CHARLESTON, WV, USA, December 25, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This Year For the Holidays: All the Bad Children Get Coal, All the Good Children Get CARBON!
Instant Environmental Author: Daniel Boyd, author of new environmental horror graphic novel Carbon.

Instant Enviormental Horror Guest: Daniel Boyd
We all know how Santa brings gifts to all the good children of the world and all the bad children get a big black lump of coal in their stocking. Well this year, all the bad children may still get a lump of coal, but all the good children will be thrilled with their great stocking stuffer of Carbon! Carbon is a graphic novel that draws the attention of young and old alike.

Boyd is the author of the new graphic novel Carbon, a timely story set in the Southern West Virginia coalfields about an evil coal operator who lets his greedy disregard for miners' safety cause him to awaken and release a cursed and banished underground civilization of monster demons onto the surface.
Aware of the symbolism and sticky subject, Boyd says: “ Look, I know it’s not the most popular thing to say to a lot of people in the coal mining industry right now, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of mine operators have been raping and pillaging our state and taking the majority of the wealth out of here for over a hundred years. Now that the White House has its supposed “War On Coal” happening and the EPA wants to slash pollution from coal fired plants, these coal operators are in serious trouble because suddenly they have to play by the rules. So what do they do? They get a bunch of hard working miners all pissed off at the government, and then they close down the mines and lay off our miners and cripple our state’s economy instead of even trying to figure out how to make it work. Call me a tree hugger, but I'm sick of the way the industry is trying to push their big, fat lies down our throats. They have been manipulating and disrespecting not only the miners, but also us citizens with these deceptions."

About the Author:
Boyd’s new graphic novel Carbon is receiving its big national rollout from publisher Caliber Comics. Hollywood is showing interest in several Caliber titles, including Carbon. Boyd, a West Virginia State University Professor when he’s not making indy films and writing graphic novels, is about to wind up on the wrong side of the fence from a lot of his Mountain State neighbors.
In Boyd’s Carbon epic, the only thing that stands in the way of the end of the world is a tight knit group of courageous coal miners. In fact, Boyd dedicated Carbon to coal miners and says “ whatever side of the debate over the industry you fall on, miners are the often the unsung heroes.” Boyd says that he’s 100% “pro-miner”, and that his graphic novels “primary goal is to entertain, but the story also reflects many real and complicated issues that face the coal industry today.”

Zero Gravity Management in LA represents Carbon publisher Caliber Comics intellectual property for development across all multimedia platforms. “This could ultimately result in a Carbon movie or television series, which of course could be great for West Virginia and the people here. Somehow I doubt if the West Virginia Coal Association will be coming aboard as a supporter though, and that’s pretty bad, since their supposedly beloved coal miners are the heroes of our story”, says Boyd. “But they know where their bread is buttered, and I’m sure some coal operators, will have something to say after they get their hands on Carbon.” Boyd is also a filmmaker of cult classics including Strangest Dreams: Invasion of the Space Preachers and Chillers (the big screen version of one of his previous graphic novels). Troma has just rolled out a DVD double feature of these two will be available on his website in time for the holidays this year!

“Boyd marries sci-fi monster flick ideas with Appalachian tragedy, showing us imaginative allegory and authentic profundity do not have to be mutually exclusive.” Chris Oxley, Ain’t it Cool News.
