A multicultural comic book featuring Native Americans.

To find out, watch our one-minute video, then return here.

PEACE PARTY, a bold new series from Blue Corn Comics, is dazzling readers with its fast-paced mix of action, humor, and intelligence. Critics and fans alike are calling it everything from "cool" to "thought-provoking" to "a revelation."

Written by Rob Schmidt, PEACE PARTY tells the story of two young Indians chosen by the gods to become superheroes. Unlike most comic books, PEACE PARTY uses the genre to present character-based dramas. It portrays Native people as they are today, free from myths and stereotypes.

With storylines ranging from prejudice and pollution to supervillains and the supernatural, PEACE PARTY is tapping into America's growing ecological, multicultural, and spiritual trends. "Comic book publishers must reach new readers with new kinds of stories or suffer," explains Schmidt. "Thus, PEACE PARTY, the right comic for the times."

PEACE PARTY stars two Hopi/Pueblo cousins, Billy Honanie and Drew Quyatt. Billy's an urban Indian, a lawyer, who's out of touch with his heritage. Drew's a reservation Indian, an artist, who's deeply connected to his heritage. Reconciling their differences, which represent the Native duality of "living in two worlds," is the heart of the series.

No. The name combines "peace" (the absence of war or other hostilities; harmonious relations) and "party" (a group of persons gathered together to participate in some activity). Our stories may have a political edge but it's not a requirement.

Tony Hillerman meets Harry Potter with a touch of The X-Files.

PEACE PARTY's creator, writer, and publisher is Rob Schmidt. He's a WASP who works as a freelance writer and has an abiding interest in Native and multicultural subjects. For details see the Biography page and More Background on the Publisher.

Yes. We've had and have Native people writing and drawing stories. We have a Board of Native experts who review the scripts and advise on Native issues. We have Native business partners who help market and sell the comics. And we're always looking for help in all these areas.
