A Matter of Survival
Foreign Agent is a 190 page graphic novel for teens and adults that follows two soldiers who force their way into a home. There is a language barrier between the soldiers and the family that lives there. They begin exchanging drawings in an attempt to communicate. At this point the comic becomes a comic-within-a-comic, and I have 'cast' collaborators A.O.M. and Wayward Nerd to represent the art of the characters within the story.
The nature of the relationships within the family, as well as the soldiers, isn't clear. Tension mounts. Communication is key, and all they have are drawings to exchange. The soldiers are running from something. Will their shaky deal with the family pan out or make things worse?
This book is a full affecting graphic novel, 190 pages. It's already completely drawn. Funding goes towards a print run and production on future releases from Narwhal Books, including Earthbound, part 2.
"Foreign Agent is so f*cking good. It's like a good foreign film I can't turn off." - Von Klaus, creator of Monster M.D.

Foreign Agent is a very special book. It's really intense, and only takes place in one house. Comics don't have to do that, they can do whatever they want. They can have a spaceship or a dragon come down. The fact Foreign Agent is so focused and tense is part of the originality and fun that make it stand out.
I've been working on this book over the past three years. I used to sometimes get adrenaline rushes when I was working on it at certain moments in the story, just anticipating the moment of it's release and a first-time reader's experience. Very glad that moment has come! Thanks for checking it out.
Risks & Challenges
This will be my second big campaign! It's actually my fifth campaign total. I did several small ones before the previous Earthbound campaign. So i know the ropes pretty good and can improve on that one. However I'm still nervous enough about the whole process to the be extra careful and treat it with great respect. Running an indiegogo is a big life changer. Even just packing and shipping books is a big endeavor. However, I've done it all, on a pretty big scale because Earthbound sold over 600 copies, so I'm ready! I call it the Peter Simeti LIFE holla atcha boi
