So, to get this blog up and running, I'm going to start what I hope will be a frequent topic and that is to post a graphic novel concept I've had percolating in my head for awhile.
MS. BIGFOOT & THE CRYPTIDS is, in my mind, an action-oriented, fun adventure story for juveniles to adults to enjoy that also teaches a little basic science and critical thinking.
This is the basic concept:
A team of freelance adventurers/monster hunters. funded and housed by a mysterious Dr. Mothman, whom they've never met of face-to-face before and, of course, has a hidden agenda/real reason for gathering this group together. Stated purpose is to go out and either disprove or attempt to recruit from new reports of Cryptid sightings.
MS. BIGFOOT
-- a female apelike creature from the upper northwest. Educated, feminine, and tough. The natural leader of the group.
SKUNK APE
-- a male, apelike creature from the deep South around the Carolinas. Uneducated, not too bright but very strong and agile, speaks with a drawl and an unfortunately pungent body odor.
OGOPOGO
-- a male bipedal creature from the Northeast with a reptilian/amphibious look to him. Can transform, though, into a full-on huge sea serpent/dragon form.
EL CHUPACABRA
-- a male bipedal creature from the lower southwest/mexican border with a canine look to him. Think of him as a Were-Coyote.
THUNDERBIRD
-- a female bipedal creature from the Midwest. Appears like a normal Native-American woman except for the colorful and huge feathered wings she sports.
An added visual possibility of the JERSEY DEVIL which is a winged horse creature. I could see that as a useful addition as well.
I haven't fleshed it out much beyond this basic info, but I could see this as a stand-alone story or an ongoing series of stories.
