Dark New World Comic Book Script – Issue 1
A labor of love collides with life and responsibilities.
After making the Dark New World movie, I knew I wanted to write comic books — but how do I break in? After all it is every comic book geek’s dream. So after talking to Ralph Contreras (he was the owner of Modern Age Comics) I was convinced I could carry on the Dark New World story. So I wrote the first issue of DNW and attempted to find an artist. I thought I could get an artist that had passion for the project and could work for free. We would split everything 50/50… Not the case. I have met some great artists these past 2 years, but they are like me, needing money to pay the bills. Here in all its splendor is the first issue of Dark New World in Script format. As always I appreciate feedback and feel free to illustrate pages and I’ll showcase them on the Blog. I’m now onto plan B.

Brief History about Dark New World Movie
A few of years ago I was at Modern Age Comics in Las Cruces. I had just shot a short film called “Why Can’t it be Tuesday.” The comic shop owner allowed me to film some scenes of the short in his business. Ralph, the shop owner and some customers were talking about making a short Zombie film. I somehow got into the conversation and next thing you know, I offered to write the thing.
