Right now I’m in the middle of putting together a submission for Image Comics, along with a very talented artist bloke from the US.
Image are the third biggest comic book publisher in the world (after Marvel and DC), but uniquely allow creators to hold onto their characters, rather than signing them over before publication. This means all rights to the characters I create will stay with me, unlike if I was to sign with DC or Marvel.
The main character of my mini-series is a private detective called Dan Green, who later assumes the nickname “Gangrene”, which is also the series title. Here’s the start of the synopsis, which will give you some idea of the concept:
Two weeks ago, private investigator Dan Green clawed his way free from a shallow grave. With his body and neck scarred by deep stab wounds, Dan was amazed to still be alive.
A few hours later, he discovered he wasn’t. A mysterious man-made virus had brought Dan back from beyond the grave, trapping his fully working intellect inside the rotting body of a murdered corpse.
Now Dan must take on his last case, and race to rescue a kidnapped child, before his body decomposes once and for all.
So that’s the general idea behind it all. As a special treat – and since I’ve been so evasive about what I’m currently working on for Egmont – I’m making the first 7 pages of the script for issue 1 available here. Just click the link below to download. You’ll need Adobe Reader to be able to view it.
