Having that content be free is key to getting new or under-appreciated artists in front more eyes and helping us to get people to buy their work.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to mark this milestone, Scott Saavedra (Dr. Radium) will be creating all new original stories set in his Java Town universe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fans of Java Town may recall that its previous incarnation was in the form of six issues published from 1992-1996 by SLG Publishing. The actual Java Town stories featured in these six issues were \u00ab\u00a0about a doomed love affair in an over-the-top coffee-centric 50s-esque world,\u00a0\u00bb as Saavedra puts it. Over the course of its six issues, Java Town evolved into a pseudo magazine full of fake ads and esoteric commentary. \u00ab\u00a0Java Town was a strange beast,\u00a0\u00bb admits Saavedra, \u00ab\u00a0each issue featured random, often coffee-focused, comic strips including a regular Java Town strip about the trials and tribulations of a coffee-loving character named Joe. Each issue would also contain odd news, strange vintage ephemera, and random tid-bits. It was very idiosyncratic&#8211;sort of a blog but on paper.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In its new format, Java Town will be focusing strictly on the comic strip aspect that involves Joe and his coffee-loving adventures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Java Town will debut next Thursday, July 24th at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slgcomic.com\">www.slgcomic.com<\/a> with a four page installment, followed by an update every Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SLG Publishing is a San Jose, CA based publisher of comic books, graphic novels and related merchandise. Established in 1986 some of SLG&rsquo;s more notable comics and creators have included Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez, Lenore by Roman Dirge, Milk &amp; Cheese by Evan Dorkin and Zombies Calling by Faith Erin Hicks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ENGLISH] SLG Publishing will be launching a brand new section on their website dedicated to web comics at
