Franklin, MA - Atlantis Studios is proud to announce the exclusive web publishing agreement for the popular science fiction cult comic HALEY created by JAYMES, beginning in March 2005. Haley is the story of a young woman who dies in an airplane crash only to live on in the afterlife as a time traveler caught in a time game played between God and the devil.

"Haley is Quamtum Leap meets Touched by an Angel meets Sliders.” Says JAYMES. “Haley 'lands' as a human in each story to affect other humans around her. They never see her true face until the end when she delivers her message to the one most affected by her presence. Then she ‘launches’ to somewhere else."

The concept for Haley was created as a way of dealing with the death of Amber Hagermann, the girl for whom the present-day "Amber Alert" is named. When Amber was found dead after her kidnapping and murder in 1996, JAYMES attended the funeral along with several hundred others who had been drawn into this little girl's life. “I was compelled to create a character whose life was affected by early death and by sudden tragedy... but who could fix things for the better.”

Haley is being web-published exclusively by 10-year veteran publisher Atlantis Studios, whose editorial focus is to produce and promote mainstream, full color science fiction, fantasy, superhero, and action-adventure comics and distribute them to a world-wide audience. “Part of our mission is to provide an avenue for innovative new talent in the most cost-effective way possible.” said James Watson, Editor in Chief of Atlantis Studios, “I’ve been a fan of JAYMES work since the first Haley comic back in 1997. Thanks to the internet, we now have a way to showcase this fun and thought-provoking series to fans around the world.”

HALEY will begin it's run in March with the origin story "Learning to Land," which will be posted on-line at www.atlantisstudios.net in the ‘Webcomics’ section. New pages will be posted weekly.
