Watch: "The Beast of Wolfe's Bay: Graphic Novel" KickStarter Pitch

By -

Here's a new pitch for a graphic novel about Bigfoot called "The Beast of Wolfe's Bay: Graphic Novel". Judging by the sample pages below, it looks really interesting and well done. It's about some nerds joining forces with local police to find out who murdered a bunch of frat boys during spring break. Since this book is about Bigfoot, you can probably guess who the culprit is.

The author is Erik Evensen. He's a graphic designer, illustrator, graphic novelist, and teacher -- sometimes all at once! He was born and raised in New Hampshire, and grew up fascinated with comics, monsters, and the paranormal. Check out the video below and see if you would like to back the project up at KickStarter.com.


ABOUT THE BOOK

The Beast of Wolfe’s Bay is an adventure/sci-fi story with a splash of comedy, folklore, and romance mixed in for good measure. It’s a one-shot graphic novel, not a series, so you’ll get a thick, full-color book for your bookshelf, if people still have those.

The hero of the story is a young guy named Brian Wegman. Brian is a grad student in anthropology who just can’t seem to finish his PhD. He’s been in school forever, and his advisor is starting to get on his case about it. But despite this, he’s an expert on paleoanthropology.

Brian is called in to consult on a strange murder case in the small, lakeside town he once called home. A bunch of frat boys were killed while partying on spring break, with some strange evidence that suggests the murderer might not exactly be human. Brian must use his expertise to identify the creature, and then join forces with the local police to seek the monster out and destroy it. Along for the adventure are Sheriff Gary Roth, a no-nonsense investigator, his deputies, and his daughter, Winifred, an energetic young folklore professor with an encyclopedic knowledge of the urban legends of the region. It’s basically Beowulf, starring a bunch of nerds. Also, Sasquatch.

    Not sure I'm on board with supporting a graphic novel that portrays the big guy as a murderer. Especially when aggressive sasquatch reports are so rare.

      Hey, I'm the author/artist (really). There's more to my story than just "murderer bigfoot;" that's just the elevator pitch. WIthout spoiling anything about the ending, let me just assure you there are larger plot points at play... the sasquatches may not actually be the villains. I do strive for authenticity in my work, as I did with my earlier graphic novel (www.godsofasgard.com), which has been embraced by historians, mythologists, reenactors, and practitioners of Asatru, if that tells you anything about my sincerity.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
