Dan Baillie is a horror fan who has written a new graphic novel entitled ”Look Out,” with artwork from horror icon Tim Bradstreet, known for his work on The Punisher, Hellblazer, and Star Wars. The story of how Baillie’s short story was published on Reddit, only to be picked up by AWA Studios and turned into a graphic novel, is one of the most unique origin stories in comics.

The story of Look Out: Oscar, recuperating from a divorce, takes a job as a fire lookout in a secluded forest outpost, hoping for solitude and a fresh start. But his quiet retreat takes a sinister turn when he discovers a mangled sheet of paper scrawled with a strange set of rules that claim to ensure he’ll stay safe during his watch. At first, Oscar laughs it off as a prank, – a bit of harmless hazing from the other fire lookouts in the area – but as night descends, he comes to a horrifying realization that the rules are no joke, and the threat they protect against is all too real.

In this episode, Baillie tells the great story of his journey from writing the story to posting on Reddit and ultimately publishing the book. He also explained that now that he has had one story published, he wants to write a prequel or a sequel.
