Hey guys, my name is Benjamin Dickson - I don't post here much, but I've written a few projects you may well have heard of, including Santa Claus vs the Nazis for Aces Weekly, Slumdroid for Scar Comics and, way back in the mists of time, a Dredd fan strip called Doppelganger, which got Boo Cook his first gig at 2000AD.
Anyway, I wanted to let you all know I've launched a Kickstarter drive for a graphic novel of mine called Unfinished City - a detective thriller set in the criminal underworld of Former Yugoslavia. You can read the first 20 pages of the book online, at this link: http://www.unfinishedcity.com/preview.htm
Here's the Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/339233852/unfinished-city-by-dickson-martinovic-and-solanovi?ref=category
And finally, here's the pitch: Nadja Djurkovic is a British Citizen from Nikšić in Montenegro, travelling home for the first time since the end of the Yugoslav wars. Called by a letter from her sister, Nadja arrives only to find that her sister was murdered just two weeks before. Stricken by grief and regret, Nadja investigates the murder herself, only to find all is not as it seems. Nikšić has changed; the vacuum left by the fall of communism a decade before has been filled with organised crime, smuggling and corruption. Everybody knows the murder was pinned on the wrong man – and the true murderer may well be the most powerful man in the city...
I've been working on this book for several years, and won't make a penny from this kickstarter personally - I just really want to get the book out there and into people's hands. Anyway, hope you take a look! :-)
