Her Highness #1: Fearsome Fightin' Froggy's

 Note: This is a script for a comic I've had lying around for quite some time, and I'm posting it to See what people think of it, I still want to do this as a series and have plenty of ideas just a matter of finding the time, energy, inspiration and so on, I hope you enjoy 


Pg1

Setting: Elizabeth's living space and home base, it looks like an old Warehouse that has been retooled into an open studio style living space with various gadgets about, a workout space and boxing ring, as well as her wardrobe hung up all over the place.


Action: we see Elizabeth hiding behind a table looking prepared as a group of back lit shadowy figures approach her.


Caption: so there I am, in between a rock and assured doom by the hands of my greatest enemy, who am I you may ask, well I'm a lot of things, I'm beautiful, talented, gifted, gorgeous, kind and most definitely the world's greatest detective, although some may argue that last point, looking at you dad, none can argue that I haven't stopped evil more times than I can count and all while looking impeccably good. But look at me go, talking about who I am before I've even introduced myself, well my name is Elizabeth, but you may refer to me as.

Action: we see now the flamboyant doctor in all his glory from the front at a partial angle as his ugly mug Lear's towards the reader as he does a pose as if he saying "come at me", his arms stretched out and chest puffed out, legs in a stepping position as he stands atop a platform being carried by his frogmen.

Panel5

Action: we see Elizabeth's hand holding one of the devices that was on the frogman and we get a better look at the strange electronic with it's red light and chrome finish.

Frodon: I am prince Frodon of the kingdom of Frellwater, home of the amphibinoid empire,


Panel2

Action: we see the amphibinoids living peacefully in there under sea society


Frodon: for a time we had lived in peace from the surface dwellers and their chaos and wars, 


Panel3

Action: we see the same scene as before but now chaos has erupted and the bluish green tint is replaced with a orange one as robotic looking armored men are attacking the civilians and descending on the city, and yes, their armor has nipples


Frodon: but recently our peace had come to an end, 


Panel4

Action: we see the kingdom literally in the shadowed out form of Dr bangle furter as he maniacally smiles and looks at the defenseless Kingdom as havoc continues being wrecked with explosions and small black figures flying or swimming around it, in the bottom left corner we see another disembodied head of frodon and in the bottom right is Elizabeths.


Frodon: our home invaded by an overwhelming Force and my people enslaved, completely under his control


Elizabeth: that sounds horrific…


Pg14


Panel1-3

Action: we see the prince head held down clearly depressed and saddened and one hand at a time he begins to cradle his head out of shame and sadness as his fellow frogmen come to comfort him.


Frodon: of course the Royal family including me my brothers and my fathers fought against the imposing tyranny but, sigh, we failed, we failed our people, we failed our home and I failed everyone.


Panel4

Action: we are now looking over Frodon's shoulder at Elizabeth as she's perked up on her chair.


Elizabeth: Wait, your Fathers?


Panel5

Action: we see frodon looking back at Elizabeth and now we're looking at him from over Elizabeth's shoulder as his hand is turned over and palm exposed as he explains.

Pg15

Elizabeth: So you can reproduce without females…, hmmm, well that answers why that homosexual horror enslaved you.

Elizabeth: I reckon by his standards your probably the closest thing to perfection that he didn't create


Frodon: homosexual horror? What is homosexual?

Elizabeth: no time to sit here and explain, we gotta get going and find my colonizing combatant and stop his putrid plans for pilfering and power.

Panel5-6

Elizabeth: but first.


Pg16


Panel1

Action: we see her saying this in a small close up panel in the upper left hand corner of the page.


Elizabeth: Do you gentlemen have any memories of when you were mind controlled and where my manicured menace is, also what kind of music do you enjoy?


Panel2

caption: later


Action: in the center big panel is a shot of her car, a tricked out Cadillac with all the fixings, like a flamboyant batmobile driving down a sunny 70s California street as the frog folk are in her passenger seats.


Frodon: and that's what I can remember.


Pg17


Panel1-4

Action: we see the chariot (Elizabeth's car) as Elizabeth is talking and driving all around the city streets doing incredible things like extending its Wheels to drive over cars without damaging them, bouncing over construction work and even speeding at almost impossible speeds.


Elizabeth: interesting, so he's set up in your royal palace, well from that I have a good idea where the melodramatic madman is, and potentially what he may be planning.


Pg18


Panel1

Action: the car quickly drifts and screeches to a halt as Elizabeth turns it to face a street heading into a dock at its end.


Panel2

Action: Elizabeth turns to her passengers as we are looking from the back of the car at her in front of her being the street that ends with a dock clearly visible.


Elizabeth: gentleman, make sure your buckled up and holding on tight, the trip is about to get really bumpy for a second or two.


Pg19


Panel1

Action: the car begins to reve in place as it burns out.


Panel2

Action: Prince Frodon clearly concerned with one finger raised and overall just posed in a reserved and definitively worried.


Frodon: mis highness, what are you doing.


Panel3

Action: we see Liz with both hands on the wheel and a clear bit of manic joy and energy behind her eyes as she's very clearly eyeing up the runway she has.


Elizabeth: adding a bit of flair darling, and you can call me liz.


Panel4-7

Action: quickly Elizabeth stops burning out having formed a huge pink smoke cloud around her car and quickly accelerates towards the docks out of a pink cloud and speedily then onto the docks without stopping.


Pg20


Panel1

Action: Full page spread of the chariot flying off the end of the dock, it soaring in the sky as frodon and co look shocked and Elizabeth seems relatively calm as they head for the water.


Elizabeth: YEEEE HAAAAAA.


Caption: have I lost my head, will our heroes survive a salty dip in the sea, will the devilish doctor archive his vicious victory, come back next time to find out in the next fab issue of HER HIGHNESS.



Note: Also just so I don't forget I did draw up some designs for the costumes of Liz and Furter which are right here although I would like to mention that I imagine Furter wearing a domino mask





At one point I was working with a friend to develop this idea further and eventually get it drawn, but do to life stuff we lost touch and at this point it would feel awkward to try and re connect as there was some drama with some people and im led to believe there was a rather large kerfuffle, and I rather not accidentally open up old wounds
