As promised, an old one from "The Vault"....

This is more of a story illustrated with cartoons than a "comic" I guess (thought I still put it under "comic pages".

I did this 15 years ago, way back in 1995. Ever since I first read Jane Eyre in high school, I was fascinated with/obsessed with this story. After I'd seen a few TV renditions of it, I got this idea in my head after I started thinking about how "Eyre" sounds like "Air" and then yeah...Air Jane, Basketball Star/Governess came to be!

Remember, this is a long time ago and alas, I was still in college so I didn't have a whole lot of time to devote to my hobby of comic-ing. So yes, it is rushed in parts, the coloring isn't particularly great, but I thought it amusing enough to post it here and share with you folks here. I will be posting it at DrunkDuck as well.

My style was still developing here, but it's really quite similar to my style now. It's come a ways since 1995, but all in all I'd say this ain't bad.

One day I plan to do another actual more comic-y version of Jane Eyre, probably not Air Jane but a humorous take on the actual book. It'll be a lot longer and a follow the book more closely, but will still be done through what someone once described as "Through Amy-Colored Glasses." =p

For now, enjoy this little oldie but goodie. Air Jane has an interesting writing style, to be sure. Remember too that this wasn't really intended to share with people; it was for my own amusement...so yeah, not as polished as most of my recent stuff. :D

You're welcome! Your cartoony style is really refreshing, and modernized take on Jane Eyre is funny.

This is from 15 years ago? Wow, I wouldn't have guessed. The coloring style is very different, but the same basic style that you have today is still very visible then. Never heard of this story. Great blast from the past to see these. :)
