New York Strip: A new online forum for comic books lets authors experiment

To the uninitiated, the world of comic books may seem a grim and unsavory place, populated by pimply-faced, superhero-obsessed 12-year-olds and equally fanatic middle-aged collectors with far too much time on their hands. And I mean no offense to either group—one was my past, and the other will, quite possibly, be my future. But a quick visit to www.act-i-vate.com, the digital home of a dynamic collective of mainly New York-based writers and illustrators exploring their ideas in comic form, will be sure to shatter any neophyte’s delusions.
