About Caption Box

Originally founded by A. David Lewis in 2000 as Serious About Comics, Caption Box has since grown also to encompass both academic and creative comic book works. Serving alternatively as either studio imprint or complete self-publishing house, Caption Box first printed through Red Eye Press of California to produce Mortal Coils in 2002, followed by its trade paperback collection Mortal Coils: Bodylines in 2004, and the original graphic novel The Lone and Level Sands in 2005. All along, though, Caption Box also has remained faithful to its academic side, with Lewis speaking at conferences nationwide, contributing to The International Journal of Comic Art (for which he is now an Editorial Board member), and founding the Ever-Ending Battle research project.

As a small press, Caption Box has had the excellent opportunity to feature the work of artists such as Evan Quiring, Jason Copland (Western Tales of Terror), Jason Narvaez, Dan Cooney (Valentine), James Woodward (Crazy Mary), Ed Dukeshire (Sword of Dracula), Jesus Barony (Grundlands), Joanne Mutch (Rummblestrips), Chris Moreno (Dracula Vs. King Arthur), Taki Soma, and mpMann (Arcana Jane). In its scholarly capacity, Lewis has partnered Caption Box with the International Comic Arts Association (ICAA), Newsarama.com’s The Pulse, the National Association of Comic Art Educators (NACAE), BrokenFrontier.com, the Popular/American Culture Association (PCA/ACA), University of Florida’s Comic Scholars List, the Gaiman Archive, and Dr. Gene Kannenberg’s ComicsResearch.org.

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.
