About
KikaMika Comics was born out of a desire to “break in” to the field of comic books. 
Concrete Martians - October 30th 1938, Orson Wells produces a radio show for Halloween. The Mercury Theatre Presents, H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds.
The tiny lumber town of Concrete, Washington, becomes the epicenter of Martian Invasion Hysteria when, at just the point when the Martians in the radio play attack, the power goes out.
UPDATE:: Emerald City Comic Con was a success. My goal was to place our story in the hands of publishers and I managed to get it to two. Avatar and Fantagraphics. Seattle has a legacy of Underground or Alternative comics and Fantagraphics are the pioneers here. The managing editor has a copy of our submission in his hands and said he would read it at his leisure and get back to me. He may or may not do so but he seemed genuine. Keith’s art got his attention and that was a HUGE first step. Stay tuned. . .
RECENT PRESS:
KOMO News.com recently did an article about our story. Click Here.
KOMO NewsRadio also interviewed me about Concrete Martians. Click KOMO Newsradio Interview.
DISCUSSION:
The War of the Worlds broadcast and it’s aftermath taught us some valuable lessons in Media Literacy. Today we refer to the events of October 30th 1938 with both cultish glee and as a heedful warning to future broadcaster as well as media consumers. Question: Could this happen again? This question and many others were discussed at length in a Radio-Lab Podcast from 2008. Listen to it here.
I will be posting various “in production” elements on this site as we progress through the production stage. It is a fun and informative way to showcase how Keith and I work together as well as a place to further expose our work to you.
