Project #2: Hero of The Prophecy #1: A Pro Wrestling Fantasy Comic Book
What it’s about: Paul London: Hero of the Prophecy is equal parts sci-fi fantasy, comedic adventure, and pro wrestling entertainment told in a nostalgic ’80s style. This mistaken identity comedy is the story of washed-up, real-life pro wrestler Paul London who, at the lowest point in his life, is magically transported across the universe to a distant planet of sword and sorcery.
Once there, he is mistaken to be the Hero of The Prophecy, destined to free the people of this alien planet from the rule of Ramzaar, an evil sorcerer. Ultimately, Paul must learn to use his pro-wrestling skills and false bravado to not only survive the strange, magical world and its ferocious inhabitants but also Ramzaar’s dark forces. Along the way, he befriends the owl-like wizard Finnegan and the stunningly beautiful, sword-wielding princess Sheetara… all in the hopes of becoming a true hero!

Project #3: Get My Head Straight: First Looks 2025
What it’s about: From GLAAD Award-winning writer/artist Richard Fairgray: “This is a campaign for two things. One is a way to structure my new graphic novel that explores the drive to make comics and never stop moving. The other is to offer new readers a cheap way to dip their toe into my massive body of work from the past two years.
This project is for a new memoir piece called Get My head Straight in which I grapple with the shifting reality of this chaotic world, the very real possibility that I might be burning out, and how on Earth I’m meant to make a comic while running a Kickstarter campaign for the comic that the comic is about…but then there’s the twist.”
