Scryptic Studios
Scryptic Studios (or simply, ''Scryptic'') is a website created by a group of comic book writers as a massive resource for comic book writers to network, research stories, read news and columns, and find script samples. The etymology of the title, Scryptic (pronounced skrip-tik), is the combination of the words ''SCRIPT'' (for writing) and ''CRYPTIC'' (for secret); so the title literally translates to: ''SECRET WRITING''. Scryptic was created in June 2004 by five writers, Jeffery Stevenson, Jim Keplinger (ShadowHawk, Genie), Kevin Melrose, Dan Taylor, and led by Ryan Scott Ottney (The Legend of Isis, Bikini Bandits). Other contributors to the site have included Drew Melbourne ( ArchEnemies), Neil Kleid, Brant Fowler, and many others. In October 2005, Scryptic Studios announced a deal with Write Brothers, Inc in which Scryptic would officially endorse and support Write Brothers' products, and in exchange Write Brothers would promote Scryptic as their official comic book reso ...

Comic Book
A comic book, also called comicbook, comic magazine or (in the United Kingdom and Ireland) simply comic, is a publication that consists of comics art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes. Panels are often accompanied by descriptive prose and written narrative, usually, dialogue contained in word balloons emblematic of the comics art form. "Comic Cuts" was a British comic published from 1890 to 1953. It was preceded by "Ally Sloper's Half Holiday" (1884) which is notable for its use of sequential cartoons to unfold narrative. These British comics existed alongside of the popular lurid "Penny dreadfuls" (such as "Spring-heeled Jack"), boys' " Story papers" and the humorous Punch (magazine) which was the first to use the term "cartoon" in its modern sense of a humorous drawing. The interweaving of drawings and the written word had been pioneered by, among others, William Blake (1757 - 1857) in works such as Blake's "The Descent Of Christ" ...

''Isis'' is an American comic book character based on the goddess of the same name from Ancient Egyptian religion. Originally published by Image Comics, she has since been moved to her creator Darren G. Davis's publication of Bluewater Productions. Originally published in February 2002 in a one-shot issue by Image Comics, Isis later appeared in '' The 10th Muse'' #10 and ''The Odyssey'' #1 - both by Tidal Wave Studios and Avatar Press.
