The Poison Of Fame
Poison of Fame is ending up longer than any comic script I have written before. I think I’m finally becoming confident in my scriptwriting ability to where I know how and what I want from my story.
I may have snagged another artist and his partner who he hasn’t introduced yet for my crime comic called Crooked Little Town. It’s a story about a dying man whose condition has made him cynical and nihilhistic. He vents his frustration of being afflicted with cancer on women, killing them with a gun. The lead detective Paris Quinlan and his partner Alfred Winslow try to track him down before any more murders are committed, but learn he maybe suicidal and is trying to provoke a violent end. By the end of the story, the dying man kills a boy and holds the mother hostage. Coming at a stand off with police. He lets the mom go, and commits suicide.
