The Blue Flame is 4 years in the making, and the final comic from indie label ‘Damn Dirty Comics’ a 150 page graphic novel that is set to be our magnum opus as well as our swansong.
This is the autobiography of Rees Finlay, he makes comics… or at least he used to, following a tragic accident his leg barely works, everyone he ever loved has gone and his passion is lost. He is broken. In his darkest hour a mysterious figure appears before him. She is the blue flame, and she is here to lead Rees on a journey through his memories to show him the painful truths that put him where he is now.
Motivations are questioned and loyalty is tested as she forces him to uncover repressed memories, take responsibility for his actions, and make decisions that will change his life forever.
Somewhere between ‘Fight Club’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’, The Blue Flame explores love, loss, guilt and what it means to battle your demons.
The Blue Flame will hit kickstarter on the 1st of February with the intention of crowd-funding to cover the cost of printing the book and getting it in the hands of as many people as possible. If that is successful the book will be released the following month.
The most personal project from Damn Dirty comics, the Blue Flame has been an incredible and emotional journey from reality to page. And for this to see completion we now need your help. Keep your eyes peeled on kickstarter for the project from the 1.2.17 onwards. And read chapter one for free over at damndirtycomics.weebly.com
