Inspiration comes from the weirdest places at the oddest times. Proof of that is sitting there, to the left. You remember that Pac-Man post a did a couple of days previous?
No? Go ahead and take a look. It's okay; I'll wait here until you're done.

So, that silly movie trailer got the old gears turning, and last night I sat at the art table and whipped this out. What is it? Well, it's the first visual work up for Neverland Transit Authority's next comic; "The Runner."
Set in a not too distant future where cities stack on top of each other and sprawl out for miles like twisted labyrinths, the only way to move sensitive information and packages is through a system of licenced specialized couriers; trained and prepared to move what you have to where it needs to go by any means necessary. Johnny Mann is one such runner; employed by Priority Allied Couriers. (P.A.C.)
Johnny has just been given an ultra-sensitive assignment; to move a package from the Nippon Imperial Union, across the Pacific Ocean, and to a firm in the United Pacific Coast; a small nation formed, after the fall of the United States, from the former states of California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada.
But, danger lurks as ever step, turn, and twist is a high stakes race to complete the job, and stay alive. What secret does he carry in his satchel? How do they know his every move? And who is the mysterious woman that is tailing him at every turn?
The Runner... "In the city of tomorrow staying still will eat you alive."
