For immediate release For further info, contact Max West, info@sunnyvillestories.com SMALL PRESS COMIC, BIG WORLD New creator debuts a well-written comics series Comics writer-creator Max West announced the first print release of Sunnyville Stories, a comics series in development for nearly two years. Sunnyville Stories is a slice-of-life comic centered around the small idyllic hamlet of Sunnyville. The town is home to families of anthropomorphic animals dressed in traditional clothing - males wear suits and females wear dresses. The series itself revolves around two feline teenagers: a silver tabby recently moved into town named Rusty Duncan and a butter cream furred country girl named Samantha “Sam” Macgregor. The second episode of the series, entitled “Multiball Madness”, is now available as a 40-page magazine-sized comic. The plot involves Rusty being challenged by local rich girl Rose Von Straussen after hearing him brag about his pinball playing skills. Can Rusty triumph over Rose when they play their game? Or will Rusty see his fledgling reputation shot amongst the town’s youngsters? The second episode continues to build upon the rich universe of Sunnyville, introduced in the series’ first episode. The series pilot episode “Beginnings” is available for free, currently being serialized through the creator’s blog. “I was taught to write what you know,” Max West says, “And what I know are my own personal experiences of having to face a challenge and of showing others what I can do.” The clean, straightforward line art of Mr. West’s comics evoke the feel of traditional newspaper comics and the work of Expressionist painter/draftsman Paul Klee - both of which Mr. West has cited as artistic influences on his work. Max West resides in New York and holds a degree in creative writing from Baruch College. He has also trained at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, receiving training from experts in the comics field. At the time of this writing, the third episode of Sunnyville, an adventure story called “the Train Robbers”, is being inked. It is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2011. Sunnyville Stories #2 is currently available through IndyPlanet.com and ComicsMonkey.com at a retail price of US$ 2.99.
