Veteran comic
book colorist, Beth Sotelo, renowned for her work on such titles as Michael
Turner’s Fathom, Soulfire and Shrugged for
Aspen Comics over a ten year span, has developed and introduced her own new
original series entitled “Grump”,
launching recently on Kickstarter.com with a debut 40-page fully illustrated
graphic novel first -offering. A longtime passion project for Sotelo for many
years, the creator describes “Grump”:
“Most
neighborhoods have that one crazy house. Its wood is rotting and weeds are
flourishing. No matter what time of day it is, it remains in the shadows. Maybe
you aren't afraid of that house, but you definitely won't be trick-or-treating there--just
to be safe.
That's where
Grump lives.
Grump doesn't
realize he is all alone, yet he knows that something isn't right. Eventually,
it takes a series of unusual circumstances for Grump to finally meet some
neighborhood kids outside his comfort zone—and soon his world is completely
shaken!
“Grump” is created, written and fully
illustrated by Beth Sotelo and the Kickstarter for the debut graphic novel is
currently live now to pledge support. Incentive packages include PDF copies of
the graphic novel, iron-on patches of the “Grump”
characters, original hand-drawn “Grump”
trading cards as well as “Grump”
mini-prints by comic creators Joe Benitez, Keu Cha, Peter Steigerwald, Kizer
Stone and Sotelo. The “Grump” graphic
novel can be found at the following link:
