SMALL PRESS COMIC, BIG WORLD
New creator debuts a well-written comics series
Comics writer-creator Max West announced the first print release of
Sunnyville Stories, a comics series in development for nearly two
years.
Sunnyville Stories is a slice-of-life comic centered around the small
idyllic hamlet of Sunnyville. The town is home to families of
anthropomorphic animals dressed in traditional clothing - males wear
suits and females wear dresses. The series itself revolves around two
feline teenagers: a silver tabby recently moved into town named Rusty
Duncan and a butter cream furred country girl named Samantha “Sam”
Macgregor.
The second episode of the series, entitled “Multiball Madness”, is now
available as a 40-page magazine-sized comic. The plot involves Rusty
being challenged by local rich girl Rose Von Straussen after hearing
him brag about his pinball playing skills. Can Rusty triumph over
Rose when they play their game? Or will Rusty see his fledgling
reputation shot amongst the town’s youngsters?
The second episode continues to build upon the rich universe of
Sunnyville, introduced in the series’ first episode. The series pilot
episode “Beginnings” is available for free, currently being serialized
through the creator’s blog.
“I was taught to write what you know,” Max West says, “And what I know
are my own personal experiences of having to face a challenge and of
showing others what I can do.”
The clean, straightforward line art of Mr. West’s comics evoke the
feel of traditional newspaper comics and the work of Expressionist
painter/draftsman Paul Klee - both of which Mr. West has cited as
artistic influences on his work.
Max West resides in New York and holds a degree in creative writing
from Baruch College. He has also trained at the School of Visual Arts
in New York City, receiving training from experts in the comics
field. At the time of this writing, the third episode of Sunnyville,
an adventure story called “the Train Robbers”, is being inked. It is
expected to be available in the first quarter of 2011. Sunnyville
Stories #2 is currently available through IndyPlanet.com and
ComicsMonkey.com at a retail price of US$ 2.99.
