Big Man (Unfashioned Creatures)

The “Big Man” is the local 'boogey-man' for the kids at play on a small vacation island off the coast of Maine. But it only takes one careless moment for a magical summer to becomes a lifetime's regret…and the local monster is an all-too-convenient scapegoat.

Writer C. M. Beckett and artist Gary Fitzgerald explore the coming-of-age aspects of Mary Shelley's great novel in “Big Man,” a story of child-like desires and adult consequences. The digital download includes extras you can ONLY get online, including a BONUSpage from “Smooshenstein,” a mini-series by Damien Lucchese, art by Maritsa Patrinos, featured as part of extras in this digital download.

C. M. Beckett has also written for Pulse, contributed to the flash fiction sites 50 Years From Now and Elephant Words, had short stories published by Ape Entertainment, Dark Recesses Press, and Top Shelf Comics. You can see more of his work at www.warrior27.com and www.readingwatchmen.com.
