About this ebook

This 2009 comic flick tells a story based on Franz Kafka's novel, "Metamorphosis" about an English student named Alex Kovorkian, who has been bitten by a mutant-fly, while on his way home from school. As he is at home reading Franz Kafka's, "Metamorphosis", coincidentally, a novel for which he is assigned to read for his 'reading' class, Alex begins to transform into a 'fly'. Throughout the comic book, Alex explores his multi-fly abilities, as Flyboy. Near the end, there has been a bomb planted inside London University. So, for the school to be saved from absolute destruction, Alex must transform into Flyboy to be able to go through a vent to remove the explosive and discard it into outer space. As a result, the day has been saved with the University of London not being destroyed.

About the author

Prasaad Agbotakou-Bush (commonly known as Prasaad Bush), 30, is an American graphic designer, artist, author, businessman, entrepreneur, and marketeer, who is of West African descent. He was born on August 23, 1990 in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. to his parents, Guitou A. Bush, mother from Lome, Togo, West Africa, and Anthony Maurice Bush, father from New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A. At the age of 5, his father taught him how to draw and he picked it up naturally. At such a young age, Prasaad started making models from construction paper. In 2002, he received a "Star Wars Episode 2: The Attack of the Clones" comic-book for his twelfth birthday, from his father.

 

As a solo artist who gets his inspiration from contemporary Japanese anime-and-manga, Prasaad often creates anime fan art posters and comic-strips. Growing up as a teenager, he watched T.V. shows on Cartoon Network's Toonami and Adult Swim such as "Yu Yu Hakusho""Cowboy Bebop", "Dragonball", "Trigun", "Gundam Wing", "Big O", "¡Yu-Gi-Oh!", and "Inuyasha", just to name a few. Throughout his years in middle school, he would often read Marvel comic-books such as Spiderman, The Avengers, DC (Detective Comics) comic-books like Batman, Superman, a few 'Star Wars' adaptations, as well as a comic-book version of the popular animated film 'The Ani-matrix', that is based from 'The Matrix' film franchise.

 

In September 2006, Prasaad created an animated series called "V.I.C.'s (Vault Insider's Club)" (2006-2013), which is drawn in a contemporary art style that mixes anime-manga with 'western' animation. During his junior year in high school, Prasaad ultimately became interested in drawing comics. Thus, in the summer of 2008, he produced the first issue of V.I.C.'s entitled, "Surprise Party (Birthday Surprise)".

 

During his senior year of high school, Prasaad was commissioned to come up with a comic-book that was based on Franz Kafka's thrilling novel, "Metamorphosis". As a result, he produced "Flyboy" (2009), his very first comic-book that took him about two weeks to complete. Over the years, he has produced multiple comic-books of his own and has self-published different versions of them in a variety of languages, each in different formats as well as written novels. The types of genres his comic-books are about are mostly fictional; action-adventure, fantasy, magic, suspense-thriller, humor, with some being science-fiction, adaptations, and has produced a few biographies such as, "Master Works of Art (2010-2014)" (2014) and "My Homeless Days" (2020), a few books in the non-fiction genre, such as "Dragonflies: An Ode to the History of Japanese Airfleet" (2016), as well as a humorous joke-book called, "My Book of Pranks" (2018).

 

In 2015, Prasaad developed a new animated comic-book series called, "The Awesome Adventures of Koffi & his Friends", an idea that his father gave him during his college years, which eventually lead to him producing the debut of this anime comic-book series entitled, "The Prequel", during the summer of that same year.

 

Prasaad continues to be the sole contributor of his works, earning all of the rights for the contributions to them.
