Writers Colin Bryan and Emily Kieson have completed their first graphic novel, 86 Plots, and are looking for some help in making it a reality. The artist and colorist is Kelsey Shannon (Batman Adventures, X-Men Unlimited, Bastard Samurai, Invincible, and many more), but at over 200 pages this is the largest project he has ever done. 86 Plots has become a labor of love for all three contributors.
Description: a thriller oozing with mystery, history, and violence. I’ve been describing it for a while as a cross between Sherlock Holmes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Scooby-Doo. Smart and classy enough for sophisticates, yet sexy and bloody enough for everyone.
Here’s a short video to give you a better idea of what 86 Plots is all about:
The status of the graphic novel as of September 1, 2011 is as follows: Layouts and primary pencils complete. Final pencils, inking, and color are complete through page 29. This leaves 173 pages left to go through the finishing stages. The cover and a few other pages will have to be designed and completed in addition to these. (Inside the front and back covers, and a pin-up gallery in the back are good examples and common in graphic novels.)
So the project is looking for backers on Kickstarter.
