The plot centers around Sketch Turner a starving comic book artist from New York City. The short demo explored how gameplay could be incorporated with comic book elements to create a simulated comic book video game. The concept for the game was conceived in 1992 when game designer Peter Morawiec created an animated demo video for the Commodore Amiga titled “Joe Pencil Trapped in The Comix Zone”. The development team expanded upon the concept to such an extent that Sega applied for and was granted a patent for a “Videogame system for creating simulated comic book game”. The bright colorful sprites and backgrounds along with the dynamic drawing style simulated superhero comic books.Įven though the comic book art style concept has been implemented in previous video games such as Batman: The Caped Crusader in 1988 by Ocean Software the team at Sega taken the idea to a whole new level. The game’s environment is set within the panels of a comic book with dialogue rendered within speech bubbles. Released in 1995 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive console the game featured a very unique art style for the time.
