An Eighteen Page Sneak Peek Preview of [Forty Five] 45
 |
[Forty Five] 45 is a brand new Original Graphic Novel (OGN) released by indy publisher Com.x. [Forty Five] 45 is written as series of interconnected Superhero interviews documented by the fictional character James Stanley. The Story, or rather interviews, are written by Andi Ewington and what makes the project unique is that each of the forty five pages of art that accompany the interviews have been illustrated by different artists, with no predetermined brief given, and just using the accompanying interview text for inspiration.
The story is a series of interconnected interviews documented by the fictional James Stanley. As a soon-to-be father, James wants to find out what lies in store for his family if his unborn child turns out to have a Superpower.
The story of Forty Five follows Journalist, James Stanley, who is faced with the imminent birth of his child. Having decided to forego the test that would determine whether his child is carrying the all-important “Super-S” gene, which differentiates the genetic makeup of a superhero from that of a normal person, James sets out on a quest to interview forty-five super-powered individuals in the hope that their experiences may better prepare him for the birth of a child that is potentially gifted with extraordinary abilities. On his journey, he encounters characters from all walks of life; from single mothers struggling to raise gifted children, to rebellious super-teenagers, all the way through to those reaching the end of their lives. But what starts as a voyage of personal discovery becomes something far more ominous when he crosses paths with an organization known as XoDOS.
