Colonel Madder seems to have a shrewd view of the view that Emil Strangeways likely takes of himself.

The last of Lon’s character designs for Invisible Girl, Heroine. Colonel Jeremiah Madder, brother to the late senator. A genuine war hero. A man who gave his legs in the service of his country. And yet, something has gone…not quite right with him.

Lon designed no fewer than six young women inmates of the State Home for Wayward Girls. Let’s face it, even standing on its own the Women in Prison genre is a rich field for exploitation, to say nothing of when it collides with mad science, so at least six seems about right. (I refer to them collectively as the Waywards, which might also be a good name for band.) Here is the first of them, Colleen.

Progress in Research will be posting out here through 6 August 2012, a minor departure from our customary practice of concluding a chapter on or before the month-end. We’re changing up slightly just because with various obligations that Lon and I have over the summer it makes sense to keep posting at a relaxed pace of no more than one page per day; furthermore the last chapter of Progress in Research is slightly long and the first of the next volume, Invisible Girl, Heroine, is slightly short, so this pace will enable us to keep our schedule fairly straight by the end of August.
In the meantime, though, don’t fear, as there’s bonus content coming. Over the several days I shall be posting out a series of character designs Lon did for Invisible Girl, Heroine, in hopes of pleasing all you readers and perhaps interesting you in the narrative in which they will be taking part.
The first of these comes today, Warden Ridgeway, the stern-looking chief of the State Home for Wayward Girls, a carceral institution located just out side of Pleasant Prairie, in which some sinister goings-on will be, well, going on.
