Untold #1
writer- Daniel Ferrand
artist- Johannes Vick
There are things our parents told us
that aren't exactly true. White lies; sometimes to spare our
feelings. Sometimes they're told to keep us safe. But sometimes
those little white lies are told because the truths are so horrible,
so terrifying, that we would be driven mad upon hearing them. And
sometimes they're even worse than that.
The Story:
Untold
is one of those stories. Creators Daniel Ferrand and Johannes
Vick have woven a tale of terror that feels like it could have
been handed down through the ages. A young woman, who has missed her
beloved grandfather for a decade, finally gets the strength to dig up
the truth of his whereabouts. For years she's asked, “Where is
grandpa? Why did he have to go away?” And the only answer she
would get was, “Your grandfather is a poorly man, but he loves
you very much.” If that answer sounds like a veiling of the
truth, you're thinking the same thing Alice did. Which is why she
went in search of her grandfather. What she found was a loving old
man in a creepy old hospital, with a dark secret all of his own; a
secret that might drive young Alice insane if it doesn't kill her
first.
The Project:
Writer, Daniel Ferrand and artist, Johannes Vick began
this Untold journey campaigning online through Kickstarter.
Untold is proof that hard work and the right amount of
charisma and public support, can really bring life to ideas. Of
course, these two gentlemen, who hail from the UK, give much thanks
to friends and family as well as their local comic shops for giving
them the right motivation to complete this project. Where that sort
of help is crucial when creating, these guys are way too modest.
Untold is a product of their hard work and their unique
vision, and it's success will come from them seeing that vision
through.
