I think Sean may have forgotten that the one issue came out through Speakeasy...'cause he mentions it in his archive. I'm waiting for word from him to see if there were two editions of that issue...:hmmmm:

The Sean Ward Electric Comics Freak-Out! 5
July 2005

I was about to launch into a long story arc involving The Changing Color. It was going to be a massive story about love, creativity, art, friendship, consciousness, loyalty… basically I was going to distill my entire worldview into a comic book story. As I was preparing, I made the acquaintance of an upstart comic book publisher who wanted to take me on. We would launch a series in full color, available in all of the comic book shops. This publisher laid out the marketing plan by which I would do two more of the underground comics, hit the convention circuit with them to grow the buzz, and then release the #1 of the new series in the fall. So I put off that big Changing Color story, and cooked up the idea for this book and the next one just to fill those two last underground books that the publisher wanted. We got this book out, had a super-fun party for it in a converted munitions plant, and then the publisher went out of business in a very public and high-profile manner.

Never mind...:D...Just got an email back from Sean...it doesn't exist. Which leads me to believe the Mercury Chronicles may never have been published either...:hmmmm:

Currently waiting for a reply back from Mr. Fortier (Former Speakeasy publisher...no VP with Boom! Studios)....[/quote]

Mr. Ward is wrong as I have a copy of said book Freakout book.;)

Lookwhoitis has a copy of Mercury Chronicles, it has been reviewed online and Chuck did have a copy which he scanned for his website.

Earl.[/quote]

Interesting....:hmmmm:...I'll have to post the body of the email...:D...Maybe Mr. Ward doesn't know it got published...:D[/quote]

I will dig out my copy and scan the indicia. I am not 100% sure where I picked up my copy from but I did think I got it from his Webiste. Perhaps not as he does not remember it.
