By Molly Crabapple and John Leavitt



" The comic "Backstage" follows the adventures of gossip-mongers/failed vaudevillians, Johnny Panama And Elizabeth Delancy. As reporters for the yellow tabloid "Backstage" Johnny and Elizabeth report on Anarchist dance hall numbers, debauched uptown parties, and where to find the cheapest liquor in town.

 Set in Gilded Age New York and rendered in Molly Crabapple's signature style, "Backstage" is a comic romp through sex, drugs, and murder."

I'm having a lot of fun staring into that splash, too. And limited color palettes are always a winner. Looking forward to more.

Exquisite!~
Question. On one of the balconies there is a sign saying "Syphillis Cured" will you be sharing said cure in a future chapter?

For a small fee, I have a cure for syphillis. Completely safe and painless, or your three ounces of flesh back.

Welcome to the gang. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Oh, and... I really like that cozy looking office. And the colors. And the fashion.

I there is one thing I love more than Victorians, it's Edwardians! Agreed with everyone else, that first page is a real delight for the eyes.

I love the splash page as well! And Elizabeth's expression when she walks in the door is kickass.
