Hello all,
My name's Jojo King. It's been awhile since I posted on of these calls but once again I am in need of a artist! Below I'll tell you a little about myself, what I can offer, and about the story I'm looking to get out there! Thank you all in advance for reading.
I write in a professional comic book format and can have finally (with the help of this forum) gotten my first miniseries published by Coast Comics and due out in February digitally and in print! Also have five other miniseries getting finished up and have publishers looking them over. And I have a short comic appearing in the upcoming anthology "The Midnight Candle".
If you're looking for a writer who knows what he's doing, isn't egotistical and impossibly demanding, then you've clicked the right post! I still am unable to pay up front, and I know a number of you have stopped reading here, which is understandable! I hope so much that once AntiChris is out there I will be able to scrap money I made from that together to start posting paying jobs. However, on the jobs that are posted without pay, I do give the artist 60% of all profits. It's only fair really.
Now onto how this can get published (because for most of us that is a considerably important goal, no?) I always handle the time consuming and monotonous part of the submission process (again, only fair) and I know how to talk to publishers and really present a project professionally. I will submit to many indie publishers and any publisher that the artist had in mind. This step is always discussed by the artist and I. If no publisher picks it up, I can guarantee that this short will be published as a "special feature" or "bonus story" in the aforementioned AntiChris miniseries. This is not our goal but again it's not a bad failure as the story will be published in print and the artist would receive profits on the issue of AntiChris in which the story appeared in.
Now to the story! The title is called, "The Mortality of Mr. Immortal". It is the tale of a broken down super hero named Mr. Immortal. He is the last super hero in the city as it has succumbed to perverse crime, crime that had only been imagined of before in the so called "Golden Age". A villain named Maniac descended upon the city and either killed or scared off the city's colorful and egotistical protectors.
Mr. Immortal, after coming home after failing (again) to capture Maniac, tells the story from beginning and end to his dead wife (Mrs. Amazing) who is frozen in a chamber. We learn of the golden days, the coming of Maniac, and of all the fear, terror, and violence that came with him, resulting in the fall of the heroes.
This is a sad and sobering tale and one that I think carries a strong, resonating message.
I would love to share the script with any artist interested. If you have any questions then please feel free to contact me at: jojokuk@yahoo.com
Thank you all!
