Hi - this is Dan T. Davis, going by "Seeker" here.
Who else is here? People I know, or new friends?
Obviously - Mark is here, but who else!
Take care, Dan T. Davis

Hey Dan, thanks for stopping by! Wow, we've nearly reunited the whole letters page gang now! Dan T. Davis, for those of you who don't know, was the author of a terrific Akiko comic book story published in #50 of the Akiko comic. He holds the distinction of being the only person other than me to have written a published Akiko story.
Thanks again for your contribution to that issue, Dan. I know you and Matthew worked long and hard on it!

Oh, and a word about Dave Van Domelen, for those of you who don't know him. Dave is a comic book critic, and he was among the most vocal supporters of my Akiko comic series. A terrible lapse of judgment on his part, I must say, but I'm sure those bribes I sent after each issue came out didn't hurt. :')
Thanks for joining us here, Dave. Hope all is going well for you!

Scott Stewart from the old Yahoo group, migrating over here as well. We're a small group but, boy, we're loyal!

Welcome Scott! Great to have you here, and as you said, yes, I am lucky to have such loyal readers. With most of you being primarily fans of my Akiko comics, I'd have thought you'd have lost heart long ago, thinking "he doesn't do comics anymore."
Well, as you may have heard, I am about to get back into comics in a very big way next year. The plan is to have the first two graphic novels in my new series hit stores on the same day in May of 2007. That means over 330 pages of new comic book material from me in a single day!
Beyond the series introducing a whole new group of characters and a story unlike any I've tried before, it has allowed me to devise a drastically new approach (new to me, anyway) of laying out pages. If you liked what I did in Akiko comics, I sincerely hope you'll enjoy my new project. Hopefully I'll be able to say more about it--and show actual pages from it--soon.
Thanks again for joining us, Scott!

Well, I guess that I should post that I am here too! It seems that this forum has a whole lot of Pieces of Dan scattered all over the place! It's great to be here. And it's good to see Carol Pond finally able to post in an Akiko Forum. Welcome, Carol! -Dan S.

Welcome, Pricilla! I hope you don't mind me telling everyone else here that you are among the most dedicated Akiko readers I've ever encountered. (Priscilla has kept in touch with me by e-mail for at least a couple of years now.)
It's great to have you here, as you are one of my 'new' readers; the ones who discovered Akiko primarily by way of the novels from Random House. I hope that with this forum I can eventually have a spot where anyone who enjoys any of my work--novels, comics, or otherwise--can share their comments, ask questions, etc.
Thanks again for joining the forum, Priscilla!

Welcome, Daniel! Thanks for reading my Akiko books, and for being such a careful reader at that!
Dan Davis, Sadly I'm so busy with deadlines right now I think the gallery section is going to remain untouched for a while. i'm going to do my best to stick to the 'monday' pledge, though!
Wow, Dave, your comic shop came through for ya; i know that hasn't always been the case in the past!
Thanks everyone else for your posts; sorry if I've missed responding to anything!
Mark
