Award-winning filmmaker Danny Boyd has turned to the crowdstarter engine IndieGoGo to fund his latest project, CARBON, an epic graphic novel of gods, monsters and evil coal barons that is set in Mingo County, West Virginia.
In Danny’s own words, CARBON covers an original civilization before ours on the tipping point of extinction, and asks what — if anything — livable we will leave behind on our current course.
And who can save us from this most cataclysmic disaster in our human history? A courageous group of West Virginia coal miners and their community. These unlikely heroes are mankind’s only hope on this edge of the end of the world.
I have contracted two of the best graphic novel artists in the world to help me bring CARBON to life in illustrator, Edi Guedes, and colorist, Alzir Alves, of Rascunho Studio in Brazil. And right here in Charleston, world-class letterer, Jason Arthur.
Upon completion, CARBON will be shopped to major publishers. Our first graphic novel, CHILLERS, will be released by a national publisher next year (details TBA soon) so I am confident that CARBON will have significant publication as well.
We have donated to Danny’s graphic novel and we encourage you to do the same! It makes a great Christmas present. Happy Holidays!
