A Hand Drawn Stephen King Comic

I have decided to put together a comic to send to Mr. King. I don't know if he will appreciate it or not, but I will at least give it a try. I am kind of thinking about doing a piece of fan art that might get his attention. I want to do something like the people who made this independent film called, "You Can't Kill Stephen King."


They were able to write and shoot a fan film about the stories by Stephen King. Then they showed in at Film Festivals. Now they have the rights to sell the film, finally getting Mr. King's blessing. I want to do something similar. I don't care if he ever allows me to sell the comic. I just want him to see it and acknowledge it. Maybe even sending me a thank you letter or something.

I think I am going to stick to the 22 page format and make a self drawn, self bound comic book to send to the address he gets all of his fan mail. The hope is that his secretary will look at it, get a laugh and think Mr King might actually want to read it, passing it along to his inbox.

What is it going to be about? I want to write about me, a cartoon overly dramatized version of me trying to figure out unusual ways to meet Mr King without getting in trouble with the authorities. I might go back into my file where I take a road trip up the east coast to see his home town in Bangor Maine. I actually took that trip in 2003 as a vacation for 2 weeks. I got to visit some friends and family along the way. I stood outside the red mansion and took the Stephen King city tour. I never did see him, but it was a fun trip.
