After almost a month of waiting, Silver Age is back and improved, with a new website , a wider format and an all new look! Follow the adventures of heroes Tim, Bill and 3rd wheel Dave at Silver Age’s new homepage, silverageonline.com.

Since the creation of Eyeskream by Douglas Curtis (Flying Ferret) and I in 2004, I think we’ve created something solid and have done fairly well. But managing a webcomic group is not always easy and demands lots of involvement and dedication. And to be honest I think we can do better.

To assure another five years of activity we needed help and hopefully we found some. Since this February, four other people will help us develop, manage and bring Eyeskream to new heights.

So let me present you, even if you already know them, since they have all been Eyeskream members for 2 years or more, what we’ll now call along with Douglas and I “The Eyeskream Oligarch”:

-   Michael Gregory of Suspicious Minds
-   Nicole C. of Strange Fiction
-   Jack DeLong of Samurai Pride
-   Pavel Lujardo of Future Pig

And to celebrate this we would like to present six really cool wallpapers featuring the main characters of the Oligarch.

February marks that celebration for which you spend all year patiently awaiting with shuddering, hopeful breath.

No, not Groundhog Day.

No, not Valentine’s Day.

No, not Canadian Flag Day.

This is the month we celebrate the creation of the reason the internet was forged, that high pinnacle of art and culture we call the Eyeskream Webcomic Creators Group.

Yes, five years ago, February 9 to be more precise, a handful of visionaries became united in a common vision: a collective that would change the very face of humanity.  Or create a community of dedicated, talented webcartoonists.  Which ever came first.  Wrapped in loincloths and bathed in a god-like sweat, they forged a creation that would be the face…er, eye… of Eyeskream, our beloved mono-eyed, perpetually-shrieking mascot: SKREAMIE. Yes, that’s the one you see above.

The thing is, no one knows how Skreamie came to be.  That’s where YOU get involved.

In honour of Eyeskream’s Fifth Birthday, you can draw, scrawl, paint, sculpt or sketch an ORIGINS OF SKREAMIE STORY in a comic format in order to win a flurry of fabulous prizes.

The Eyeskream artists and manager have mortgaged their homes, and sold bodies and souls in order to put together a pirate’s horde of merchandise, original art, collectibles and other goodies the likes of which you’ve (literally) never seen. Well here is a pic with a complete list of all the prizes below :
