Been rather busy lately, but wanted to drop a short note to let folks know that my friend Darlene has finally released a printed volume of The Story of Jasmine, her fantasy graphic novel (“comic” seems to reductive) that first appeared in Dragon Magazine for a short run in 1980 and she has been continuing in recent years!

I met Darlene for the first time back in 2019, when I ordered a copy of her very impressive, ahead-of-its-time card game Jasmine: The Battle for the Mid-Realm Collector Card Game. By a happy coincidence, Darlene lives relatively close to me, so we met up so that she could teach me the game, and we’ve been friends ever since! (And kept in regular contact during pandemic isolation to keep our sanity!)

Darlene has been continuing her story of Jasmine on Patreon for the past few years, and decided it was time to release a print version of the story so far. It is a charming and intriguing fantasy tale, and at the same time a wonderful part of fantasy history!

The link I shared above is for print-on-demand copies of Jasmine, but if you happen to be going to GaryCon this week, Darlene will be there with some copies available!
