G.A.A.K

What do you get when you mix Steven Spielberg's "The Goonies" with equal parts of 50's style creature feature movies like "The Invaders from Mars"? You get "G.A.A.K: Groovy Ass Alien Kreatures", of course. When aliens from outer space led by the kooky maniacal, Jim Carrey like alien Gakk hatch a fiendish plot to take over the earth and meet the original cast of "Star Trek", four misfit kids named Zach, Jemmy, Plato, and Chubs set out to stop the invasion, save the world, and show the aliens that the kids of america don't take crap from nobody--And no body snatchers, either!!!

--GAAK: What they're saying

"Imagine Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton having a love-on and doing a UFO invasion epic with ordinary kids as the heroes"
The Webcomic Book Club

"...It's a fresh take on classic themes. And if Hughes' quirky humor or creepy horror stylings wasn't enough, MacNaughton's inks are nothing short of stunning..."
The Sequential Tart

"...Gakk is a pop culture junky who doesn't know when to quit...He is armed with a pervasive hatred of soft cuddly things equalled only by his love of William Shatner...Heavy comedy, back to back jokes, stabs at military officers that feel like they should have found their way into Dr. Strangelove, and all around good wholesome entertainment."
The Independent Comics Front

"...And then, suddenly, without warning--Comes Gakk! And doing a William Shatner impression yet. Not symbolically, but literally. Gakk. With his reptilian skin, glam rock band hairdo, and literal "Star Trek" uniform, goes and impersonates Shatner. Oh man. That's a moment for the record books...This comic IS Shatner!!!"

THE CONTINENTALS: THAT SHAPE AM I

In 1889, nearly one year after the mysterious Jack the Ripper's murderous rampage and equally mysterious disappearance, England is beginning to rise up out of the depths of it's unease. But a series of brutal and grisly murders committed by a killer known simply as "The Mangler" because of the sheer brutality he inflicts upon the bodies of his victims, five unfortunate souls in all, have made it painfully clear that the depths of the unease in the city of Mansfordshire aren't going to be so easily breached. But it's the newest murder, that of a member of Mansfordshires posh high society, seemingly at the hands of the murderous Mangler, that uncovers a tangled web of mystery and murder stretching back to a single unspeakable act 14 years earlier. And it's up to Continental Operative Jeffrey Tiffen Smythe and his partner the gender bending adventuress Lady Fiona Fiziwigg to unravel the ties that bind a perfect tapestry of murder and revenge.

"Bottom line: If a company as big and with as much visibility as Image can't sell your book, chances are better than even that no one can. Not even you."
