| Script for Blueboy Brown Comics #6 Begun |
| The cycle for the first issue of Liquid Prisoner Comics is over, and I’ve begun writing the script for Blueboy Brown Comics #6. I write scripts in a small sketchbook in pencil, with spot illustrations to make shots I contemplate clear to me. This is where I block out the main events I want in the comic and how I get to the end of this episode. Right now I plan on 28-32 pages. Everything is black & white. This is the concept for the next five issues. Blueboy is up on charges for a murder he didn’t commit. Someone with a familiar mark on his right cheek did that. The beginning of a gang war of human traffickers is beginning, and Blueboy takes the fall for the first killing.  Yep, human trafficking. All in the news now, but I became acutely aware of it through the offices of an activist in Bangalore, India back in 1997. There are more slaves now than at any time in the history of the world. The subject entered this comic in issue #2, when Blueboy’s grandmother was killed while resisting a kidnapping. His grandfather ran from this evil for forty years, until it reared its ugly head in a sleepy little village in southern Arkansas.  Now it’s claimed Blueboy and seeks his life, one way or another, for Rascal Jack, the head of the crime family and the father of the murdered Leroy, doesn’t know the gang war has begun or that his Uncle Ruben has turned on him. Rascal believes in revenge, not trials. He sends in multiple assassins for Blueboy. Yes, I said multiple. One after another is carried out of the jail on a stretcher. Rascal is perplexed. So are the jail guards who let the assassins pass.  Get ready for Blueboy Brown Comics #6, coming in early 2024. Liquid Prisoner Comics #2 will appear at the same time it did this year, in May of 2024. That’ll probably be the schedule for the near future. I’m contemplating doing all the lettering by hand, like it is in the script book, but with defined vector word balloons. Tell me if you like it. Remember: You Don’t Know Real Evil. |
