This blogging format is definitely not the way to read this minicomic. I used a word wraparound technique, where sentences ran from page to page, requiring the reader to flip the book at least 5 times to read the entire piece. The disorienting essay method was employed as a way to share how experiencing a massive earthquake can literally jolt you out of the familiar frames of reference.
6.8 Aftershocks was published Apr. 21, 2001, a couple months after the worst earthquake I've ever experienced. And being a long time Washington State native, I've been through a lot of them, including the 1965 6.5 quake. But the Feb. 2001 event was by far the scariest.
The first print run had a grand total of 15 copies (2 white, 2 pink, 2 red, 3 blue, 3 green, 3 yellow). In June 2005, 5 blue copies were printed as the 1st Danger Room Reprint Ed.
