Before I say anything else, I’d first like to say… VOTE!
Okay, so with that out of the way I can tell you a bit more about Banana Gang. Talking about the story that I wrote for the Comics for a Cause anthology got me thinking more and more about the the potential of the series. Kongo and Bud were a lot of fun to write, and I’d developed quite a few enemies and supporting characters that I hated to see go to waste.
Well, I recently received an email message from an artist named Fernando Sosa asking if I had anything available for him to work on. It’s always pleasant to receive emails like this because it validates your ability as a writer when an artist wants to work with you. I passed Fernando a few notes about Banana Gang including the promotional art Dario Carrasco had done, and he agreed to take up the reins. So now Banana Gang is back!
My tentative plan is to introduce it as a webcomic using the model D.J. Coffman introduced not too long ago in a blog post titled Host your own Friggin Webcomic! I think updating the webcomic with a page a week would be the best idea for now. I’ve already started working on the first storyline, and Fernando has done quite a few character sketches. I’m showing a few of them off below. Enjoy!
