I finished the actual lettering on my last issue of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark for Claypool Comics today. I still have to paste it up, whenever the boards roll in, and I'll still be doing Deadbeats. But it's a bit of a milestone.
Elvira was the regular project that, as much as anything else, allowed me to leave the Salt Mines (better known as the Markell Company) and regular employment for the Wild West that is the World de Freelance. You can think what you like about the property, I make no judgments about the book. But it was good work, regular work, and I'm a better letterer for the almost ten years I spent lettering her adventures. Fortunately, I have enough work to fill the void, but that doesn't mean I won't miss the Mistress of the Dark.
I got to meet Elvira in person a couple years back at the Claypool 10th anniversary panel in San Diego a couple years back. She was nothing but sweet, and very funny. IMDB says there are a couple of Elvira projects in the works for her. Hope she's doing well.
