Starting in February, 2005, Kiss Machine will be publishing two special 24-page issues per year under the new Kiss Machine Presents... line. These "graphic novellas" will feature the work of one Canadian writer and one Canadian artist per issue.

We've already selected the duos who will fill our printing schedule for the next couple years, and they're hard at work on inky, stinky creations. We hope their collaborations encourage more women to work in this graphical medium. We know they'll bring new meaning to the old adage "a picture speaks a thousand words."
