Drive by Dave Kellett
by GoComicsDrive tells the story of a second Spanish empire, a galactic empire and its looming war with a race called the Continuum of Makers. Humanity has built their empire using technology stolen from the Makers - and these creatures want it back with an almost-religious fervor. In the brewing war, it's clear that humanity will lose, and lose badly, unless they can find some advantage in battle. That hope arrives in the form of a tiny, mysterious creature who can drive a starship like no one's ever seen. Now all humanity needs to do is find 10,000 more pilots just like him. But no one knows where he's from.
In addition to Drive, creator Dave Kellett is the cartoonist behind Sheldon, which has been twice nominated for the Eisner Award. Kellett is the co-director of the 2014 feature documentary Stripped. Stripped brings together more than 70 cartoonists, including the notoriously-private Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson, to discuss the art of cartooning and the state of the newspaper industry. A huge success, Stripped reached the No. 1 spot on iTunes on the day of its release and won "Best Documentary" at San Diego Comic-Con in 2014. Read more about Kellett's work with Stripped here.
"Drive has had the most amazing response of any project I've ever done," Kellett said. "I created the strip for me, the strip I always wanted to read - not sure if anyone else would want to read it. But the amazing part is, thousands and thousands of people have responded to it with as much passion as I have. I can't wait for the story to begin on GoComics: A whole new horde of folks get to start from the beginning! That's super exciting."
