Stu & Optic Sugar will be creating the  serialized short The Dark Spiral to be included as a segment in “The Devil Has A Variety Show“.

Jorge Vega, creator of the comics Gunplay & Kaeru Boy and winner of the 2007 Comic Book Challenge, has joined The Devil Has A Variety Show crew.  Jorge will be bringing his epic 9 Months to life as an animated series.  9 Months is the story of a pregnant seventeen year old, Thomasina Bigger.  After Thomasina kills the child’s father in self-defense, the father’s brother, a powerful druglord, vows to kill Thomasina as soon as her baby is born, giving her 9 months to live.   Thomasina picks up a gun and begins a journey which will transform her, testing her humanity along the way.

“Show me a story of a pregnant girl holding a gat and I’m hooked” said DHVS creator, Mark Fogarty.  ”I had a chance to read 9 Months and was blown away by the depth and power of the story.  Jorge is an incredible writer with a real instinct for storytelling.  We are honored to have him involved in the show.”  

The comic 9 Months is published by Two Fisted Press.   Issue 1 is already available for purchase.
