The Beast of Wolfe's Bay: Graphic Novel Kickstarter Campaign

4/27/2012

6 Comments

 
For all of you out there interested in indie comics, I have a new project coming out, called The Beast of Wolfe's Bay. I'm raising funds for the initial print run through kickstarter, a crowdfunding website that supports creative projects.
The Beast of Wolfe’s Bay is an adventure/sci-fi story with a splash of comedy, folklore, and romance mixed in for good measure. It’s a one-shot graphic novel, not a series, so you’ll get a thick, full-color book for your bookshelf, if people still have those.

The hero of the story is a young guy named Brian Wegman. Brian is a grad student in anthropology who just can’t seem to finish his PhD. He’s been in school forever, and his advisor is starting to get on his case about it. But despite this, he’s an expert on paleoanthropology.

Brian is called in to consult on a strange murder case in the small, lakeside town he once called home. A bunch of frat boys were killed while partying on spring break, with some strange evidence that suggests the murderer might not exactly be human. Brian must use his expertise to identify the creature, and then join forces with the local police to seek the monster out and destroy it. Along for the adventure are Sheriff Gary Roth, a no-nonsense investigator, his deputies, and his daughter, Winifred, an energetic young folklore professor with an encyclopedic knowledge of the urban legends of the region. It’s basically Beowulf, starring a bunch of nerds. Also, Sasquatch.

"There's no data measuring how effective Kickstarter is in sprouting new businesses and jobs. But since 2008, more than $150 million has been pledged to projects ranging from technology and publishing to art, restaurants, and film. Already this year, several projects have raised a million dollars or more and have spawned successful products. Kickstarter spokesman Justin Kazmark says the company was founded on the idea that there is value in ideas beyond making money. But the site helps connect creative entrepreneurs with a supportive audience." (from Tom Robertson, MPR)

If you'd like to donate to the campaign, you can get special rewards running from simple (a PDF or print copy of the book) to special (your face drawn into the story, individual commissions, sponsorship). The project only succeeds if the total amount is raised -- even a dollar less results in a failed campaign! So please help -- and help spread the word!
