Some new action is afoot over at 01Comics according to this press release we got yesterday:

“Andrew Ford’s acclaimed indy-comic Rib returns at 01Comics.com

January 16, 2006- 01Comics.com is happy to announce that Andrew Ford’s hit 90’s independent comic RIB is now a member of the 01Comics.com family. This is a great way to kick off what is looking to be a banner year for the Digital Publisher, 01Comics.com

“I have known Barry Gregory, president of 01comics.com, for many years and I trust him. I want to work with a person who I trust. I also believe that he truly believes in what I am doing with RIB, this is very important to me,” Said Andrew Ford.

“I created RIB around 1992 and did the mini-comic by myself. When RIB went full-size Michael Kelleher came aboard to illustrate,” said Andrew Ford. “I am very lucky to be working with such a talented individual. We were invited to do a RIB short story for the Negative Burn anthology (which was published at that time by Caliber Comics). After that Caliber offered to publish the regular RIB series. We agreed and 5 (actually 6) issues were published, which was the first 120 page storyline,””
