About this project
What I would like to do is raise enough money to pay a talented colorist to color the very first issue of Hey-Zeus and self publish it. With the money made back in sales hopefully I can pay the colorist again, buy more material, and cover printing costs.
Hey-Zeus is the story of Murdock Simonson, a down-on-his-luck columnist is being threatened by a leg breaker hired by the top crime lord to squeeze out the money that Murdock borrowed from them. However, before Murdock receives any serious injuries from his aggressor, his life is saved by a small albino child who runs in and takes a bullet for him. Although the child first appears to be dead, Murdock’s young hero comes back to life in a matter of minutes with an out-of-this-world light show that rejuvenates the boy. Instead of being scared, Murdock’s interest is piqued, and he attempts to find out more about his savior. The gawky writer soon learns that the lad’s name is Hey-Zeus - that’s “Hey” for “Hello” and “Zeus” like the Greek god. Hey-Zeus then persuades Murdock in fighting the world’s tribulations through pacifism while renewing a his faith in the divine.
The first issue is a 31 pages with a letters page. The whole book is illustrated and written by me.
