Clockwork Girl's Kevin Hanna Completes Kickstarter Launch of Creature Academy, new Steampunk Fantasy
SEATTLE (September 27, 2012) - Creature Academy: The Legacy, a new steampunk-inspired fantasy adventure comic, completed its successful Kickstarter campaign this week, raising over $10,000 from backers. This new comic is a dark tale about kids and their magical creatures teaming up to fight the evil forces that kidnapped their parents. New backers can still order a copy before Saturday Sept. 29, 2:28am EDT.
THE ADVENTURE
Wes Mendes, 14, has lived his whole life on the run with his mom. When she gets kidnapped by evil forces, they come for him next. So he must hide in an underground city where the human and the magic worlds collide. There Wes joins a team of kids and their magical creatures, at a school like no other. He finds his own magical creature and leads the team on a dangerous quest to destroy the evil and save their parents.
STEAMPUNK COMICS WITH KIDS & CREATURES
Creator Kevin Hanna and artist Grant Bond are comic book veterans who collaborated on the best-selling steampunk graphic novel The Clockwork Girl. But the world of Creature Academy is both more realistic and more magical. The young heroes of Creature Academy fight evil alongside mythical creatures such as: grigs, hippogriffs, basilisks, manticores and leviathans. There's even the world's first steampunk unicorn, with fiery eyes and armor plating---a creature that doesn't want to hear your "My Little Pony" jokes, ever.
