Introductory RemarksGreetings. Welcome or welcome back.
To order any of the PHANTACEA Mythos Print Publications that are still available, including returned copies of PHANTACEA #1, click here or here. (Certified cheques or money orders only please. I decided not to incur the cost of trying to set up an online payment system since they seem to benefit the intermediary more so than the publisher.) Next door is the usual Hestia Housekeeping subsection of 'pHpubs'. Immediately below is an alphabetical list of lynx to a number of typically idiosyncratic mini-essays and/or Character Likeness studies I've prepared over the years for on the Web. They illustrate some of the peculiar perspectives I've developed while writing the PHANTACEA Mythos. Contact me [jmcp@phantacea.com] and feel free to ask any questions you might have regarding PHANTACEA. I'll do my best to answer them either directly or right here in 'pHpubs'. PHANTACEA Essentials

Hestia Housekeeping| What's New Intro | Latest overview of a PHANTACEA print publication | Feel Theo Progress | Scanned-in copies of original comic book series now available for $10.00 CDN per issue | Today's Topic | Elsewhere (TIMP, Serendipity Now, latest synopses) | Conclusion | Top of Page - Carry on with Hestia - Over to PHANTACEA Essentials - On to Topic Hestia Housekeeping amounts to the 'What's New' section of pHpubs. Consequently I always start it with a 'What's Old' link to where I put its previous update. Now that that's done, we can get on with this edition's preview. So what is new in Spring 2008? Truth told, it's more a matter of what's gone and where -- namely, all of the Travels in my Pants (TIMP) web pages. Part of the reason I set-up an off-shoot website had to do with the massive upgrade I described last time up. As became immediately evident once I started to up-load the Autumn 2007 edition of pH-Webworld, my minuscule microbe of Cyberia was too ladened with images. In other words, it was full. In order to keep adding more and more 'Flox of PHANTACEA Feature Furtherances', I had to expand my microbial territory. Which I did. And which I'll likely do again before the next upgrade of PHANTACEA on the Web comes along. Reason for that is suggested on the Welcoming Page as well as here, here and here. Top of Page - Top of Hestia - On to Topic Yes, I'm still inching closer and closer to self-publishing "Feeling Theocidal", possibly just for starters. Since it won't be too much longer, a www.phantacea.com is sure to follow, is it not? It is! And one feature that I guarantee will be moving over to it is the detailed, section-by-section overview of the graphic novel that I debuted last time. I am of course still selling 'Forever & 40 Days - The Genesis of PHANTACEA' for the original list price of $10.00 CDN or USD. That's a 'still-selling' dot-ditto for this repeat announcement: I've noticed that by googling up PHANTACEA then following some of the resultant lynx you'll eventually come upon at least two sites wherein someone has scanned in whole sequences from the comics. Further to that, I read somewhere that both Marvel and DC are offering to sell copies of their back catalogue online and in digital format. It therefore occurs to me that if anyone wants to send me, say, $10 CDN per issue by certified cheque or money order, I could do the same thing. Of course, $5.00 CDN for issues 1-4 (since 5 & 6 are out of print), plus postage, sounds like a better deal to me. (Then again, I prefer paper to pixels.) Either way all it takes is an email, an exchange of mailing addresses and said certified cheque or money order cashed and in my bank to get your very own PHANTACEA library. As if all the above wasn't enough, there's some more new material in Serendipity Now. Sooth said there's three additional entries there: "The Universal Substance"; "A Croc - Not a Crock" and "Noting Theocidal Tendencies". Top of Page - Top of Hestia - On to Topic As for Volvar and Vamvar, I spell-checked then added three more chapters of the former, as well as two more synopses, but haven't touched the latter. That's because, as noted last time up, I've encountered something of an unwanted perplexity wrapped in a candy-coated conundrum. I of course should have realized this would happen. As per here, though, I hadn't looked at either of them for years. The problem? It seems Vamvar is about to start carrying on from where Volvar leaves off. Except ... Volvar won't be leaving off anything for another 7 chapters or so. That means Vamvar has to do a 'Centauri Island' and go into hibernation midstream until Volvar concludes. Feedback encouraged. Oh and, lest we forget, as always, good reading. |

Sites with Loads of Graphics:Google.ca supplies what amounts to a pH-Webworld web gallery. Just go to http://www.google.ca/, hit the images link and type in PHANTACEA. Pasting into the address area of your browser the following Url might work as well: http://images.google.ca/images?q=phantacea&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&start=100&sa=N&filter=0 PHANTACEA on the Web is chock-a-block with visuals. Good places to ogle artwork from the comic books and graphic novel are One to Six, 'Twenty-Five Years Plus' and what began as 'The Genesis of PHANTACEA' web-page. Most of the other graphics are scans I did of my own photographs or material I put together using PHOTOSHOP. All the essays are loaded with images. Try out the framed version of the Main Menu. You won't go anywhere else but, then again, you won't get lost either.
