Alright. Just who is the “Revenant”? Well, in his current incarnation, the Revenant is a 14 year old boy named Eddie living in the year 1948 who finds a ring that is haunted by the ghost of a pulp vigilante who died back in 1936. The vigilante ghost (who originally called himself the Revenant) uses his ghostly powers (along with Eddie’s help) to avenge the deaths of murder victims. It’s a tale of ghosts and gunplay, but the main part of the story (at least for me) is the relationship between Eddie and Charles Pallentine (the ghost in the ring).
You see, Eddie is a typical boy who thinks discovering and taking up the mantle of a pulp avenger sounds exciting….and it is….but hasn’t really thought through that this means killing lots and lots of people. Sure, they’re bad guys, but killing is still killing. Of course, Charles doesn’t share his squeamishness a bit, so….there’s bound to be conflict…and hopefully growth on both parts.
Heck, even I don’t know what’s going to happen.
The comic is something I’ve been wanting to do for some time….and it looks like the time is now! I’ve written the script for the first 12-page short….that’ll either be published in print or online…..which I’ll write more about later. There’ll also be lots and lots of art. Speaking of which, I might as well show you the concept sketch of a sculpture that is being done by a great guy named Eric Diaz, from Gold Mane Enterpises (link on the side of the page). Eric’s work is incredible….and he’s been a fantastic help to the whole Haunted project. As he get’s work done on it, I’ll post pics here!
