...The Comic Book File Presents..

SEPTEMBER 2009

Editorial...

Welcome to our second issue of "Variant Girl:  Your Preeeminent Comic Book Ezine."  We here at Variant Girl are constantly updating our own skills and developing this website, our blog and our print magazine.  

Our apologies for the length of time between issues this time around.  With the summer came vacations of contributors, our web designer and our graphic artist.  As such, along with some technical difficulties we've experienced, we are pleased to be back on track.  

We will be continuing, over the coming months, to experiment with the format and soliciting your opinion. We want to make this a resource for our readership that you all enjoy coming to, reading and being entertained.

Enjoy & Peace,

Variant Girl.
