Alfred Packer and the Curse of Wetiko – by Hugo Hanriot Alfred Packer and the Curse of Wetiko By Hugo Hanriot A 2 page Comic Script Revised 01/13/17 ART NOTES: Wetiko is another word for Wendigo, which may be the more popular term for this entity. In Native American cultures, Wetiko is a cannibalistic monster or spirit. In essence, it is a metaphysical parasite, feeding off the souls of man. Wendigo has been depicted as a beast and was even a creature in the Marvel Universe. Wetiko is more of a disembodied apparition. Wetiko appears as a taupe, smoky, Gollum-like ghost. It has claws, fangs, and a haunting, demonic face. Wetiko has shark-black eyes and reptilian pinhole nostrils. Its mouth is misshapen, suggestive, and always open. Its Hungry Ghost cravings are never satisfied. This spirit is always ready to feed off its unwitting hosts. All references are in order at the end of the script. There are many GROUP SHOTS in this comic. Let the artist decide on angles and framing details. PAGE ONE – FIVE PANELS PANEL 1: BIRD’S EYE CROWD SHOT. The sun sets over Ute campfire. Mountains loom in the background, beyond the snow-covered ground. Utes sit on logs, surrounded by light-tan teepees. Chief Ignacio stands tall among them. A loose, spiraling, taupe plume of smoke hangs over the Utes. 1. CAPTION: Ute Mountain, Colorado - February 1904. Chief Ignacio speaks. 2. IGNACIO: Twenty winters ago, a great evil made its presence known. PANEL 2: A MID-SHOT of Chief Ignacio stands in the FOREGROUND. Campfire flames brighten his grim face. A GROUP SHOT of the Utes sitting in the BACKGROUND. Hovering over Ignacio’s left shoulder is the smoky, spiraling taupe cloud. Abstract, phantasmal shapes of Wetiko’s eyes, fangs, claws, etc. are floating inside smoke. 3. IGNACIO: Tribes of the North call it Wendigo, or Wetiko. A parasite of the mind that feeds on excess, desire, and greed. 4. IGNACIO: Wetiko energy is cunning and insidious. It led to the frightful demise of five prospectors. Alfred Packer and the Curse of Wetiko – by Hugo Hanriot PAGE ONE – FIVE PANELS (CONT’D) PANEL 3: FULL GROUP SHOT. Chief Ouray is in the FOREGROUND. He welcomes Alfred Packer and five other prospectors with open arms. The prospectors have long hair, beards, and goatees. They dress like laborers of the late 1800’s. A horse carries their supplies. The Wetiko cloud floats high above them. Its demonic features are less abstract and more obvious. Teepees, snow, and mountains are in the BACKGROUND. 5. CAPTION: The Montrose, Colorado area - January 21, 1874. 6. IGNACIO (OP): They showed up at Chief Ouray’s camp, on a quest for gold. Harsh winter weather had come, making the mountains dangerous. 7. IGNACIO (OP): Chief Ouray advised them to stay until spring. PANEL 4: GROUP SHOT of Packer, the five prospectors, and their horse. They turn their backs on Chief Ouray and the Ute camp. Wetiko has reached its final form. It hovers closer to the agitated, impatient prospectors. Ouray watches them leave with a somber, foreboding look. 8. CAPTION: February 9th, 1874. 9. IGNACIO (OP): Consumed by their desire for riches, the prospectors grew restless. They ignored Chief Ouray’s warning and left for the mountains. PANEL 5: GROUP SHOT. Packer stands outside of The Saguache Trading Post. Edging closer, Wetiko floats above him. Packer smiles at the fanned out dollar bills in his hands. He holsters a large skinning knife on his hip. Next to the Trading Post is Dolan’s Saloon. Men outside of the Saloon scowl at Packer. The artist decides on how many scowling men to include in the panel. See the references below for details on Saguache’s rectangular storefronts. 10. CAPTION: Saguache, Colorado - April 1874. 11. IGNACIO (OP): That spring, only one man returned. His name was Alfred Packer. 12. IGNACIO (OP): Packer was well-fed, flaunting unusual amounts of money. He carried a knife that belonged to one of the other prospectors. Alfred Packer and the Curse of Wetiko – by Hugo Hanriot PAGE TWO – FIVE PANELS PANEL 1: GROUP SHOT. The angry, scowling men from Dolan’s Saloon have Packer cuffed. Wetiko hovers over the mob, away from Packer. Packer looks scared and confused. A hangman’s noose dangles from a tree branch in the background, off to the side. General Charles Adams stands between Packer and the men. Adams is frantic, waving his hands to stop them from hanging Packer.

    Religious Affiliation of Comics Book Characters The Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Character Wolverine Logan, of the X-Men and the New Avengers http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/Wolverine.html Wolverine is the code name of the Marvel Comics character who was long known simply as "Logan." (Long after his introduction, the character's real name was revealed to be "James Howlett.") Although originally a relatively minor character introduced in The Incredible Hulk #180-181 (October - November, 1974), the character eventually became Marvel's second-most popular character (after Spider-Man).

  • Colonizing Fictions in New England Larp
    humanities Article Playing at the Margins: Colonizing Fictions in New England Larp Zoë Antoinette Eddy Department of Anthropology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA; [email protected] Received: 19 September 2020; Accepted: 10 December 2020; Published: 14 December 2020 Abstract: North American larping (live-action roleplaying) is a collaborative performance that encourages critical and creative engagement with cooperative, improvisational narratives. Nevertheless, larping often relies on problematic engagements with race and racial stereotypes. Like many gaming hobbies, larp uses the idea of a “playable race”. Unlike other gaming arenas, however, larping necessitates that players physically embody a character in order to participate in the collaborative narrative: larpers embody fictional races and engage in a complex form of “race play”. Within this context, non-Indigenous players frequently appropriate Indigenous cultural practices and mobilize racist stereotypes. This paper explores this phenomenon and its ramifications. Based on seven years of ethnographic fieldwork and community participation in New England larping communities, I examine how concepts of Indigenous identity manifest in New England larp. I explore both Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives in order to demonstrate (a) how fantastical play facilitates cultural appropriation and damaging “race play” and (b) how these spaces affect Indigenous players. I close with Indigenous perspectives on new possibilities for Indigenous larp projects and cultural reclamation. Keywords: indigenous anthropology; live-action roleplaying; embodied play; indigenous futurities 1. Outsiders “I don’t like you outsiders”, he says. “You come in and change things”.
