A new project, Fields of Dreams, is slowly becoming a reality. Fields of Dreams is a comic book is the story of a scarecrow that daydreams while standing in his corn field. As you have guessed, the comic is about imagination. Events that transpire around him will trigger his imagination and his day dreams. In his own mind, he looks more human than his true scarecrow form. It’s very “Don Quixote” in his mind. He battles dragons, monsters, a dark knight, space aliens, and whatever he can dream up.
The cast of characters includes the Farmer, the Farmer’s wife, their mean-spirited granddaughter Dot, Winston the old barn dog, and two crows named Sid and Marty.
Although the comic will have limited “text”, the story will be very imagination based. It’s our position that today’s video games, toys and even some books, tend to diminish a child’s use of imagination.
We are proposing a FREE volume zero issue, and potentially a digital comic available for download.
