Ernest & the Dream Stone
Ernest Goes to Comics
After over 25 years since his last film, Ernest is back in a brand new graphic novel!
After over 25 years, Ernest is finally back in his first adventure — in his very first graphic novel! Coming to Kickstarter Sept. 17 — Oct. 17, with the help of all the passionate Ernest fans still out there, Ernest & the Dream Stone will be a fully colored, 150+ page book!
Scan the QR Code in the cover art above or go to www.ErnestGoesToComics.com . You’ll arrive at a landing page where you can fill in your email address. From there you’ll be sent free exclusive downloadable content and updates on the upcoming Kickstarter.
We need all the help we can get to make this dream become a reality!
We have an AWESOME artistic team, spearheaded by Illustrator M Arief Russanto and colorist Mariam Yasser. Cover art by Erwin J. Arroza. And they’ll be bringing to life the story that I wrote.
If you’re an Ernest fan, rest assured to know that over the last couple of years, we poured over the script, originally written as a screenplay, and even got creative feedback from story pros and even jokesters (Josh Holt, Mark Sanderson, Sean Strickland, Caleb Paschall).
Will we ever capture the pure magic of the Ernest films from the 80s and 90s? That’s impossible. But you can be damn sure we tried — even down to the granular level, like how the dialogue reads on the page so that you can hear Ernest’s voice — making this story as strong and Ernest-y as possible.
It’s a fantastic, spooky/scary story like Ernest Scared Stupid, perfect for the Halloween season. With the script finished, it’ll take around a year to produce the entire book.
This is OFFICIAL, Vern. We’re working directly with the rights holders of the film franchise and we’re endorsed by Justin Lloyd — Jim Varney’s nephew and author of his biography, The Importance of Being Ernest. Plus, Maureen “Momo” Edwards is helping us like a producer, marketing manager, and graphics designer all rolled into one.
Please consider helping us fund this project and bring Ernest to life again! KnoWhutIMean, Verns?
