HOWIE THE HELLHOUND Is A Supernatural Dramedy About Satan's Favorite Pet Escaping Hell! Coming This October From Scout Comics!
Scout Comics & Sam Moore Have Partnered With Look Mom! Productions To Develop THE TRAVELER'S GUIDE TO FLOGORIA As An Animated Series.
July 11th, 2023 --Scout Comics & Entertainment and creator Sam Moore have partnered with Josh Bowen and Look Mom! Productions (Blue Ant Media) to develop Moore's sci-fi epic adventure tale THE TRAVELER'S GUIDE TO FLOGORIA as an animated series.
TRAVELER'S GUIDE TO FLOGORIA is an epic, alien world-spanning adventure that’s part Mad Max road movie, part Stand by Me coming of age journey, and part otherworldly travel and food show. It’s the story of an average joe, trying to survive in a world that’s 100% not average and 150% not Earth. We follow Harry Blandford as he attempts to navigate his way through the fantastic world of Flogoria. But the bizarre flora, fauna, and customs of his new environment aren’t the only things he has to contend with. He also has to learn to overcome the fears and anxieties of his, at times, uncooperative mind.
Look Mom! recently produced DOOMLANDS, created by Josh O'Keefe, for The Roku Channel. They also produced the award-winning series GARY AND HIS DEMONS, created by Mark Little, which was produced for VRV but later moved to Amazon Prime for its second season.
Josh Bowen wrote and Executive Produced the hit short format animated comedy series Goodwin vs. Badwin. In 2013, Josh joined Blue Ant to launch the adult animated comedy shorts program Bite on Mondo. The shorts were compiled into a series called Night Sweats, which airs on Teletoon and Adult Swim in Canada. Josh is currently spearheading Look Mom! Productions and in his spare time, Josh enjoys writing his bio and referencing himself in the third person.
Scout Comics & Entertainment was founded in 2015 and has over 250 titles in their catalog. Scout books have sold to Disney, Amazon Studios, Rooster Teeth, and FilmNation, among others.

CREATIVE TEAM
J.M. Ringuet (Story and Art)
SYNOPSIS
The planet Mykko, devoid of animals but populated by sentient bipedal mushrooms: the FUNG GI. An epic fantasy World like Feudal Japan and Ancient China, with fungi samurai, martial art mushroom fighters and wandering monks.
We follow Uril Barius, a resolute young female Fung Gi of the Cantha Clan, in her quest to unravel the mystery of her downfall.

QUOTE FROM THE CREATOR
“Getting FUNG GI published by Scout Comics is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I have been carrying this world inside my brain for years and to be trusted to put it on paper by such an innovative and active team is a privilege. Without Scout’s guidance, dedication and insight this book would not have become a reality.” -- J.M. Ringuet

Harry Blandford Is Stranded In The World of Flogoria. Can He Find His Way Back Home? TRAVELERS GUIDE TO FLOGORIA #1 Is Out This Month!
LOGLINE
After a freak work accident involving a fishing boat, a supposedly non-existent sea creature, and an interdimensional gateway, anxiety addled Harry Blandford finds himself stranded on the far off world of Flogoria. All Harry has to do now is survive long enough to find a way back home.
CREATIVE TEAM
WRITER AND ARTIST: Sam Moore
EDITOR: Andrea Lorenzo Molinari
SYNOPSISThe Travelers Guide To Flogoria is an epic, alien world-spanning adventure that’s part Mad Max road movie, part Stand by Me coming of age journey, and part otherworldly travel and food show. It’s the story of an average joe, trying to survive in a world that’s 100% not average and 150% not Earth.
We follow Harry Blandford as he attempts to navigate his way through the fantastic world of Flogoria. But the bizarre flora, fauna, and customs of his new environment aren’t the only things he has to contend with. He also has to learn to overcome the fears and anxieties of his, at times, uncooperative mind.
Whether he’s fighting off badlands bandits, trying to sneak past a nest of Snark Dragons, learning how to fire a Zarboogian Nork Rifle, or just trying to order lunch at a Flogorian restaurant, nothing is going to be easy for Harry Blandford.
THE SETUP
The small harbor town of Lytteltoon is moderately famous for one thing: The Kangalang Harbor Monster. Ever since the first sighting in 1855, tens of people have come to the area hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive creature. Last year, young Jimmy Brongle said he saw it, but that ended up being a lazy duck sitting atop a discarded sex doll.
Harry Blandford’s boss at The Creekchurch Press is busy working on a story about an old lady and a potato that looks like Tom Jones. So Harry (the newspaper’s graphic designer) has been lumped with the task of taking some fresh photos of Jork Smithe, an old sea dog that’s been telling tales about the Kangalang for decades.
He’s not a photographer or a journalist, so Harry’s already out of his comfort zone, and Harry Blandford hates being out of his comfort zone. He just wants to get in, take some passable photos, and get out. Then he can get back to the office, so he can pretend to work, while he looks at pictures of overweight animals on the internet. Harry won’t be seeing any chonky raccoons or chubby marmots anytime soon. It turns out the Kangalang is very real, and he’s going to meet it in the very near future.
QUOTE FROM THE CREATOR SAM MOORE
"I’ve had the world of the TRAVELERS GUIDE TO FLOGORIA in my head for a long time. It’s a world that I would think of when I couldn’t sleep, a place that I would daydream about when I was supposed to be working. I would think about what would happen if I suddenly found myself on an alien world. Could I eat the food? Would the underwear fit me? Do they have karaoke? You know, all the important stuff. I can’t thank the awesome people at Scout Comics enough for helping me get this story out of my head and onto the page."

