KickStarter: Stripling Warrior Reaches Goal
Stripling Warrior, a KickStarter Campaign by Brian Andersen aims to raise enough to allow the writer tell a new story, one about an openly gay mormon who receives superpowers and a mission from God.
Brian Andersen of So Super Duper Comics kicked the campaign off at the end of April and has already reached his target of $5000 but there is still some time to get in on it and support the comic.
Stripling Warrior stars Sam Shepard, a happily out and newly married gay man who is visited by an Angel from Heaven on his wedding night. The Angel Abish – a rare female named character from the Book of Mormon – calls Sam to become the Hand of God on Earth, tasked with smiting those in need of smiting.
Why was he chosen? How does his homosexuality impact his role as a servant of the divine? And how does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints react when they hear of a homosexual man on a mission from the heavens?
Andersen is joined on the project by artist, James Neish, you can see some of the early concept art for characters, Sam, his partner Jase and the angel Abish below:
Stripling Warrior promises action, humour and romance without going XXX, donating to the project will get you some perks too including digital issues, preview art and the chance to get your hands on some other work by Brian.
Editor-in-Chief, part-time super villain and hoarder of cats. If you can’t find me writing, I’m probably in the kitchen!
