You can buy this issue at http://www.the-agencies.com/agencies/issue_ten.htm






Our web site where you can buy all sorts of tickle ecomics is at www.the-agencies.com.

Our main comic universe is The Agencies, and features several issues of tickle torture, intrigue, and action. It's a spy thriller type of comic set in the near future. This post is about issue ten in that comic universe. I can't believe we actually made it to issue ten. Our first issue released in July 2002, so four years later and we finally got to issue ten. It's been a fairly eventful four years. Now that we've secured the art team for this comic universe, we hope to get on a regular schedule for these books, so that we're publishing them every four months or so. Issue nine released middle of April, so we're right on schedule.

This issue continues the story where issue nine left off. The series really started with issue seven, and it will continue one storyline forever. Issue ten's title is "Do Ghosts have Ticklish Souls?" This issue will take care of a couple recurring requests we've had in the past: more foot tickling, and nylon tickling. This issue covers both in spades. I'm tight lipped about the scripts and what happens to whom and where and such, but foot lovers will really like this issue. I have run it by a couple of foot loving fans, and both didn't have any suggested changes to make to the pages they saw. That's a good sign from where I'm sitting.

I am hoping to have this issue available for sale August 11th. A lot can happen between now and then, but that's my initial forecast. Issue Ten is a ten-page issue, like all our future issues. It will cost the same as issue nine, and I have no short term plans to change the prices.

So the story begins after Agent Deadline's failed rescue attempt of Agent Succubus in Issue Nine. As The Agency sent out Agent Deadline as a rescuer, they also sent out Miss Rachel Ghost to try and rescue Agent Starlight at the same time. Starlight had been held captive by her old friend turned enemy Karma, and Karma had imagined all sorts of torments to put her fair heroine through in the recent weeks. Miss Rachel Ghost is one of the Agencies top agents, but will she succeed in freeing poor Agent Starlight? And what will happen to Succubus, as Yin and Yang take an immediate dislike to her presence in their base? Time will tell.



Here's an inked shot of Agent Succubus as she's totally snowed over Boss Kazazumi. Yin and Yang, who are Kazazumi's top assassins and torturers, look on in disgust as their formerly hardcore underground boss is turned to mush with the arrival of this blonde newcomer. These two are as sadistic as they come, and they slowly plot their vengence. I like the layout of this shot quite a bit. I love the looks that the twins give to Succubus. There's nothing there except unveiled hatred and jealously against Succubus. They're a couple of cats just waiting for their moment to pounce.

This is just a quick colorized panel of Miss Rachel Ghost as she's infiltrating the corporate world in order to rescue Agent Starlight. She meets Tom here. Tom's a bit of a sleezebag, is as evidenced later.

Another quick colorized shot of a scantily clad tickler about to do some fun things to a pair of feet.

A neat shot of Karma, doing what she does best: looking over a pair of soft, ticklish soles. Karma is a great character to write...she's a sadistic red head that has a huge chip on her shoulder, and loves to take out her past vendettas against Agents. How much more fun is there than that?

I will post more to this book as production comes to an end and we get really close to the release date.



Below is the cover artwork for issue seven, which can be purchased today. I would advise anyone planning on purchasing issue ten to also purchase issues 7-9 to get a good background on what's going on.

The artwork is, of course, fantastic. Your artist is exceptionally talented. And although I'm an upper-body fan (nude even better) you can count on me to help with another purchase 😉

I'm also really looking forward to Issue 11 and 12, especially if you use some of the ideas I proposed. :wavingguy

Here's to mid-August!
 
You have some good input, and I'm going to try and write in some of those ideas for issue 12. It's always fun to write in pieces of a script that you wouldn't ordinarily do 🙂

I'll be posting more finalized pieces of artwork from this book as they become available and pass review. And I'll blather a bit more about the production process, for those interested in such.

Hopefully you'll be very pleasantly surprised by our brand new comic line in the works. It's hush hush for now, though.
 
even though I am not a big foot fan(hell with so much stuff involving feet here I have started disliking it a little) I will of course continue to purchase these comics. that is when I get my credit problem handled. i still have not gotten 8 or 9, but in a few months everything should be all good.
 
