Dear Reader/Artist/inker/penciller/co-writer/letterist
I am a writer who has worked on prose and several comics, but no published work as of yet, although with my project David and the Dark, me and my team are currently prepping the project for potential publication with Adhouse Comics. I can send my work on David and the Dark as a reference if you wish. You can see much of my work here at www.artificialcomix.com, where most of the comics have been written by me, though not drawn. I have also worked on a superhero comic called Supercosmic, which can be found at http://supercosmic212.blogspot.com/, also not drawn by me, I'm a terrible artist.
The comic I am about to pitch involves a man who is a bit by a vampire and is given HIV by said vampire. Upon tracking down the vampire through "Smelling" her "blood trail" (An ability he has due to almost becoming a vampire) he finds the vampire and her sister curled up sleeping in a minivan, and they reveal to him that they are just normal girls dealing with their vampirism and having been kicked of their house by their parents. They have been subsisting on blood since they were expelled from their home. He later adopts the kids after speaking with their parents and finding that the parents are unwilling to raise vampire children, but agree to sign off on adoption papers and even give their daughters the minivan they stole as a final gift to them. The man (Ashley Holmes) afterwards searches for vampires, at first to apologize to the victims of his adopted daughters, later out of curiousity and to search for the legendary "Elder Vampire" who can live forever, and has supposedly risen above blood cravings. Throughout the series the man deals with raising daughters, hunting down vampires, and juggling his business on the side. His daughters travel with him and act as "Heavies" fighting vampires that Ashley himself does not have the strength to fight.
I have many ideas for this comic, and even have a character list, a list of what vampires can and cannot do in this comic, as well as a 6 chapter story outline. What I have given is just a synopsis.
I also have a comedy idea about aliens in wooden spaceships that is more of a "newspaper comic" idea, which involves aliens who travel to Earth as refugees and have technology that is both advanced and inferior at the same time, having developed interstellar travel and other technologies with out the use of metals, electricity, or combustion.
I have another idea concerning a dark comedy involving a girl who dies upon being killed by the supervising teacher by making too much noise during her SAT exam and becomes a boy's guardian angel in order to get into heaven.
My last idea involves a world where, after a human dies, they go to a world where they are reincarnated as an animal. This is a fantasy comic that involves several kingdoms, with each animal playing its own role, as in the predators being the hunters and warriors, creatures like deer being nomads and others, like mice, being intellectuals and messengers as well as diplomats.
Again I have only given synopsisies, and have other material I can give to you upon request. Especially with the last idea, of which I have the most material, with several finished scripts and accompanying short stories.
Am eager to hear responses to my ideas. Please note that I am willing to work on other ideas and that I am looking to publish the completed project. For artists, I am willing to pay after I go back to work (I am off now and am not getting paid) because I understand that some of you artists have difficulty paying the bills and are unwilling to risk refusal by a publishing company. However, I am working off a budget, and can only pay so much. And also, please recognize that I am quite poor myself, so if you can afford to give it a go and see if we can get a publisher and both get paid, I would appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Robert Finch
