I have a great story idea for a comic book series. It is a fresh new adventure with a deep story line. I have questioned Dark Horse comics and a few others about submitting the idea to them. They have all responded that they are not allowed to use outside submissions for the Star Wars line due to contract terms. I do not need them however to make this a reality. My uncle knows and executive publisher in CA very well. He said that if I could come up with even a rough draft then he would take it to him. He said they are always very interested in new ideas and stories. I already have an in with them as they are currently looking over several t-shirt designs I have to make humorous t-shirts for amputees.
What is needed right now is some one who can write scripts or just able to take a story and turn it into comic style dialog.
Must be skilled in character building, suspense, emotion and generally make a good connection with the reader.
I also need artists. Good ones. Comic art today is not the same as it was when my father was a kid. My kids expect a certain level of professionalism and amazement when buying a comic. My son asked me last week how do they make all the cool pictures in one week. The artist or artists must be able to take what is written and bring it out through their drawings.
Color and ink can be done at a later date if we have too, though it would be nice to have a full color comic to submit.
What would be really cool is if this could end up being the FX-Forum Comics. But that is for a later date.
This is a serious undertaking with the possibility of full publishing.
I am also an artist and can help in that area as well. I am great with color.
Also, I am 33 years old I have made a living doing artwork. I have a wife and three kids. So, I am not just some kid with an idea who can't really back what he is saying.
Of course there are no guarantees though the possibility is good. Worse case we end up making a really cool FX-Forum comic book that can be offered here for Fx-Fourm members.
Anyone interested in making this team please PM as there are other details that need to be addressed.
Needed:
Writers
Artist
editors (must be very good with punctuation, spelling and grammar
inkers ( if the artist needs)
Color (if the artist needs)
Printers (ability to make professional comic style pages) I would like to do this without hiring a company for the first few comics. There is lots of paper work if we go outside to do this.
I will post updates as to any other needs or positions filled. There is no money involved at this time. This is simply to make an attempt to get our feet in the door. With luck, well, you never know.
