“Comics Are Dying: The Comic” by 1 Writer and 100 Artists
For most of the past hundred years, many have claimed that comic books are on the decline. Despite numerous challenges, the comic book industry has persevered and thrives today. In honor of its remarkable journey into the 21st century, a satirical Original Graphic Novel (OGN) has emerged, titled “Comics Are Dying: The Comic” – a brief exploration and celebration of the comic book realm!
Crafted and penned by Louis Southard, a 24-year-old comic book writer known for works like “The Blackout Bombshell,” “Midnight Western Theatre,” and “Villains Seeking Hero,” this book delves into comic book history through one-page short story comics, with a different artist for each page. The primary aim was to assemble a diverse team of 100 individuals, including both established and emerging artists from various backgrounds. “Comics Are Dying: The Comic” endeavors to be a lively, enlightening, tongue-in-cheek, satirical, and hopeful publication, designed to engage new readers, provide job opportunities for artists, and support comic book stores.
Current discussions are underway to find a publisher who shares the same ambition as the book to support readers, comic book stores, and the upcoming wave of comic book artists. Should no suitable publisher step up to the challenge, the complete comic book will be made available online for free, serving as a digital exhibit highlighting some of today’s top creative talents!
