages as time permits. Enjoy!
