Hi,
I strongly agree with and appreciate your sentiments on the comic book industry.
Perhaps you can help. I have written a children's story set in South Africa. It is entitled 'Young Shaka Zulu'. It is a bit like an African version of Peter Pan. It even involves a bat-like flying machine built and flown by young Shaka (playing a bit with history!) with lots of coloful characters and animals. I am hoping to collaborate with comic book artist(s) in order to produce a comic book of the story. Then I wish to make a 3D movie using the comic book as a storyboard. I run a 3D animation school in SA and have already established interest in the movie from our national TV channel. Because the protagonists are historically native SA characters there may be funding forthcoming from the SA government. Naturally the comic book would be vital to secure this.I would be happy to send the script to any interested party that you recommend. My website is www.sparklife.co
Warmest regards
