Copperhead Blues- Title page and intro

This short comic was supposed to make its rounds with me at SPX in 2007. The only wrinkle in that plan being that I wasn't able to attend. It remained on hold because it was tapped to be printed last year. However, the publication has had to battle the same financial dragons everyone else has. I've wanted to let this one see the light of day for some time especially since I'm twisting my arm to sit down and commit to new comics. The good people at the publication gave their blessing so here it is. With any luck, it will be a good lead in to the next piece I'm working on and allow feedback that could help the new piece before I get into the meat of the visuals. Constructive criticism anyone?
