I’d love to see an all-digital bundle with the pdf and MP3s. I’ve built it myself but you’d likely sell a fair few!

Project Update: FUNDED! And more about Underworld creator Kevin Grevioux!

THANK YOU for all of your support on this campaign from everyone at Rocketship and Black Eye! We're so thrilled to have funded so quickly and how apropos to do it on All Hallow's Eve!

Today we also want to give you all a bit more background on the writer of the LIGHTS OUT short story Kimera, prolific writer, director, producer, and actor Kevin Grevioux!

Kimera, created and written by Kevin with art by Xerx Javier, is described as:

After a strange murder in her neighborhood, a private detective finds herself in the middle of a monster war where she must use her unique abilities to stop it.

Some of you may know Kevin's work from one specific project or from various projects on his vast resume. As an actor he's appeared in Alien Nation, The Mask, Congo, Batman Forever, Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, The Hulk, and Men in Black 2. But he's most recognized for his role as Raze in the Underworld franchise, which he also created and wrote.



In comics, he's best know for creating the Blue Marvel in his critically acclaimed Adam: Legend of the Blue Marvel for Marvel Comics.  He has written for both Marvel and DC on titles like Spider-Man, Blade, Iron Man, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman, and on indies titles, notable his creator-owned line, DarkStorm, and with Ryan Benjamin on the Eisner nominated Brothers Bond.



He is both a writer and voice actor in some of the most popular animated series of their times including writing for Ben 10, Young Justice, and Mega Man, and voicing characters like Super Skrull in Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., as Solomon Grundy on The Batman, Terrax in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and his most famous run in animation as the primary antagonist in Young Justice season 2 as The Black Beetle.



Kevin recently made his directorial debut in the action film King of Killers starring Frank Grillo, Stephen Dorff, and Georges St-Pierre!

Project Update: 75% Funded! Some actor history and a better look at Charlatan by Leeanne M. Krecic!

75% of the way there in just over a day, THANK YOU!

Before we dive into a little bit of history, we will be sharing some better looks at pages from the graphic novel in some of our updates. First up is a closer look at a preview page from Charlatan by Leeanne M. Krecic, the creator of the mega-hit Let's Play!
 
Krecic's short story is described as:

In a world where the supernatural hides in plain sight, Quinn Forsythe runs a psychic shop full of knock-off trinkets and fake fortunes. But when a cautious wife seeks his help, Quinn must decide how far he’s willing to go to uncover the truth—without revealing his own.
 


Now one of the best parts of putting this project together was getting to learn as much as possible about the actors from the original recordings. While some of this is highlighted in the campaign, we thought it would be fun to share more details in some updates as we go.

The first actor I'd love to highlight is Donald Gallagher, pictured below in Thru Different Eyes. Though he has had an impressive career, there are 2 highlights which were particularly incredible. First, he appears in the 1903 film The Great Train Robbery, which if you are unfamiliar with is a seminal film that is studied to this day in film schools around the world and is famous for being the first known use of a pan in film.

The other is that he was Bing Crosby's dialogue director at Paramount Pictures. So while he's not credited on classics like White Christmas, he most certainly was working with Crosby on those films. Credits just were not at thorough back then as they are today. 

Gallagher (sometimes also spelled as Gallaher) was born in Quincy, IL, in 1895. He made his stage debut in Chicago at the Grand Opera House at the ripe old age of 4. Charles Frohman, a leading Broadway producer, attended one of his performances and signed the boy to a contract which made him the highest-paid juvenile actor in New York. Gallagher appeared in numerous New York theatrical productions, including A Royal Family and Alias Jimmy Valentine (1910), the hit play based on a short story by O. Henry (no relation to the candy bar).

Later in life he played opposite such actresses as Helen Hayes, Ethel Barrymore and Theda Bara on stage and played romantic leads in a variety of films for Thanhouser (circa 1914) and Metro Pictures' Eye for Eye (1918), directed by Alla Nazimova. Later he produced Broadway plays including the hit The Gorilla (1925) and in Hollywood directed early talkies for Fox Films starring such actors as Mae Clarke and Rex Bell. His film Temple Tower (1930) is among the 250 films specially preserved from nitrate destruction at the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
