Marc Bernardin, co-writer of The Highwaymen and Monster Attack Network, shares a one-page pitch for a comic series called Robin Banks and the Liberators on his blog. He says the book is “a high-fashion, high-tension, high-camp swinging-’60s book about very pretty girls doing very bad things,” and, I’m guessing, he’s hoping someone somewhere who makes those kinds of decisions will see it and maybe decide to publish it. It also might be of interest to anyone looking to break into comics and wanted to know what a pitch could look like.
Bernardin, who along with Adam Freeman also wrote the recent Top Cow contest entry Genius, also said the quote I used for this post’s title in San Diego during AiT’s So You Want to Do a Graphic Novel? panel. It was in reference to how hard it is to break into the business. Apparently Bernardin’s holding the door open or, at the very least, leaving it ajar while no one’s looking.
