DC Zoom has announced another new upcoming graphic novel, THE SECRET SPIRAL OF SWAMP KID, written and drawn by Kirk Scroggs. Scroggs discusses the project and gives a sneak peek at the art via The Hollywood Reporter. See a quick summary of this new project below:
THE SECRET SPIRAL OF SWAMP KID
Warning! Unless you have express permission from Russell Weinwright to access his notebook, do not read any further. Seriously, we mean it.
Okay, if you are still with us, here is what we can share: Russell is a middle schooler; he excessively doodles; he has two best friends, Charlotte and Preston; he is not so great at sports; and he is pond scum. Nicknamed “Swamp Kid” by his classmates, Russell has algae for hair, a tree trunk for a right arm, and a parsnip for a thumb. Also, Russell’s favorite meal is sunlight. Also, a frog lives in his arm.
In this notebook, Russell details in both hilarious text and color illustrations (complete with ketchup stains!) what it’s like to be different, to discover his true talents, to avoid the intense stare of Mr. Finneca (his suspicious science teacher who may also be a mad scientist), and to find humor in the everyday weird.
This is THE SECRET SPIRAL OF SWAMP KID by writer and illustrator Kirk Scroggs, and you’ll never look at middle school the same way again.
Written and illustrated by Kirk Scroggs
