HELL TOUPEE IS ON ITUNES.

HELL TOUPEE, my graphic novel, is now available as an iBook on iTunes. Click here to download HELL TOUPEE. When the world's first genetically engineered living toupees escape from the lab on an island off the U.S. coast and go on a murderous rampage, the only person who can save the world is Rose Thorne, the local barber.  She makes Sweeney Todd seem like Floyd the Barber.  HELL TOUPEE is a slam bang action/horror story with satire of corporate and government corruption and baby boomers' vain attempt to recapture their youth.  During the course of this big adventure, Rose is full of quotable wisecracks.  Readers have called HELL TOUPEE "Scooby Doo on acid." (Personally, I think I was more influenced by Jonny Quest than Scooby Doo).

As an animator, I set out to do a graphic novel a little differently.  It always bothered me readers of a comic book page could always skip to the bottom and ruin the suspense or ruin a gag.  To keep that from happening and to keep the pages turning, I wanted to only show one panel per page.  I was allowed to do that with iBooks.  It came out like a slideshow, or a storyboard.  I also hope to turn it into an animated feature sometime in the near future.

It is $10.99 on iTunes.  I think that is a bargain since it is 867 panels.  Sometime soon, I will have a serialized version of HELL TOUPEE on iTunes in three parts.  Each part will be $5.99.

With iTunes and iBook Author, I was able to have it come out the way I wanted it.  I hope you enjoy it.  If you like it, please recommend it to your friends.  If you hate it, please recommend it to your enemies.  Either way, I make a sale and can keep making more graphic novels.
