The Stuff Of Legend Book 1: The Dark
Project Overview
In 1944 Brooklyn, band of toys goes on a journey into the Dark realm to rescue a young boy, who is their owner, from the infamous Boogeyman. In the Dark Realm, they change, from toys to creatures of flesh and blood. As they venture into the Dark, they battle the Boogeyman's forces, composed mostly of bitter, lost toys, fallen under the fearful powers of their Dark master.
The Stuff Of Legend is a comic by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith that I have enjoyed a lot since finding. It's highly under rated and I have yet to see a comic dub of it, so I want to make it happen. There are a few mildly adult things in this such as gore, sexism, and mild racism
*****Rules *****
1. Please be invested and be able to show emotion. I hope to have this comic be an ongoing thing if possible and most characters are reoccurring
2. Have a good mic. with no background noise.
3. There are a few mildly adult things in this comic, so I would prefer my actors to be 16+
4. If cast, please make sure to provide me with a way to contact you. Discord is preferred
NOTE: I own nothing. This is a fan project

Max is The Boy's Teddy bear. He tends to be angry a lot, mostly as he feels he failed The Boy and is determined to get him back
Voice type: low gravelly
No Percy, I'm not. He was so strong. I thought I could... I just couldn't. I'm sorry.
(roar optional) Rawr! Release them, or I'll disarm your men at their shoulders!
I'll break Jester out myself and then we'll... *growls*
Jester is The Boy's Jack-In-A-box. He is almost always in a good mood, very spunky and confident. He loves the rush of battle.
Voice type: cheery middle range. British accent preferred, but not necessary to land role
Reinforcements? Splendid. More battle awaits
I ask you this: Have any of you ever won this game? No?
(Flirty) You really should stay back, M'lady. This fighting does not become one as gloriously beautiful as yourself
Harmony is a metal angel. She is very caring and motherly, playing the peacekeeper amongst the team. Although she is very kind and soft spoken, she does know how to lay down the law when need be.
Voice type: soft, gentle voice. Think a mix between Disney princess and motherly
( note: I might end up voicing her)
I will look after you. It will be alright, Percy
That is ENOUGH! From all of you, but especially you, Maxwell. Scout fought by your side valiantly. We are in this together. Act like it.
Scout did his best to warn us, but the monster that grabbed him was far too swift.
Percy is The Boy's piggy bank. He is very clever, but also very nervous as he is actually a double agent
Voice type: a bit nasally medium to deeper voice that can be nervous one moment and biting sarcastic the next.
And here we sit shivering...lost! We should return home, now!
I'm more interested in the... consequences for those who defy the Boogeyman. I mean do not all toys serve him here?
For me? This is... wonderful.
Princess was one of The Boy's Native American figurines. She doesn't talk much, but asserts her dominance with great patience and strength. She is wise and can handle herself in a fight
voice type: medium low tone. strong, but not cruel.
Mattape, Gentle Animal. All will be put right.
We have nothing. You took everything when we arrived.
Hello, Jester. You finally escaped.
Quackers is the Boy's pull along wooden duck. As such, he is very energetic and juvenile. He doesn't really seem to grasp how serious the situation is, but wants to help none the less.
Voice type: higher young teen/child. Think your typical loud middle school boy, but quackier.
NOTE: can be voiced by a male or female actor
Yes, sir! Besides, you're too fat to fly!
what was that racket?! Where's Maxwell? Are we under attack?!
(drunk) Hear hear! *Hiccups* we agree a hunnerd pershent, your mayorness. Ain't that right Max ol' pal?
Colonel is one of the Boy's toy soldiers. He is brave and takes his job very seriously. He cares deeply for his team as well as the Boy and will do what it takes to keep them safe.
Voice type: medium low. Think your stereotypical American soldier boy
Note: Only appears in the first few chapters
We've got them on the run, but I don't expect they'll be too long in getting reinforcements.
Your world or his, I'm still a soldier. I just want what you've taken. Otherwise, I'll have to do to you what I have trained my whole life for.
I'm proud of all of you. All right then. Let's move out.
The Boogieman is the main monster who runs the darkness. He has taken the boy, but no one is sure of his reasons. He is sarcastic, tricky, and likes to play with his prey. He is not know for his patience.
Voice type: just sinister, akin to that of Laughing Jack from Creepypasta or Lunatic from Tiger and Bunny
( sarcastic) Now let me guess... CLEARLY the colonel sent a brave soul such as yourself back for reinforcements?
That's right. I'm the Boogeyman. And you are the one I need, Percy.
(Enraged) Hurt is all there is. That, I can absolutely guarantee.
Mayor presides over the town of Hopscotch, a town that is all one giant game. He works for the Boogeyman. He is a very jovial, condescending, and at times flirtatious old man.
Voice type: middle range. I imagine his voice to be similar to Mr. Hariman from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
NOTE: he is a reoccurring character and will become more important later in the series
But first, a kiss goodnight, my sweet. Your time here will surely be more pleasant than living on the barren outskirts of the jungle with your heathen tribe.
Gather around citizens for the drama! The excitement! Hopscotch's grandest game!
Gah! How dare you shoot the mayor! You will be broken into bits and fed to -
A dim-witted little man who is more like a pet than a right hand man to the Mayor. He is easily excited and likes making others suffer.
Voice type: something goofy or goblin-like
Trip to the Clink, Oinkers!
The letter says it all! P-please... don't hurt Minion.
Rule breakers! A card *huffs* from the *huffs* cheater deck!
A bitter wooden baseball player who works for the Boogeyman. He has lost all sense of wonder, now filled with coldness and rage. He hates being talked down to
Voice type: medium higher, perhaps with a Brooklyn or Jersey accent
Enough prattle. I don't have time for your long windedness. Get back to your sleep and your pathetic game.
Life and death are all that interest me now. Good evening.
I sent hunting parties down each of the four paths. We will find them.
A knight who works for the Boogeyman. He is the type who gives directions as opposed to doing it himself.
Voice type: medium
Find them. Fetch me when your men return. We dare not repeat our failure at Brooklyn Creek
The nutcracker... they killed him. The old fool.
Do not finish that thought, boy, unless you wish to join those poor fools on the battlefield.
Appears in one scene. Pretends to be tough, but breaks down crying upon confrontation.
Voice type: any
Bad enough I can't see the big monster hang, I don't wanna hear the lot'a'ya havin' a blast in the pen.
Don't think I'm a big enough sod to come too close to ya, clown.
Let me go! Please don't... the mayor! He'll kill me!
A boy from Brooklyn who gets taken away by the Boogeyman. Although only seen in flashbacks in the first few chapters, he is a strong and clever boy.
Voice type: any but with a Brooklyn accent if possible.
How about you watch me break it?
Shh! Quiet, scout. Go t'sleep. You'll wake Johny and mom.
I told you I didn't want you to play with him. You have your own toys.
The little brother of the Boy. He only appears in flashback
Voice type: any but with a Brooklyn accent if possible.
What do you think you're gonna use?
For digging in her garden? I should have helped.
But colonel and I were playing. We were fighting the - huh?
All voice types and ages. The more you can do, the better.
He cheated! No fair!
It's madness to believe you can actually bring the boy back.
* anything you think fits*
