Price for the Asking, New Web Comic Coming to Comic Related Options

[G-Man]

I was thinking that a new weekly web comic for the Comic Related site for 2010 would be a good idea. But I thought something that was wasn't humorous, instead how about something serious. I mean all the other web comics are funny but nobody said that web comics had to be funny, did they?

I would like to do an ongoing, weekly web comic that features a modern day private investigator. I recently wrote a story for Ron that featured a detective named Ravenwood, and I'm working on another detective story for Studio Akumakaze called Duality.

I fell in love with this type of story while working on these two projects, so much so I have already commited to a second Ravenwood story.

But unlike Ravenwood (which is a pulp fiction character set in the 1930's with hints of the supernatural) and Duality (which has a very nasty and flawed police detective at the center of the story, which is also a science fiction piece at the same time)....this web comic strip would feature a detective that works out of an office in Detriot. Set firmly in the "real world" He's not the world's best detective but he's no slack. He is not a "flawed" character. He's a pretty straight and narrow guy that does his job well.

I think I have been running this idea through my head since I saw the Sherlock Holmes movie. The strip would be called The Price...a play on the fact the guy is a private eye for hire and his name is Simon Pryce. I think that keeping this strip black and white would be a nice touch. So I won't be needing a colorist. Give it that Sin City look...but the nature of the story won't be as dark and violent.

Each story arc would run for 12 weeks....and the first one entitled "Yesterday's Burning" has been rolling around in my head now for days and keeping me awake at night. (I haven't typed it out yet but it wouldn't take long to do so)

But for this thing to come about I will need an artist and a letterer. So if you can do either of these two things and this sounds like a project you think you would enjoy working on contact me and maybe we could pull this thing together.

Thanks.

I couldn't agree more, Tim, and he's really a great guy. The few letters we've exchanged have been awesome and I'm thrilled to have him on board for this.
