Alexander goes into hiding for The Low Life. Which doesn’t mean nothing’s happening! But first we get the exposition I cut from last issue, and something I haven’t done a lot of -- showing a bit of someone’s life outside of Alexander.

The djinn, I admit, snuck up on me -- he wasn’t in the original outline for the issue. But then I found out what the Wicked has been dealing with for the last few months, so naturally Alexander’s going to get involved.

Other obligations make it doubtful that #18 will be out in December. I may have a couple of short After Dark releases. Expect the regular production schedule to resume in the new year.

Edit: Thanks to Synthph for correcting my terrible German!
