John Allison, writer of the Steeple webcomic:
It’s my birthday today! I’ll be celebrating, as I always do, by having a glass of water. If you want to give me a present, please tell a friend about Steeple. Tell them it’s a reasonable read at a price that’s right. That ought to do it.
It is, in fact, both of these things. If he did commissions, John Allison would be on my ‘try to buy a book cover from’ list.
Steeple is a comic book series (1-4 out now; this is the upcoming compilation of 1-5) by John Allison about a Cornish town that has stuff going on with witches and sea monsters and a new Anglican prelate trying to make friends with her opposite number in the Satanist temple, and that doesn’t sound very nice, does it? But it’s funny, and Allison isn’t grinding any axes about Christianity. He does have a strong-jawed Anglican vicar of a certain age punching sea-monsters in the head, though. Very player-character Anglicans, all around, in fact. I may play one, if I ever get to play in a campaign where that’d be appropriate.