Here's a few more shots from the upcoming issue. It will be available a bit sooner than expected. I had said above August 11th, there's an outside chance it might be ready as soon as August 4th. We'll make the announcement when it's officially for sale.




Here's a fun penciled action sequence. I've included three stages in the artistic process: initial storyboarding, cleanup just before the inking, and the colorized final product. It's Miss Rachel Ghost kicking the crap out of Tom. The sequence continues from here, but it's something I really like in this book. Why is she beating on him? You'll find out soon enough...

This is a panel of Miss Rachel Ghost taking on Karma. Rachel doesn't look very happy here. I wonder what could have set her off.

A cutaway to a couple of observers walking down the hallway at the moment when someone's having a couple chuckles.

Here's a great shot of Yang (in the red) and Yin (in blue) as they're saying hello to our poor little Agent Deadline. I didn't give the artistic team much direction with Yin/Yang's new costumes. I knew I wanted to steer away from the costumes they had in issue eight. They just weren't very sexy or appealing. So I told them as much, and this is what they came up with, and I have to say I'm pleased. Very simple, but sexy way to show off their curves.

Yin and Yang definitely look hot :woot:

I agree 🙂 I might have to make some interesting plans with them down the road.

We're still looking at a August 11th release date. I hope it doesn't get pushed back, the artists have been working furiously to get the final pages completed on time. It's coming up quick!

Just a follow up. Do you still think you'll have issue #11 out today? If not, any idea when. This latest series of stories/art competes with the VU series as most anticipated, in my book.

Yes, we are still planning on releasing today. I received final versions of the cover and pinup yesterday, and have spent last night and a bit of time today getting the web site ready for the sale.

We won't be heavily marketing it for a few days, but it will be available for sale 🙂
 
Well, I've ordered my copy... now I hacve to wait the bazillion years for PayPal to clear it...

I did notice the Tickle Rating was 46... which is, honestly, less that I was hoping for. I hope the TR for #10 is higher, because it *is* a tickle comic 😉

Personally, I'd love to see a TR of 90 to 95.... :woot:

It's a tough call. I'm working on a 10-12 page comic for the zone and I'm really wrestling with how much story to trim down so as to get right to the
tickling (or in my case tickling/gas.) As I commented in BZ's thread, story and writing iare crucial, but you hit on a very good point...these are TICKLE comics.
-Webmaster Joe
 
I understand your concern TF, and trust me you're not alone in that assessment at all. I know a lot of people would like to see the tickle ratings in the 90+ range.

I have another comic line in the works that's going to be closer to those kinds of numbers. Not quite 90, that's borderline ridiculous (just from the perspective of a writer). But easily in the 60-80 range.

I want to experiment with both kinds of stories. Right now I prefer stories with good character development and build up (let's face it, I really look forward to closing up the story that's been building in issues 8-10 with the tension between Succubus and Yin/Yang). And when it does, I want it to be somewhat spectacular, and hopefully our readers will agree. And it's much tougher to do those kinds of things when you're running books that constantly have 90+ tickle ratings. There's just very little room to build any sort of attachment or association with the characters. I'd like them to be more than just fetish objects.

However, as I've said above, I think there's room for both methods in our little publishing house, and I'd love to explore the other, more darker, more sexual, more fetishistic side of our interest in another comic line. But it "probably" won't happen like that for The Agencies any time soon. I just like the characters too much, and want to give them as much life as possible.

But I do want to thank you for your feedback. This isn't a corporate form letter "Thank you for your inquiry into Agency Publishing comics" etc etc. We really do like our readers' feedback, and I've taken to heart this very sentiment over the years, and hopefully it will result in something that you guys will like.
 
I know I'm certainly looking forward to seeing Succubus get her long overdue comeupance. Might I suggest a healthy dose of laughing gas? ;-) At the very least, those beautifully drawn boobs require special attention!

-ps that bag of unmarked 20's is in the alley behind the laundrymat.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

I will definitely try to get more nylon foot scenes put into future issues, since it is a highly requested area. You guys provided me with some pretty good detail in PM's and email, so feel free to keep those request details coming.
