Elliot Blake’s “The Package” at Kickstarter

Author and producer Elliot Blake (website, Twitter) has partnered with artist Alexis Ziritt to out together The Package, a crime graphic novel that now has about two weeks to meet its funding goal at Kickstarter. The art looks great, and a signed copy of the final book only requires a $10 donation.

THE PACKAGE, an original 56-page crime graphic novel written by Elliot Blake and illustrated by Alexis Ziritt, is the story of Fred Cutler, a shallow mob gunman who survives an attempt on his life only to wake up and find there’s a small bomb in his chest. It was planted there by Paz Huerta, the beautiful young woman who saved his life, because she sees in him her one best chance to get something she’s wanted more than anything: revenge for the death of her father at the hands of Fred’s boss, Los Angeles gangster Rafi Vega. Like it or not, Fred’s going to have to help Paz, because she’s not taking no for an answer – and she’s the one with her finger on the detonator.
