Abstract Studio weathered Hurricane Ike this past week, with no injury to friends or family. However, due to the affects of the storm, production of Terry Moore’s Echo has been delayed. Like much of Houston, Abstract Studio was without power for nearly a week. This has regrettably halted production of new books, as well as delayed the processing and shipping of website mail-orders. Abstract Studio apologizes for the inconvenience. Power was restored last night and everyone is working hard to make up for lost time.
Terry remains positive, following the storm, “We really can’t complain. We’re safe. Abstract Studio came through unscathed. We didn’t have water or power for a few days, and you can’t buy gas, so life was very 19th century. As a writer, it was more interesting than inconvenient.” With regards to Echo, Terry said, “I’m a week behind on Echo #7, but I hope to catch up and stay on schedule, putting a new one out every six weeks.”
While Issue 7 of Echo is currently delayed, Terry’s work for Marvel will not be affected. Scripts for Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane and Runaways are on schedule and should see no delay because of Hurricane Ike. “Fortunately, I am ahead on my Marvel work,” Terry explained, “I’ve finished Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane. Runaways is always a race. I have to scramble to stay ahead of Humberto, but we’ll be okay.”
Terry and everyone at Abstract Studio would like to say “thank you” to those who contacted them with their thoughts and well wishes. Though work is continuing as much as possible, a normal schedule cannot resume until power is fully restored to the Houston area. Terry is working hard to make the delay as short as possible.
Abstract Studio was founded in 1994 as the premiere publishing company of Terry Moore’s work. It publishes popular independent comic books such as Strangers in Paradise and Echo, and can be found online at http://www.abstractstudiocomics.com. We at WCBR send out our thoughts to all those affected by Hurricane Ike. Stay strong!
