In 1729, the infamous Irish author, Jonathan Swift, writes his satirical pamphlet 'A Modest Proposal,' criticizing British rule in Ireland. Swift suggests to impoverished Irish mothers to sell their babies to the rich as food. To Swift's disbelief, this suggestion is taken literally by a group of aristocrats, which transforms them into mindless flesh-eating zombies. Now, Jonathan Swift must expel the zombies and the British from Ireland before it's consumed whole.

This Kickstarter project is to help fund the first 32 pages (1st act) of the graphic novel adaptation of Jonathan Swift's classic satire turned on its head. This is a story I've been working on for almost a year and now I'm enlisting the help of artist, Felle Jones http://www.wix.com/graphichermit/mediamunkey, to bring it to life...or death. This unique period piece combines the wit of Jonathan Swift with frilly wigged zombies for a dramatic yet darkly comedic commentary on both 18th century and modern imperialism.

The funds raised from this KickStarter project will be put towards paying the artist, printing and shipping costs, and kickstarter/credit card fees needed to complete the project. The goal is to fund this compelling story and kick start the completion of the entire graphic novel, plus any future adaptations to the screen (fingers crossed). All those who help fund this project will be duly acknowledged for the support in any subsequent adaptions.
