The Ghost Pirate Skeletons of Three Craters Lake is now on comiXology!
HappyGlyphs Comics announces that The Inquiring Minds: The Ghost Pirate Skeletons of Three Craters Lake, is now available in digital form at comiXology.com.  This is a 32 page, full color all-ages comic book adventure.

The Inquiring Minds are three kids (Albert, Bobby, and sometimes Iris) who can usually be found exploring all things strange and unusual in their hometown of Three Craters Lake. This summer, however, they’re going to find plenty of adventure in their own backyard, as Albert, ever seeking fame and fortune, declares that The Inquiring Minds are going to build their own theme park!

            Sounds crazy, but as Iris herself says, “Bobby and Albert just don’t know enough to let anything stop them!”

            When the town’s Mayor decides to check things out, their success, or possible failure, comes down to one ride... The Ghost Pirate Skeletons of Three Craters Lake!

“With comiXology,” says creator John Steventon, “fans can read the comic book on any digital platform that has the comiXology app, and pick up where they left off on one device to another.  It’s simple, easy to use, and you can zoom in on the artwork and pick up on details you may have missed in the print book.”

Produced by HappyGlyphs Comics, The Ghost Pirate Skeletons of Three Craters Lake is a One Shot Summer Special designed to introduce the series to an expanded audience.  Those familiar with the Inquiring Minds will be thrilled to see them in their first full length story, while new fans will really get to see these characters in action. The Inquiring Minds have appeared in their own series of all ages, kid friendly web-comics, which spawned a comic strip collection entitled The Inquiring Minds: Funny Pages #1 and two eBooks available for the Kindle App.  Individual cartoons have been featured in a book about the great Underground Railroad, as well as an 8^th Grade Literature textbook.

Fans can learn more about The Inquiring Minds and other great HappyGlyphs Comics at http://www.HappyGlyphs.com, online bookstores like Amazon.com and Lulu.com, and at various comic conventions such as Comic Con International in San Diego

Art for this comic is available upon request.

Incentives

HappyGlyphs Comics is having a fundraiser to help get our new comic book, The Ghost Pirate Skeletons of Three Craters Lake, finished, published, and hopefully distributed in comic book stores.

But we're not just asking for your cash... we're offering some cool rewards as a special thank you for your help.  I'll post some here, and some, like the EXCLUSIVE new book we're offering, will get it's own post later.

To begin with, we have an awesome set of postcards for you to collect or share with friends, and a HappyGlyphs Fridge Magnet featuring our two mascots, the HappyGlyphs Sheep, and the Alien Robot from the cover of The Inquiring Minds: Funny Pages #1.

I am also offering an opportunity to own one-of-a-kind original art, from the comic book itself, and from other projects.These are the actual drawings, in ink on 2 ply art stock paper, so once they're gone, that's it.    The first three below are actually offered at the kickstarter right now, so may go at any time. The next are select pieces of art that I may add later if there's interest.  Please let me know if anything catches your eye.  (please note that the last piece has a tear in the top layer of paper, down near the signature).
