1ok is a start-up publishing company; we
focus on graphic fiction (i.e., web & print comics, graphic novels) and
target online and mobile readers
1ok is creating an open-source comic universe, with
characters who master the science of suspended animation, and
travel through time into to a bright, beautiful future
1ok is commissioning pilot stories, that
establish core characters and plots, and
are contributed to the public domain
The Artist and Living the Dream are 1ok’s first public domain stories
The Artists stars a graphic & martial artist who has been travelling through time for centuries and now lives among Wall Street occupiers and Tea Party protestors in New York City
Living the Dream revolves around someone like many of us.
1ok is also commissioning pilot stories, that
feature proprietary versions of our core characters and stories, and
are intended for commercial exploitation across multiple media
Wake the F#ck Up is 1ok’s first proprietary story; it
picks up where Go the F#ck to Sleep left off, and
ends with two teens joining the Occupy Wall Street movement
To start, 1ok will publish digital storyboards; these are
a series of single-panel illustrations (with dialog and narration)
designed for distribution across multiple digital platforms
1ok is developing an innovative digital storyboard player, that
provides and immersive reader experience,
a creator-friendly interface for loading stories
1ok will establish a network of creators, who
contribute stories to the open source universe, and
publish proprietary stories using the digital storyboard player
