The story: “Redlighter: Light It Up” is the debut issue of the Redlighter series, which stars Capt. Denny Amberjack, a fox who is a lighthouse keeper. As a member of the U.S. Light House and Rescue Corps, his responsibility is keep incoming ships, his lighthouse and his port safe. He puts that promise to the test when pirates invade the town of Port Carpenter.
The story behind the story: This comic was written and drawn by me, John Simcoe, while surfing on Wikipedia. There I discovered the one-time existence of the U.S. Lighthouse Service and soon began reading the heroic accounts of the its keepers and its sister organization, the U.S. Life-Saving Service. I put together a quick story, populated my world with Disney-style characters and began drawing. This is my first official comic, so I hope you enjoy it. Feedback is appreciated and welcome.
Sample pages: Here are a few samples of what’s inside. The actual comic pages begin shortly after Capt. Amberjack answers his door to a frantic Billy the Walrus, who’s been out to sea on a whaler, only to be captured by pirates.

Red Lighter shows the life of a light house keeper in a non-boring way. Turning the characters into animals was a wise choice.
