The Diary of the Stray Dogs: The Wounded

My name is Nigel Lynch. 

I’m here to launch my first Indiegogo campaign. Comic books have always been one of my true loves. The ability to bring a world of endless possibilities to life and have fun with it. 

I’ve been an indie comic writer for over 10 years, and I've been an artist in some form my entire life. Some of you may know my past projects, like my work on Hardears and Life & Death in Paradise. 

It's been my dream for as long as I can remember to bring a story from one of my favorite genres, science fiction to life. So, I'm beyond excited to contribute to the genre with a new series of comics called The Diary Of The Stray Dogs with the first book ‘The Wounded’.

Set in the year 2135 in a cyberpunk-esque world in the vein of ‘Altered Carbon’, and ‘Ghost in the Shell’ meets ‘Extraction’.

Who will love the Diary of the Stray Dogs: The Wounded?

If you like movies and science fiction/action films like District 9, Elysium, Altered Carbon, John Wick, Blade Runner, and Dredd with a bit of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill thrown in for good measure.

If you like Cyberpunk inspired work like Killtopia.

Fans of series like Ghost in the Shell.

Fans of stories with Black female protagonists.

Fans of Caribbean characters in science fiction settings.

If you like comic books with bloody violence, gorgeous artwork, and a great story, then you will love THE WOUNDED.

The world of THE DIARY OF THE STRAY DOGS

The series is set in the early 2100s and is about a ragtag group of mercenaries hired by various clients. From members of a secret society to various multinational corporations. 

The world of the Stray Dogs is one where the major governments of the world have joined together to create a world of peace, but the countries outside of these developed nations were given the designation of the pirate nations. 

The stories dive into these pirate nations and their interactions with the other world. 

The Diary of the Stray Dogs has been a passion project of mine that I have longed to see the light of day and hopefully, with your help, we can make it happen.

The Story: THE WOUNDED

This is the diary of Shani Belcourt, set in the 22nd Century. 

A world where many things have changed yet some things stay the same. The pursuit of wealth, health, spirituality, and long life is still the main goal of humanity. Despite its many technological advancements, the world is still plagued with greed, corruption, and a disregard for basic human life.

In these pages, Shani recounts the events that start her on the path to becoming the individual she is today.

Who is Shani Belcourt?

Shani, the main character in this story, is a black female with a mixed Caribbean heritage who is a long way from home. But she has a dream of settling back down in her homeland in the West Indies.

Shani is an adventurous individual.  When we meet her in the story, she's on the tail end of her contract with a private security firm. Trained as a pilot, she has gotten her team out of many a hairy situation but now it is time for some good old R&R. She and Alex head into the city for a wild night where they meet up with a bike courier Rossa, an individual who is always down for some sex, drugs and fun times.

Meet Rossa

WHO IS ROSSA?

Rossa is the other female main character in the story. She is a feisty redhead, with a no holds barred attitude and whose philosophy in life is “why work hard, when you can play hard?” Her job as a bike courier is convenient, as Rossa loves life and intends to live it to the fullest.  Her love for the narcotic Purple Ice, only rivaled by her unwavering religious belief in the one true savior of the time Edward Noch the lost astronaut.
