Sleeping Lions

SEE THE PREVIEW HERE :  SLEEPING LIONS Issue One Preview

Empire City has had a long history of heroes and villains taking part in a war that was fought for many years. However in recent times the city has slept a bit easier at night. The city hasn't had a need for a hero, and the villains have either been locked up, or faded away with time. This calm does not last long though...A new threat has risen in the city. The mob have been slowly working their way through the cracks left in the old city and have made their foothold. Pimps, dealers, and crooked cops give the people of Empire city a reason to fear the streets when the sun goes down. With no heroes left to stop them, they have flourished, but one man will take matters in to his own hands and will give the city hope again.

Ari, a young and cocky bouncer will put on a mask and take the title of "The Sentry" to try and take his city back from the evils that have found their way back home. It's time for this Sleeping Lion to wake up.

The Story of the Wolf and the Lion

In 2015 Pedro Andres Escalante and Deco Wilson had an idea for a comic. Andres at the time was slowly spiraling in to a deep depression and fought hard to keep his own mind at bay by writing a story about a hero. He told Deco about his idea, and they both decided to make this idea for a comic in to a reality. The pair worked hard, writing scripts, working on rough draft after rough draft with what little resources they had...Then, Andres fell hard to his depression...

July of 2015, writing had stopped and the dream began fading away. Deco kept drawing and tried to get Andres to keep writing, and slowly but surely the words found their way to paper. Andres made the choice for himself to get back up. Time went by, and with the love and support of friends and family, he was able to find the light again and the Lion within him roared.

Deco had been working on the comic and drawing rough drafts and mock-ups to have for Andres when he was ready to start the project again. Now numbers have been crunched, and they are ready to give this dream a shot. 

Sleeping Lions has been a dream of the boys for the past year and now, they have the passion and desire needed to make this a reality. Now all they need is your support!!!


What we're hoping to get out of this campaign

We want to tell a story that people can fall in love with and characters that people can relate to. Andres has created rough drafts for sequels, prequels, and even stand alone books for individual characters in the Sleeping Lions universe. This campaign is for the equipment for Deco to be able to make even better illustrations and make the comic as beautiful as it can be, and with each order of the first comic we get to print more and more for all our supporters. The first book in this series will be fully funded by you, the backers and we hope in the future to create more campaigns for each book in the series. The next campaigns will have even lower goals, and will make this comic an even bigger reality! Without you, this comic will be significantly more difficult to make a reality. So we hope we can show you just how passionate we are about this project!


"How else can I help?"

If you can't back the project that's ok! We know, our goal is a lofty one, but we appreciate any help you can provide. Tweet about us! Tell your friends, your family! Talk about us on your podcast, or have Andres on it to talk about Sleeping Lions! Spread the word in whatever way you can! We want this to be a reality and we can only do it with your help, so please, back our comic or at least tell the world about it!

Thank you
