The New Adventures of Kid Eternity: Pinned Post
...or, @earlgraytay tries his hand at webcomicking.
When I have pages, there will be links here.
Who is Kid Eternity?
Kid Eternity is a public domain comics character who's sort of the 1940s' answer to Danny Phantom and Fate: Stay/Night. The Kid is a young boy who was killed when the Nazis sunk his grandpa's ship and got sent to a Suspiciously Non-Denominational Cloudy Afterlife. But because he died years and years before his time, Kid Eternity was given the ability to go back to earth and right wrongs. When he says the word "eternity", he can summon the spirit of a historical/literary character and command them to help him.
Because Kid Eternity's in the public domain, he's had a couple different incarnations. From the DC Comics wiki:
Kid Eternity was created by Otto Binder and Sheldon Moldoff, first appearing in Hit Comics #25. However, the New Earth version of Kid Eternity first appeared in Kid Eternity (Volume 2) #1 by Grant Morrison and Duncan Fegredo.
What is this project?
I've wanted to work on a webcomic for a while, because that's the best way to improve one's art. However, any story I've concepted for one is either best told as Not A Comic or is beyond my grasp as an artist. So I figured I'd add a middleman, and redraw a story told by someone else.
The goal here is to copy a few old Kid Eternity stories -- picking ones that aren't flagrantly racist (ah, 40s comics), and redoing the art and the character designs in a style that I can consistently draw.
In the long term, my goal is to turn this into an episodic webcomic series with an ongoing metaplot-- inspired by shows like Teen Titans (2003) and Gargoyles.
