Notes:
[john peters]: I was a bit of a Buzzboy fan after meeting Mr. Gallagher at some convention or other. I was lucky enough to get to do the cover.
Dream Angel Pandora went through a very fast evolution at the time. I saw Aaron McClellan's design for DAP only once before at another show [it was in a fire hall, i think]. Aaron drew the origin piece for the SPX '99 book. Soon after I was able to do the DAP story for Independant Voices #2, which introduced the nightmare figures of Wint & Kidd who appear in this book, but since i saw DAP's costume design only once I re-designed it for that short story. I believe Mr. Gallagher based this DAP design on a few glimpses of my story... and I did the cover drawing based on uninked Gallagher pages, giving her a fourth look in only a few short months.
There are plans in the works to do a Dream Angel Pandora One-shot comic called Queen of Mice, with no scheduled release date. Yet.
