Mortus has to kill his creator so he can turn flesh and blood, the only issue is that you are the creator. In that instant, the main villain of his comic book, a powerful mutant named Mortus, manages to pop out of the pages and Sketch gets sent into the unfinished book. While Sketch is working late one night, a lighting bolt strikes his comic. Sketch came up with the stories from nightmares he was having. The story of his comic is about the ‘New World Empire’ trying to defend the Earth from an alien invasion. During the game’s opening, Sketch is working on his new comic book titled, you guessed it, Comix Zone. The story…Ĭomix Zone puts you in the shoes of Sketch Turner, a starving artist and freelance rock musician living in the Big Apple, New York City. SEGA of America’s marketing team wasn’t feeling it and changed the name to Sketch Turner and Morawiec redesigned him to give him a grunge look, which was very popular in the early 90’s. The idea of a geeky kid turning superhero wasn’t new to the comic world as it was pioneered by Captain Marvel in the late 1930’s. SEGA marketing had a hand in changing Peter Morawiec’s main character, then called Joe Pencil, who was a scrawny geeky-looking kid.
When Comix Zone finally came out in 1995, SEGA was already dropping support for the SEGA Genesis and advertising its newly released console, the SEGA Saturn. After STI finished wrapping up their work on Sonic Spinball, they finally started work on Comix Zone. Sadly, the game was soon put on hold as the team at STI had to work on Sonic Spinball, which was ‘kinda’ a tie-in to the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon by DiC Entertainment. The demo was well received and eventually got the green light and production began. After Peter Morawiec made demo animations on his Amiga, he pitched it to Roger Hector and Tom Kalinske. If the title didn’t give it away, the team was really inspired by their trips to their local Bay Area comic book shops. The game started mostly with the premise of its art style by concept, design & art director for the game Peter Morawiec.
