CAPTAIN KITTY HAWK is a sci-fi parody, a romp in the hilarious recesses of a deranged mind.
A legendary girl scientist leads a band of disgruntled mailroom workers through strange lands on a journey to help a band of peace loving alien rock musicians return to their home planet.
Will it all go postal!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ABOUT THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL
This Graphic Novel a work in progress, (WIP). I started it way back in the distant past when I did eight years in a maximum security prison – as a teacher.
It’s a intertextual anomaly whose inspiration comes from a variety of sources including the guys I taught in prison, all NSW Aboriginal men; a dream I had about a girl and a hawk; and other weird experiences with Aboriginal Clever Women I had too crazy to mention.
After a long hiatus from teaching in jails to work in post production houses such as Ambience, Animal Logic, Cutting Edge, Digifilm and Photon I am back teaching and writing.
While working at Animal Logic some bright producer suggested I turn ‘The Hawk‘ into a cult comic.
Right shall I just advertise for cult followers then?

Anyhow………
Captain Kitty Hawk – The WIP Files, is both literal and metaphoric. CaptainKitty Hawk the Graphic Novel will be organic, grow and change over time. Pages might go up and then they might come down and go up improved. She will have a digital home and is intended to be read on line I have NO plans for a print run.
The WIP Files also stand as a metaphor for the growth of Kitty and her companions. Life is a journey not a destination.
