a story.

"in the silence of empty space, all bets are off
and that to which you once cleaved
for stability, for comfort, for strength
falls away without a sound."

** CAPTAIN JIM - a graphic novel, a person, a story. **

Captain Jim falls somewhere between a graphic novel, a comic
book, an illustrated play, and a bizarre hallucination where
everybody looks REALLY young. It is published entirely and
exclusively on the net, so don't look for it in your local
comic store (and don't worry about the usual hefty price of
comic entertainment -- this is totally free). It's evolving
and being committed to paper as you read this, so don't look
for the finale. Watch it evolve.

What's it all about? You'll have to find that out for
yourself -- there's not enough space here. But don't browse
Captain Jim, read it.

Maybe Captain Jim is a comic for people who don't read
comix. Maybe it's for people who do. It smacks of things
you see everyday, yet somehow it's like nothing you've ever
seen before. Sometimes spoofing its own genre, sometimes
all too serious, Captain Jim is what it is. Try it, you'll
like it. Be part of the cult phenomenon. Sign in with the
only guestbook that's been functioning (and breaking
regularly) since 1993. Shave the whales. Your mileage may
vary. No step.


Captain Jim. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll fix your hair.


Comments about Captain Jim: (these are real)
"..very impressive ... you never cease to amaze me."
"I love this comic."
"Very very very impressive."
"The story is intruguing and the artwork, while simple,
tells the story well.."
"Kind of mainstream, but impressive in its aims."
"Dan, you should really try decaf."



Captain Jim is graciously hosted by Stardot Networks
(stardot.com). They save us the good table in the back.

Captain Jim is made from a space-age polymer for years of
long life. Captain Jim is not a dessert topping, but has
been rumoured to cure baldness in wombats.
