Red Giant Entertainment Inc. (OTCQB: REDG) is pleased to announce
the launch of their all-ages property MEDUSA'S DAUGHTER. The title
will be available to readers in multiple formats and media.
There will be an online serialized comic at Red Giant's host and
strategic partner, Keenspot.com, which attracts 2.5 million unique
visitors monthly and is promoting MEDUSA across their entire
network. It will also be available as a print hardcover graphic
novel and as a text-only novel format as well at the same time.
"We're proud to have MEDUSA as part of our line-up of all-ages
webcomics," said Red Giant Board Member and Keenspot CEO, Chris
Crosby. "Its real-world supernatural delights join lighter fare
like Red Giant's BUZZBOY and ROBOY RED as high-quality comics
entertainment for the whole family to enjoy."
MEDUSA'S DAUGHTER tells the tale of fifteen-year-old sideshow
act Maia Volokos. Born with writhing ringlets and viperous locks,
Maia seeks the dangerous truth about herself and the parents she
never knew.
"This new retelling of the myth of 'Medusa' is destined to
become a post-modern classic," said Allan Arkush, Director and
Executive Producer of NBC's HEROES. "[It is] a creepy cinematic
graphic novel about life inside the circus sideshow of your dreams,
if your dreams resemble Nightmare Alley."
This innovative multi-format property is the brainchild of
photographic artist Steven Parke and writer Jonathon Scott Fuqua,
both of whom have worked on books and graphic novels that break
from tradition. Their foray into photo-based graphic novels began
with DC Comics' Vertigo imprint title IN THE SHADOW OF EDGAR ALLAN
POE, which was nominated by the Young Adult Library Services
Association (YALSA) as a Popular Paperback for Young Adults
(2005).
In creating the property, the pair had an altruistic goal: to
get readers to read as they prefer to read. While most books are
either formatted as prose novel or a graphic novel, MEDUSA'S
DAUGHTER was created as both at the same time. In addition to a
graphic novel, it's also available as a shorter, picture rich
version targeted to an audience with reading issues. This approach
can have a significant impact on readers who might challenge
themselves to read through the formats that offer slightly
different parts of the whole story, engaging different parts of
their brain, while still remaining stand alone books if choosing to
read only one version.
MEDUSA'S DAUGHTER books will be on sale in the Red Giant online
store at www.RedGiantEntertainment.com this week. It will also be
available on Amazon.com later this month, with brick and mortar
bookstores following shortly thereafter.
