About this project
Alphonse is the story of eight lives that intersect because of an attempted abortion. Why "attempted?" Because while there are no angels or demons on either side, there is definitely a monster in the middle: Alphonse. Rendered "grotesquely abnormal" by his unwitting mother's use of controlled substances, he is both sentient and freakishly coordinated. He is also deeply wounded, twisted by fear and rage after the attempt on his life, and bent on revenge. But violence begets violence. Alphonse is pursued even as he is pursuing, and haunted by his only friend's insistence that there is another way...
Alphonse: A Mousing Owl is the third issue of a planned five-issue series. Donations will go to pay my artist, letterer, and producer.
Pie in the sky fantasy: I need about $14,000 to finish the series outright, so even if the funding for this issue is reached, please feel free to donate.
