THE CAMPAIGN! FUND THE WORK AND CHOOSE YOUR PERK!
The “Springball: Terminal Monstrosity” campaign will fund the complete rework of the 22-page comic book story that premiered in 2002 plus 20 pages of bonus material. Springball™ is Ditko and McFarlane’s Spider-man meets Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead. From new lines to new coloring and from new story to new lettering, my work will only be possible with your support.
The NEW artwork will be completely reformatted and every panel will be illustrated to 8.5 inches to 11 inches at 400dpi. The original files from the 2002 first issue were 150dpi and 11in x 17in. Page by page panel by panel the original hand-lettering that was drawn on the 2002 artwork is being painted out digitally to allow for the new format and all new story beats and script. By reformatting the book to a larger 8.5in by 11in size, Springball #1 is far more immersive, much like my other series, “Nosfero™."
The book will be created and printed in the U.S.A..

THE STORY OF TERMINAL MONSTROSITY
In the city of Kingsport… in the heart of Lovecraft’s New England… evil comes in many forms. A hero known to the city as "Springball" has protected the city for 13 years. He needs no sleep. He needs no rest. He has 10 times the strength of a normal man. He can’t be destroyed and he is not human. He ricochets through the city with an ability to bound over tall buildings and deflect speeding bullets. He uses an elastic cable to both launch himself through the city and redirect his trajectory. The cable is equipped with a spherical end piece that serves as both an anchor and a mace-like bludgeon for combat. Springball is an unstoppable sentry of justice. Now he must do battle with a new threat to the innocent of Kingsport. A secret cult has beyond the reach of law enforcement been preying on the innocent in an attempt to merge the vile science of eugenics and the blasphemous mysticism born from an ancient race of ocean dwelling leviathans. When reckless science is combined with this ancient inhuman knowledge an evil is unleashed that will upend the city of Kingsport and change the nature of Springball's fight forever!

THE FUNDS FOR THE WORK AND THE OPTIONS FOR PERKS
- The purpose of this campaign is to fund the rebirth of my creator-owned superhero character, Springball.™ By contributing to this campaign you become (or continue to be) a patron of imagination, the comic book art form, and aspirational storytelling.
- Starting with the lowest tier perk, you will receive a beautifully illustrated and immaculately produced 8.5 inch by 11 inch book. It will contain the newly imagined 22-page Springball™ issue 1 and 20 pages of bonus material, including raw scans of the 2002 original art.
- From Nosfero™ to Springball™, none of my book's editions are the same. This book will be have the words "First Edition" on the title page and (like all my first editions) it will be signed on the title page signature line or (at a higher tier) be signed with a head sketch.
YOUR IMPACT
- Your contribution will be funding the thousands of hours of solitary work that will make "Springball: Terminal Monstrosity"#1 possible. This is my fifth IndieGoGo campaign and my third original crowdfunded book.
- As a one man operation and I need your support. For the first edition of my book "Nosfero: The Crypt Walker," with the exception of the lettering I created 33 hand-painted pages, the books layout, pre-press, and personally boxed ALL of the almost 700 packages and drove them to the post office. With the Nosfero Art and Second Edition campaign closing in two months, that number will soon be over 1000. If I have a team, it's YOU!
