Breaking new ground in ways to enjoy comics — Artists Writers & Artisans (AWA) and Snackshop are bringing KNIGHTED #1 to mobile screens in an enhanced vertical scroll format. Showcasing the incredible story by Gregg Hurwitz with art by Mark Texeira, colors by Brian Reber, and letters by Andworld Design, KNIGHTED is the world’s first “Snacktoon”, a unique experience with scroll-based parallax and 3D features.
“Readership of AWA comics on mobile phones is soaring and appears to have low overlap with our print readership, so we were naturally eager to partner with Snackshop to give fans a whole new type of scrollable experience involving motion and sound. The characters and setting of KNIGHTED make it the perfect story to showcase the power of snacktoons and how we can bring stories to life like never before,” said Matthew Anderson, CEO and Co-Chairman, AWA.
Cabot McMullen, Founder and President at Snackshop, said, “AWA’s gripping narrative is now more interactive, immersive, and more engaging than ever. These are just the first steps to an exciting new future for interactive storytelling, and we’re thrilled to launch it with AWA.”
Author, Gregg Hurwitz commented: “I’m supremely psyched to share this with you! It’s the coolest new reading experience in comics I’ve seen. Snackshop makes KNIGHTED leap off the page. See what you think.”
