I got started on my first "proper" comic (Vampocalypse #1) at the start of the March 2020 lockdown when I was furloughed from my job. I sadly had to return to work whilst my first Kickstarter campaign was live in September 2020... but 5 months later I was able to quit my job and I now live in this crazy world of creating comics full time... so thank you to everyone who's backed any of my campaigns because I couldn't have done this without you!

...And for anyone who has no idea who I am, and has never heard of any of my comics, this is the perfect campaign to discover me on! My name's Gary Parkin, and I decided, at 39 years old, to finally attempt to live my lifelong dream of drawing comics, and I started publishing three titles simultaneously: Vampocalypse, Model Behavior and Jungle Captive.

Each book is available in 3 great formats: Deluxe Hardcover, Trade Paperback, and Tiny Edition! So buckle up, and get ready for the amazing rides that are Jungle Captive, Model Behavior and Vampocalypse in our 3 fantastic collected editions!

Jungle Captive

When Lauren wakes up naked and alone in the jungle, she has no idea why she's there or how to find her way back to civilization. Over time she forms uneasy alliances with new Captive Emma, and the sinister Natalia, while also trying to outrun a deadly dinosaur, and shake off the effects of some mind-bending drugs!

Jungle Captive has been by far our most popular title, and one look at that gorgeous art and all those sexy women tells you why! And with a host of variant covers by some of the best in the industry, Jungle Captive has definitely been a fan favorite over on Kickstarter!

The Hardcover is a massive 300 pages, and includes Jungle Captive #1-5 and the Jungle Captive Winter Special #1 in their entirety, plus a huge cover gallery. The book is an oversized 21 x 30cm hardcover, with a stitched in green ribbon bookmark, and comes with a signed print of the cover art, plus a PDF of the book too. And that cover! The amazing Xong Brothers really came through for this one!

The Trade Paperback is a heavy 248-page book containing all of the comics (Jungle Captive #1-5 and the Winter Special #1) on extra-thick glossy paper stock in a stunning squarebound book.

The Tiny Edition is a 10.5 x 15cm edition of the book which contains everything that you'll find in the Trade Paperback, but in a handy pocket-sized edition!

The books are all complete and ready to go to the printer's, hence the very short turnaround time! I anticipate the books being with me by Mid-November, and then with you as soon as possible after that!
