Martians invaded Concrete, Washington back in the 1930’s or so the legend goes!
Concrete is in the beautiful North Cascades north of Seattle. This Pacific Northwest legend is the inspiration for a comic book just waiting for publisher.
Mitch Cook is a fellow comic book reader and co-worker (our day jobs) with a dream of being published. Mitch has been a big supporter of getting ComicsBlend up and running so I’m hoping to help you see his unique tale in your own hands!
Concrete Martians is the story of small town nightmares inspired by true events. It’s the kind of creepy cool story Mulder and Scully of The X-Files would have loved digging into and you will too. If you enjoyed the stories of real panic inspired by the radio broadcasts of The War of Worlds this story has that flavor but with its own dark and clever twists.
I love how the artist captured the small town 1930’s feel. Enjoy this tale of paranoia, bizarre circumstances and the power of mass media on a small town. Hopefully Concrete Martians will be invading your comic book shop one day soon! Go
Mitch and his illustrator, Keith Grachow and I have decided to take a new step in getting this project published and released. Mitch and Keith are launching a Kickstarter Campaign next month to fund the production and printing of Concrete Martians so that they can present it and, hopefully, sell it to the general public at the 2014 Emerald City Comicon. It is not a cheap creation, these comics.
Here’s the Kickstarter link to see a preview and join the cause starting July 1st. Good luck Mitch and thanks for talking geek with me every week about comics!