Creator Quote
"Working with Scout is a huge honor for me. It's thanks to them that I have started to have a "name" in the American comic book industry, and I can call this a real job. Having a publisher like Scout is the best thing for me because—working alone as I do (and as I want)—they leave me total freedom and control of my IPs. That said, if I have any needs, I can count on my editor, the graphic design crew, and all the other members of the team. What more can you ask for?" -- Marco Fontanili, writer/creator

“This book means a lot as my first creator-owned series and I’m proud to have a name like Scout behind it. Taking the Internet hostage is something many parents have fantasized about, and now we get a taste of what that might look like.” -- Jay Sandlin
Reviews & Testimonials
“Barbie Reed may be breaking the internet, but she's saving comics. This book is exciting, politically pertinent, and brilliantly illustrated.”—Blake’s Buzz
“An engrossing introduction that addresses the fears of an all-too-familiar reality but with the sort of technicolor bombast only comics can deliver. Mom is coming to f**k some sh*t up, and this aging punk cannot wait to read what happens next!”—Eric Palicki (Fake Empire, Atlantis Wasn’t Built For Tourists)
“In a time where standing up for what is right is needed more and more, Jay Sandlin and his creative team delivers an entertaining comic adventure about activism that corrals the idea of freedom of speech and the freedom to assemble through the lens of a tech world that’s being heavily guarded and borderline ostracized by a warden of a President. With shades of what could come in real life, Mom Breaks the Internet is an engaging look at people fighting back, one that is inspiring and artistically captivating.”—Brian Hawkins (The Vineyard, Black Cotton)

Creator Quote
“Being given the privilege of having been accepted into the SCOUT COMICS family is just that, a privilege. As a Creator you devote a substantial amount of time into producing a book that does not guarantee you an audience, response or eyes of a Publisher. So to have one who puts out personal favorite titles like IT EATS WHAT FEEDS IT, GRIT and MULLET COP, then gives you the call to join this roster is absolutely everything. SCOUT to me is a true Publisher for Independents and one that I will promote as much as I can. If they believed in me, then I'll believe in them.” – Adriean Koleric
Reviews & Testimonials
“Adriean Koleric is fully within his element, creating one Hell of a ride that will leave you bloodied and squatting heels down with a cigarette!” - Cody (Keeping it Geekly Podcast / @keepingitgeekly)
“What an emotional roller coaster this entire series was. Oh, boy! Insane finale to a truly artistic, fun, and genre/barriers-bending series. A proper accomplishment, indeed.” - @lucifers_liege (Reader)
"Trakovi is a hilarious kickass throat punch of a book with killer art" - @40oz_Goose (The Pink Buzz Podcast)
"Tra-fkn-kovi is a fun cynical Ennis-esque ride as well as being gorgeous visually" -@00joepocket, The Pink Buzz Podcast)
“There’s always going to be an allure for unique storytelling and art style. Trakovi and unique go hand in hand, with the edgy/grunge art to the intense nature of the characters.” -@B-TV Podcast
“The art is boombastic and mind blowing, with a brilliant unique style. This is something to behold as the characters jump of the page (or screen) with an in-your-face style.” – Michael Nimmo (3 Million Years)
