7. THE COMICS

8. The A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT comic book miniseries is a
prequel to the acclaimed independent film of the same title which
follows ‘The Girl’, a centuries old vampire as she stalks (and skates)
the sordid streets of Bad City, a fictional Iranian ghost-town, all
the while dealing with the existential crisis of immortality. Radco
co-founder Jon Conrad is an editor and head of production for the
comic series.
A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT is a 2014 film by director / writer
Ana Lily Amirpour. The film was distributed in the US by Kino Lorber
with marketing by VICE. The film has won numerous awards and
was a hit with moviegoers and critics. Radco co-founder Ben
Conrad is an executive producer on the film.
“A new vampire classic, one to treasure endlessly" - The Playlist
“One of the best films of the year" - The New Republic
“Moody and gorgeous" - The Hollywood Reporter

11. “If you’re looking for a dark, down-to-earth story that challenges you with a real-world
view of life, mixed with a dash of mystery and suspense, then I would definitely
recommend picking up Bad Summer Vol.1." - EATGEEKPLAY
“The fact is you’ll want to read the next volume. Right now. It’s that good." 9.5/10 - AIPT
BAD SUMMER is an environmental horror story written and
illustrated by Ed Laroche about a heatwave in Los Angeles that
constantly increases in severity. The story follows Alain and Shar,
a struggling couple in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles,
whose resolve will be tested as the rising temperature pushes
everyone around them to the absolute brink of sanity.
BAD SUMMER is currently being developed as a feature film with
director Paul Minor and talent agency UTA. The graphic novel was
created with a film in mind and was developed as part of an
option agreement through Radco and partner film company
General Population, which was co-founded by Ben Conrad.

15. Set in a near-future dystopia, ALMIGHTY is the story of a girl
abducted by a motorcycle gang and the bounty hunter; a 'Jane of
all trades', sent to find her and bring her home.
In collaboration with Ed Laroche, Radco released a limited digital
exclusive edition of ALMIGHTY volumes 1 & 2 on ComiXology for
2015/16.
“The action is glorious and perfectly rendered, with writing somewhere between Dave
Lapham and Brian K. Vaughn.” - DAVID BAXTER, BROKEN FRONTIERS
“Goddamn Amazing." - PATTON OSWALT

18. NEXT STEPS

19. IMMERSIVE
COMICS

20. Through our experience in creating commercial content, we
have recently embarked on creating 360 VR content for the
Oculus Rift. We were excited by the potential of this medium
and are currently developing a companion VR piece that will
release to coincide with the graphic novels for A GIRL WALKS
HOME ALONE AT NIGHT and BAD SUMMER.
We want to create a unique experience that is fully immersive,
something different than the motion graphic animated panel
videos you currently see out there. We want to take a title with
a built in audience and buzz to the next level. This could
become the new norm for comics. All of the VR content will
work as short companion pieces to the comics; no reading
involved, just cool experiences inside creative space. We are
developing a destination site for this content with an eye on
monetization. The content will be formatted for desktop, mobile
as well as VR.
This will work as a VR comic as well as a desktop interactive
experience.

22. PROMOTION

23. The special edition Blu Ray for A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT was
designed by Radco. It will feature a mini booklet containing the comic. The iTunes
special release will also feature the comic as additional content. We also created a
skateboard that has been popular with fans of the book and the film. We will
continually work with the best vendors and find fun ways to create merchandise
for our properties.
