Willow Creek: The Comic
Now that Beranek is done with Willow Creek, he is moving onto other projects. He has a graphic novel with Belgium artist Mario Boon called Venice is Sinking coming out soon, and a one-shot comic book titled Unhappy White Girls. He also has “some projects in the works with Ahmet Zappa,” which he is keeping secret at the moment.
With Willow Creek set to hit stores in February and studios looking to make it into a film, this may be the project that makes Beranek a household name and expands the public’s knowledge of the town itself. Long famous in Bigfoot circles, Willow Creek may soon be known to general comic book and film audiences, too, and that will mean more exposure and, of course, more tourist dollars. And while the town may not have murderous werewolves (or even Bigfoot, if you believe the skeptics), it inspires the best in artists of all sorts, and this comic book series proves it.
