UK Indie Comics Creator Martin Simpson Launches His Latest Kickstarter Rasp Book One

Enter A Disturbing World

It’s already hit its target but Martin Simpson’s unique looking Rasp Book One can still be supported on Kickstarter…

Plot info about Rasp:

TAGLINE: A soulless detective conducts a seemingly simple investigation that turns into an incredible experience which will change him forever.

GENERAL STORY BLURB: Detective Agent Fritz Rasp works for ‘The Agency’… a ruthless, all-powerful institution that enforces order and discipline across a vast totalitarian city of enslaved people.

He is considered the perfect agent until the day his dark and puritanical worldview is challenged by a seemingly everyday investigation that quickly spirals out of his control and comprehension.

Now forced to question everything he believes in, something unexpected will awaken within Agent Rasp…

An imagination!

So begins the self-discovery of this once ‘soulless’ detective as he attempts to solve the greatest mystery of his life and escape from the prison he has been unwittingly born into.

BOOK ONE: THE SPINDLES

In this first part of a limited series, we see the very beginning of Rasp’s journey as a routine search for a missing employee of ‘The City’ turns into an experience that will change him forever.

NOTE: To give you a rough idea of the overall tone of the story… if you’re a big fan of things like: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Sherlock Holmes, Bladerunner, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, George Orwell’s ‘1984’ or V For Vendetta… there’s a good chance you’re going to like ‘Rasp’ too..
