I found this ad on the net warning artists about this company
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>ATTENTION ARTIST---There is a bad company contacting artist through this very site. Company names given: Syco Comics, Illusion Comics Productions, and Seventh Seal Comics. People involved: Melissa Gathers and Mr. Stacy L. Harris. They operate out of Jacksonville, Florida. They contacted me and offered to let me pencil and ink a book called THE WARE to be published by IMAGE COMICS. They offered a five hundred dollar signing bonus, and a page rate of seventy dollars a page. After designing and sending them five pages of art, and a cover with logo design, plus three character designs--they took the art and never paid me anything. They stalled for months, tried to change the payment to lower rates, and stalled on sending out a promised contract. They also lied to the colorist they offered a page rate of sixty dollars a page to. Please be wary of these folks trying to get something for nothing out of eager artists. Feel free to email me about this. Thank you!
