Welcome weary traveler of the inter-webs! I am Glen Specter, master of this realm. Have
you come seeking thrills? Excitement? Guilty pleasure perhaps? If so – BEGONE!
I’m not interested in pandering to your ‘lol-speak’ or posting pin-ups of
fictional females for you to gawk at! Go look at Cheezburger or Deviant
Art for that. Tell them old man Specter sent you!
PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG
My mission
here is simple – to record on this ‘web log’ (or blog, as some of my more
tech-savvy bond-servants call them), the labours I endure to create a comic book
I have titled “The Uncanny Deadkind”!
WHAT IS "THE UNCANNY DEADKIND"?
If you
enjoy zombies and superheroes, and are of rational mind and of moderately
attractive visage, you will find something of interest here. For “The Uncanny Deadkind” is a tale of Jack O'Brien, a man who finds his calling as a hero just
as the world collapses into a zombie apocalypse. When Jack is bitten by a
zombie and falls dead, he is resurrected not as a mindless corpse, but as a
being with strange superpowers. Finding others like him amongst the ruins of
society, Jack gathers these 'Deadkind' together into a team of unlikely superheroes called
“the Specters” (catchy, eh?), fighting against the forces of darkness, and
searching for the answer behind the mystery of the zombie outbreak.
WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THIS BLOG
Here you
will witness my journey from concept, to script, to full-blown final artwork,
which I hope you might find interesting, pedagogical, and (if the rising moon
aligns with Shaggoth’s will) entertaining enough for you to return, post after
zombie-filled post.
My ultimate
goal is the production of a final comic book, which I may pitch to Image Comics
or some other creator-friendly organization. But, failing that, I might take a more
independent publishing route. Only time will tell. I hope you tarry long enough
to witness my journey – its triumphs, its pitfalls, and its failures – so that
we may carry each other to its bitter end.
A warning,
however – my old mind tends to wander (perhaps from years of playing Candy
Crush), so I might post things unrelated to my comic book, but related to
zombies and superheroes in general. For I love these things like any fanboy
loves his Mountain Dew. And since this is my blog, try and stop me!
BOOWAHHAAHAA!
{Cough! Ack!
Cough!}
Away with
you! The cobwebs in my mind grow denser, and I weary of our discourse.
Don’t forget to subscribe to me, for I’m told that it is important to build a
‘following’ (although I always thought blood sacrifice to Darumu did that, but
what’s an old man to know!)
Yours In
