Wil Wheaton Goes Webcomic With ‘1981’
Actor and InterWebs celebrity Wil Wheaton informed fans today that "Blue Light Special," a story he wrote in 2006, has been adapted into an episode of the collaborative webcomic BlogJam.
In the strip, Wheaton relates a story about the toy that "defined his childhood" — in this case, Star Wars action figures. Wheaton helped write the strip, titled "1981," and BlogJam’s Greg Williams provided the art.
There’s a stable link to "1981" accessible via Flickr, while the BlogJam submission guidelines and archive of past webcomics are available on the BlogJam website. BlogJam takes submissions for story ideas from readers, and selected stories are adapted into webcomic form by Williams.
