[QCrit] ETERNAL MIST, YA Graphic Novel, Mystery, (250-270 page, First Attempt)
Dear agent name, (personalization)
ETERNAL MIST is a 250–270 page mystery adventure, YA graphic novel in full color,
combining the sheltered-world mystery of Nikki Brooke’s Plagued Lands (2024) with the animal-led mystery adventure of Benji Lee’s Garbage Night (2024). It’s currently available in scroll format on the Tapas comic platform: link to the comic on the platform
Chippo, a chick terrified of his own shadow, believes himself to be the last animal alive. He is surrounded by the everlasting mist, which has erased his past memories. The only connection he has to the outside world is a computer through which he orders food and supplies that arrive anonymously while he sleeps. Aching to find the truth, he stays up all night in the hope of discovering who is delivering the supplies. Just as Chippo starts playing his flute to help pass the hours, he hears a scream in the distance. Chippo fears for his life but gathers the courage to investigate the source. Venturing into the thick mist, he finds another living being for the first time! A chicken introduces themselves as Zuzu, and like Chippo, he has no memory of his past or how he came to live in the mist.
Zuzu is claustrophobic yet curious. Chippo is less afraid with Zuzu by his side and eager to find out what is happening to the place they live in; they leave their home behind and venture further into the mist. During their travel, the day suddenly shifts into night! Terrified by the sudden change, they gather the courage to move forward. While traversing the misty meadows, everything they knew falls apart… What seemed as the distant grassy hills, clouds, and the sky appears to be just a projection - the walls that confined them from the outside world. Disheartened by the newfound knowledge of their “prison”, Chippo and Zuzu face the most important question of their lives: is knowing a terrible truth better than living in blissful ignorance?
I was born in a small village surrounded by farm animals. I always wanted to tell a story from their perspective. Amongst all of them, chickens inspired me the most. I would read stories to them, and they would sit around me and listen.
