BITEMARK
Life as a corporate drone couldn’t kill Miki - but this might…
Following in the tradition of classic horror tales like An American Werewolf in London, Ginger Snaps, and The Howling, Bitemark is our take on werewolf lore. Although treated like a curse by some, lycanthropy is a superpower—a means to reinvent the identity of our protagonist through bestial strength and instilling fear at just a glance of the furry mutated form. This blood-shedding power is tempting to a timid office drone like the protagonist, Miki, who is trampled upon by her A-Type coworkers.
Miki must stand up for herself when she has withstood enough of her malicious coworkers taking advantage of her. A healing retreat with her best friend, Ana, instead brings Miki more trouble when Ana reveals a monstrous path to revenge that involves a particular carnivorous diet that she’s not sure she’ll be able to stomach.
Successfully Kickstarter through Lucha Comics, Bitemark is my first major collaboration with writer Michael Stinson, a Philadelphia based screenwriter. Since completion of this graphic novella, he has become one of my closest collaborators, and we continue to pursue other projects together.
