Sequart.com's History
Sequart.com began in 1996 in the form of various writings on comics by Julian Darius on his persnoal website. Within a few years, Darius had created The Continuity Pages, initially undecorated informational tables. After his website became PersianCaesar.com in February 2001, essays and articles by Darius joined The Continuity Pages, increasingly graphical, to comprise his site's largest and most successful section. In late August 2002, these materials formed the basis of ContinuityPages.com. With its distinct identity, ContinuityPages.com began accepting the work of other writers. At its launch, it featured the review column Optic Verve by Matt Martin and the column Sequential Culture by Julian Darius. The site grew with remarkable speed for such a small but dedicated operation. Beginning in early January 2003, ContinuityPages.com could also be accessed through ContinuityPage.com (in case the address was mistyped). ContinuityPages.com passed the 100,000 visits mark in February 2003, the 200,000 visits mark in May, and the 300,000 visits mark in August. August 2003 also saw the debut of the review column New Comics Day by Bryan Miller. A news column, The Comics Blotter by Julian Darius, premiered in late October 2003. In November, ContinuityPages.com passed the 400,000 visits mark. In January 2004, the site surpassed half a million visitors since its August 2002 launch. Jeff Chon's Arbiter of Good Taste, reviewing graphic novels and trade paperbacks, debuted in March 2004. In April 2004, ContinuityPages.com became Sequart.com in order to better express its identity as an umbrella containing The Continuity Pages as well as copious other materials on comics.
