this was originally a screenplay. but is being made into a comic book series simutaneously.
the story takes place in the remote mining town of BODIE, located in the high sierras of california, east of San Francisco. along with a violent reputation that rivaled Tombstone and Deadwood during the late 1800s, the town of Bodie bustled with families, store owners, miners, robbers, gunfighters, and prostitutes. with its 65 saloons and 1 or 2 churches the violence in the town was a everyday experience. it is said that a man was shot freequently, keeping the undertaker from having a slow day.
taking place in 1882. during the time many eastern settlers had come to california to strike it rich. but beyond the quarrels of the town drunks and the excitment of the red light district is a hidden secret. lurking in the shadows of the town saloons is the vampire Frank Bodie, an inebriated and reclusive gunfighter who rather spend his time looking down the neck of a bottle of whiskey than providing his body with much needed nourishment of human blood. not one to get involved with the town affairs bodie does reach a point where he may have no choice to not only protect the townsfolk from the brutality of outsiders but himself as well.
this story is nothing like true blood or twilight. not to knock on those stories but the vampires in this one are not romantics, or even animals for that matter. in the coming weeks we will provide teasers that will take place weeks, months, and years before BMFB begins just to give you some backstory to some of the characters. we are looking at a january release of the first issue which will probably be online. and once we get a face for our main characters we will put the artwork up as well. thanks for stopping by.
