Hungry?

The story of Hungry is a long one. Last year around May or June I was contacted about working on an anthology project called Bizarre Mysteries. They had seen Maladroits on Zuda and thought I might be able to do something interesting for them. After talking to them, they decided they wanted to pursue a Zuda release. So they sent me the script and I said I'd do it. I actually ended up doing the project really quickly. I did the whole thing in just a couple weeks, and sent it off to them.

It was right around comic-con time when stuff was finishing up with the project and they took it to Zuda and showed it to them at the con. Zuda seemed interested, but wanted to them to submit it through the normal process with the anthology project in mind. They contacted me and told me that they actually wanted to lead with my story, so they would be submitting hungry as the actual pitch. So we sent it off. And then we waited for a long time.

Eventually they got back to me and said that even though they liked the idea of the project, the logistics of getting all the artist and writers paid would be a nightmare, and that they were going to have to pass. This sucked, but Sam Little who wrote the story suggested that we just expand the story an extra page (the original story was only 7 pages because the original concept was to have an introductory page with a sort of crypt creeper type character introduce each story). I did the extra page which you can now see as the first page. We sent it off, and after waiting another fairly long amount of time they declined again. My guess is that they knew this that we were just recycling story and we would be forcing it to be a ongoing.

It was a very long process, and it sucks that nothing ever came of it, but you win some you loose some. But now you can finally read it. Check out a Hungry HERE.
