Acclaimed cartoonist and veteran animator Stephan Franck (Despicable Me, The Iron Big, What If…?) has returned to his comedian sequence “Palomino,” a neo-noir graphic novel set within the misplaced tradition of Los Angeles’ nation music golf equipment. Franck and his Darkish Planet Comics label have turned to Kickstarter to crowdfund Volumes 2 and three of a 4-Quantity plan. The sequence initially launched on Kickstarter in 2020 with the help of practically 700 backers.
Set in Los Angeles within the 12 months 1981, “Palomino” speaks to Los Angeles’ bizarre and forgotten historical past with heavy doses of music and thriller. Throughout LA, six nights every week, working musicians, TV actors, stuntmen, cops, hustlers, and damaged souls attempt to survive on the B-side of the Metropolis of Angels. That is “Palomino” – the place Farrah Fawcett hair reigns supreme, the place Ronald Reagan is starting his first time period as President, and the place LA’s hottest music spot is North Hollywood’s historic Palomino Membership.
“’Palomino’ follows the neo-noir, slice-of-life adventures of a person on skinny ice,” stated Franck in a press release. “Eddie Lang is a former Burbank PD detective, who’s a personal investigator by day and a working musician by evening. Within the new volumes, Eddie dives deeper into the homicide case of a former TV actress and rapidly finds himself uncovering too many lethal truths. In the meantime, his old-soul teenage daughter Lisette simply may be much more hard-boiled than her father. Lisette’s annoyed by her father’s refusal to reopen her mom’s chilly case and he or she decides to start her personal investigation. What may presumably go incorrect?”
