The Big Belch — Kay Wood

THE BIG BELCH, Kay Wood's very funny graphic novel is about our seriously insane fossil fuel mania. A greedy oil company causes an enormous oil spill. In its desperate quest to save its bottom line and get the media off its case, the company tries a hastily concocted test of a volatile new oil spill cleanup method - despite the dangers. If this reckless experiment goes awry, it could blow up the world. Will a cast of assorted villains and general screw-ups connive and bumble toward disaster, or will a wild crew of environmental crime fighters save the day?

Written and illustrated by artist Kay Wood, THE BIG BELCH recently won The Leeway Foundation an Art and Change grant and successfully attracted start up funding on Kickstarter.
