Raconteur updated today!

Raconteur review

From 88.9 KUCI's The Darkling Eclectica, Michael H. Payne:

Raconteur - Random comics from Karen Luk. They've all be multi-page stories so far, but each one's been self-contained, something of a rarity in this serial-loving medium of ours. Interesting to read and lovely to look at: a winning combination.

Nice! Check out the Darkling Eclectica comics page for more recommendations! There's quite a few current and past Girlamatic creators included.

Raconteur updates!

In case you missed it, Raconteur updated yesterday:
