Logline:
A story about one furry guy on a quest to find his true origins, unintentionally stumbling into adventure, mystery, and a secret ongoing extraterrestrial conflict over Earth and its unsuspecting occupants.
Synopsis:
Mitch mixes comedy, science fiction and urban fantasy, with character Mitch as the anthropomorphic lead, juxtaposed to the seemingly realistic world of the late 90s. It's chunky Roger Rabbit with a bad temper meets Indiana Jones, set in a Sam Raimi's looking cityscape. This mini-series combines several elements from native American mythology, as well as “star people” (or kachinas) folklore, retold in an ancient
astronaut frame, with the legend of Shangri La, a mythical lost city, as the centerpiece of the story.

Creator Quote
"In what is a usually risk-averse environment, Scout comics was willing to take a chance on me and Mitch, which says a lot about Scout comics and the people who comprise it. Bold publishers make for fresh comics and fresh ideas. All I hope is to give my readers a few new ideas, few new perspectives, which are essential for embarking on new adventures." - Maxim Šimić (creator/writer/artist)
"Working on Mitch was more than just a great excuse to finally do something with Maxim. Having lettered comics for comic artist friends, Mitch is my first work being published overseas. It was a big learning experience as well, working in another language, with a different lettering tradition. I am grateful to Maxim for having me on his project and to Scout comics for picking up this title. What do we do next?" - Josip Sršen (letterer)

Reviews & Testimonials
Maxim Simic’s new book, Mitch, a heady cocktail of folklore, sci-fi, espionage, and hardboiled pulp fiction, is literally like no other comic on the stands! Funny, beautifully drawn, and dripping with a kind of unshaven, unwashed, hungover charm, it’s irresistible. It kept me guessing, and I love that! - John Arcudi
