SEXY WESTERN/STEAMPUNK/FANTASY Comic book Page 01 Pencils

This sexy western/steampunk/fantasy comic book is one I wrote for another project which went no where, and I am redoing it and will be getting ready for publishers pitch.

The story is about Dawson Cole whose family was killed by the leader of the "Reaper" Gang when she was just a child. Older now she has dedicated her life to avenging her families murder, by promising to kill every last member of the "Reaper" gang.

This is the story of her Quest.

"Sadistic" Comic Book Character

"Sadistic" is a comic book character I have created which will be appearing in "Moose Crossing #2" Anthology and it's own comic book series after that.

"Evil Moose" http://evilmoosecomics.com/ is a wicked small time publisher.

They printed my first ever published story called "What was once yours is mine" (it appeared in "Moose Crossing #1" anthology it can be purchased here: http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=8499 (regular copy) and here: http://www.indyplanet.com/digital/product_info.php?products_id=8499 (digital copy)

"Sadistic" is the bad guy from the near future "Evil Moose" comic book universe.

Powers:

Steals other dying peoples souls to maintain his own life. Every time "Sadistic" is dying or dead his body automatically teleports anywhere in the world to another dying persons place and absorbs their soul to stay alive.

Since almost 2 people in the world die each and every second, he could be "re-born" anywhere. Knowing he will always comeback after dying has made "Sadistic" very unpredictable and unstable.

Panel 1

We can see the sergeant gesturing to CPT PETRIE, Sergeant’s assistant is standing next to the Sergeant.

SERGEANT:

Geoff Summerside, meet Captain Petrie.

His men will be escorting you to Kabul.

Now if you will excuse me I got real shit to deal with.

Panel 2

We can see PETRIE shaking hands with GEOFF

GEOFF:

I have a feeling he doesn't like me very much.

PETRIE:

Don’t take it personally. 

He doesn't like anybody that’s not wearing the stars and stripes.

Panel 3

Zoomed back so we can see all four people in the scene. We can see PETRIE and GEOFF of them walking from left to right, PETRIE is leading, the two camera men are following. Carrying their cameras like a briefcase.  They are walking by tents and we can see the bumper or last part of a Cougar H Vehicle in the scene.

PETRIE:

Follow me I am just about to brief the team.

Afterwards we are going to have to get your “team” some new rags*, otherwise you won’t last the first 10 miles.

*clothes

Panel 4

Close up of GEOFF and PETRIE. GEOFF is smiling cockily and PETRIE is stone cold serious.

GEOFF:

So if we are just a parcel you are delivering. 

What does that make all of you?

Mail men with guns?

PETRIE:

Nope... (continued dialogue next panel)
