The Creators Of Bane Turn To Social Funding For New Graphic Novel, Joe Frankenstein

Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan are best known for their creation of Batman-back-breaking Bane. Together, they fight crime.

No, wait…

Together, they create a new graphic novel, Joe Frankenstein, to be published by IDW next year, the first in a series of 120 page, full color graphic novels to be published next year.

But in order to get that far, they are turning to IndieGoGo to fund the production of the comic. There are some who are going to criticise such a scheme, asking why IDW aren't providing advances for such a project to ensure its production. That ignores much of the financial realities of the modern comics industry and economy, the fact that such systems can ensure publishers create work from a more diverse base, and also doubles as a parallel distribution model for premium comic book, delivering signed and numbered prestige volumes, sketches, art and other merchandise direct from the creators.

Here's the pitch and a preview…

Joe Pratt is seventeen and in his last year of living in a foster home before moving on to the rest of his life. He's delivering pizzas now but has no clue as to what he wants to do about his future.

All of that changes when he's attacked by a houseful of vampires and rescued by none other than Frankenstein's Monster. The Monster reveals to Joe that he is the descendent of Baron Victor Von Frankenstein . The most famous undead creation the world has ever known has been watching over Joe since birth; staying to the shadows to protect him from… The Bride.

I guess the $50 for the signed hardcover of the book may be the most popular option. Free worldwide postage as well, by the look of it…
