You can tell when a blue moon is around the corner, Agency Publishing gets ready to produce its newest comic

I've been working a lot trying to push several comics through production. A lot of familiar faces are in production, as well as some new work. This is one of the new ones.

This project has been kept absolutely secret until now. I don't know why, I just really liked a lot of the potential it had, and didn't want to say much until it was all done.

This comic is called Yelena and it follows the adventures of a bi-sexual, tickle fetishist witch living in the modern day. I don't really know what the inspiration for this was. I guess I just don't see eastern European women offered as a focus for much of anything, and thought it would be cool if I had a protogonoist with strong eastern European and Russian roots.

The premise for the story is that Yelena's family made a pact with the Devil to gain some of his power in the form of witchcraft. Even though they could live supernaturally prolonged lives, the Devil sought underhanded means (would you expect any less than the prince of lies?) of nullifying the contract by killing everyone in the family. He employed Witch Hunters to hunt down all the Yelena's family line. She is the last of that lineage, and has lived in exile her entire life to avoid their probing eyes.

Yelena uses witchcraft, and has mastered the art to the point at which she has achieved immortality. She is over 600 years old, and has taken up residence in a modern day urban environment, with the hopes of blending in to the surroundings, avoiding the Witch Hunters, and enjoy a normal life.

These stories will chronicle different adventures with Yelena. Although I had intended to keep everything in the modern day, I could see the exploration of her formers lives as good story time fodder.

This is the first time I've ever worked with this particular artist. I was so impressed by his initial representation of Yelena I immediately penned what is now issue #1 in just a couple hours. It was a very primal, very inspired exercise, and I kind of liked how it turned out.

Yelena is having a secret affair with a world famous supermodel, and this first issue deals with their relationship a bit.

Here's the cover to the book.

Here's the pinup, showing Yelena with her secret lover Gretchen.

Here's a colored panel of Yelena and Gretchen getting some nice alone time together. Does Gretchen love tickling? Not exactly, but let's just say Yelena is very infectious with that side of her personality 🙂

You can see in this panel, like the one above, we took a direction with the narration that we've not really tried before. A lot of the captioning is through the eyes of Yelena, as if she's telling the story. The text story that preludes this comic is drafted in the same manner, from Yelena's eyes. I rather enjoyed that approach, and will probably continue it with future stories.

I love Yelena's dress designed by the artist. You'll notice in a couple places in the story he apparently loves upskirt shots. Nothing wrong with that, but there's some nice renderings of Yelena as she's partially bent over here and there. Fun to throw in traditional T&A with more specialized looks at tickling.

This piece is interesting, because it does show some various aspects of a page before it becomes final. On a few of the panels, the artist and I had a hard time deciding which version should go into the next stage for inks/colors. This particular scene (without giving too much away) shows Gretchen being tickled, while there's some "other things going on." So when you sexualize a scene, it's always a challenge to know how much laughter should be displayed on a page versus more orgasmic moments. By the way, the female orgasm is a difficult thing to depict in a beautiful way. Odd thing, that.

But as you can see, depending on the sketch, some of the scenes are more full of mirth, some are more drawn to esctacy.

Anyway, this comic represents a lot of firsts for me personally, so I hope the end product is something you all enjoy.
