Delirious Genius Turns Miami into Cauldron of Violence in ‘The Happy Few’
48-page one-shot marks comics writing debut of former Broken Frontier Creative Director Frederik HautainCan you imagine how mighty you’d become if you knew how to put the promise of superpowers in a tiny little pill? The world would be at your feet and you’d be heralded as a God. But just how far would you go to create such a drug?
In The Happy Few, now funding on Kickstarter, former Broken Frontier Creative Director Frederik Hautain makes his longer-form comics writing debut with a story about power and powerlessness, exploring how much in control of our destinies we really are.The Happy Few is a 48-page one-shot that centers around a cool local surfer dude named Len Jeffries who gets brutally beaten inside a Miami nightclub for hitting on the new prize girl of Mario ‘Fat Cube’ Hernandez, a local gang lord with too much platinum around his neck. As if by fate, he runs into Doctor Zeller, an evil genius who offers him a chance for retribution. All Len has to do is take one little pill, and he’ll be wielding way more power than he needs to get back at those stupid bastards… if all goes well, that is.Joining Frederik Hautain on The Happy Few are artist Germán Erramouspe (Crossed: Badlands, God Is Dead, Grimm Vol. 2), colorist Varga Tomi (Fistful of Blood, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghastly Tales) and letterer Thomas Mauer (Copperhead, Four Eyes, 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank).To gather the funds for the art, colors and letters to be completed, Hautain has launched a Kickstarter campaign at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/frederikhautain/the-happy-few.“It’s a dream come true to be starting my comics writing career,” says Hautain. “Germán, Tomi, Thomas and I have really clicked on this project and we can’t wait for our readers to hold the book in their hands.
