Each day ComicMix will be adding new comics to the site, each of the features being updated weekly or bi-weekly. S&A's first run will wrap up in early July but will return Fall 2008. Please keep checking back here for news of the new comics and previews of new pages. Please add the S&A comics to your favorite sites list or even make the S&A comics page your homepage.

Best of all, its FREE! No memberships or even a sign-up. Just free comics all the time, so as someone who had enough interest in S&A to visit this site I hope you'll check out the new comics. And while it's free for you, just by clicking on each page of S&A comics at ComicMix.com (and hopefully reading them while you're there), you're supporting S&A and the site. Please tell your friends about it. The more people checking out the pages, the better, so please visit often, … weekly, daily, every few minutes even. Again, it's completely FREE!

And what will you find there? First are all the classic Simone & Ajax adventures in glorious black-&-white to get you up to speed. Maybe you read them before, but try 'em again … I bet there are a few stories you missed.

After that are all-new S&A tales in, for the first time, full color! Jason Millet is the colorist, so now Ajax is green, the lemmings are yellowish, and Simone colorful in more than personality. See the images on this page for an idea what to expect. First up in the new stories is a two-parter, Simone, Queen of the Jungle, followed by the first feature-length S&A graphic novel, The Case of the Maltese Duck, serialized over 10 weeks.

After that? Planned to start Fall 2008 are 2 more new and full-color graphic novels, one a Holiday tale and the other a Pirate Adventure. There are many more S&A tales I'd like to tell, but you hold the fate of S&A in your hands.

If enough of you visit the S&A pages at the ComicMix site, the kind people there will keep S&A going, so please visit often, tell everyone you know, anyone you just happen to see, whatever it takes to get the word out.

Now you may be thinking, "But I don't like to read comics online" (though that will change once you see the nifty new way ComicMix has come up with) or "But I want a nicely printed Simone & Ajax book I can take anywhere." Well, ComicMix will quickly follow the online version with book versions that will be available at your local comics shop, bookstore, or online bookseller. So please read S&A online for free first and follow it up by adding it to your library.

I hope you'll enjoy the comics. I'll be glad to hear what you think of them. You can email me here. And while I'll eventually be overhauling this whole site, for now you can follow the link below to the series proposal to find out more about The Adventures of Simone & Ajax.
