“Eat Fighter” kickstarter begun
A Kickstarter funding page has been started to publish a graphic novel of “Eat Figher”, a 2018 webtoon with a female competitive eater protagonist. $3000 must be raised by December 12 for the project to go forward. The volume is expected to have 250 pages and has the following synopsis:
Eat Fighter is a competitive eating, zombie murder epic that follows Missy, a thirty-something fitness nut who throws away her kale and step-counting ways to become a superstar on the competitive eating circuit. Following the lifestyle of her late brother, who was a champion competitive eater himself, she embarks on a quest to Seoul to become the World Champion Eat Fighter. But eating barrels of barbecue and acres of apple pie doesn’t come without a price—so what’s Missy’s secret as to why she can eat as much as she wants and never gain a pound?
