Name's Not Down (comic story)
Name's Not Down was a standalone Jenny Everywhere comic story written by David Barnett and John Miers. It is believed to have been the first of the original Barbelith Jenny Everywhere stories to be released, although My Bloody Valentine was begun first. It also introduced Jenny's friends Clea, Lex and Bradley and the town of Right-On By The Sea, which would recur in other stories, in an effort to establish a potential setting and status-quo for the Shifter.

Plot
Jenny Everywhere and her friends Clea, Lex and Bradley, who, together, form the band of Right-On By The Sea's most notorious chaotic troublemakers, try to get into an exclusive concert, but the bouncer insists that their name's not on the list — even though Jenny was pretty sure she had tricked Nathan, the promoter, into letting her come. The bouncer ends up touching the limits of Jenny's patience…
