This special edition fumetti project is a dark tale of two assassins and one final kill. It’s a noir-ish, first-person point-of-view tale of seduction and death.
An Interview with Sean McDevitt
Where did the story begin?
I was going to the San Diego Comicon in 2009 and wanted to have a simple story I could hand to publishers and other creative types. As a writer, it’s difficult to showcase what you can do in a format that publishers understand. So I decided a small 16-page booklet would do the trick.
The story is dark. Where did it come from?
The Beautiful Kill represents a decidedly dark time for me. The story itself came flowing out of me into a Moleskine notebook. I couldn’t stop writing as the story needed an ending, and the ideas were coming like lightning bolts.
It’s not a short story exactly. You created a fumetti. Can you explain what that is?
Basically, a fumetti is a photo comic. I didn’t have a penciler, inker, or a letterer to do a proper comic. I used a model and took photos after I had the story set, then experimented with various Photoshop settings to get the look for the entire piece.
Why only 99 cents?
I love this story and want more people to find it and read it.
