“Godfather of Shock Rock” Alice Cooper has become the next
major celebrity to begin using Kickstarter. His project is called Uncle Alice Presents, and draws
inspiration from popular shows such as Tales
from the Crypt, The Twilight Zone,
and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The
project is initially being developed as an anthology of comic books and a
graphic novel, but Cooper desires to see it eventually become a television
series. In the stories, Cooper will portray Uncle Alice, a recurring character
which serves as “gatekeeper of the netherworld.” It will present short shock
rock and horror based stories which Cooper suggests will take on a grindhouse
style. The initial goal is just a twelve-issue series, though Cooper sees it
expanding much farther. Those who pledge $10 or more may submit ideas to be put
in future comics. As of now, the project has reached almost $50,000 out of its
$200,000 goal.
