What is The Swindlers of Doom?
Silly Rabbit...The Swindlers of Doom follows the adventures of "Captain" Bob McCain, an intergalactic con man, who
travels the galaxy with his motley crew: Jana Korel, a young, aquatic-looking alien who pilots the ship and longs for
adventure; Mal Fecks, the ship's engineer, who is only out for himself; TK-421, an outdated wardroid who serves as
security and muscle when needed; and the ship's computer, with a nagging, nosy, motherly personality which annoys
the rest of the crew.
These vagabonds scrape to make ends meet any way possible including McCain's endless array of cons and scams.
They find easy marks in the people of the planet Girellia and with the help of a near-by asteroid, the crew convinces
the Girellians that their planet is in danger.
After moving the asteroid into a collision course with the planet, McCain offers to "save" the Girellians for a small
fee...namely, all of the gold his ship can carry. Some of the Girellians, including the leader's beautiful daughter and a
local scientist, are skeptical of the new arrivals. But, with no other choice, they agree to McCain's terms.
Unfortunately, the second part of the scam (moving the asteroid back to a safer path) goes wrong and the crew is
confronted with the unthinkable...they may actually cause the destruction of the Girellians!!! McCain and his crew must
decide whether to take the money and run or take responsibility for their actions, becoming the heroes the Girellians
need them to be in the process...
The illustrated screenplay features the full, feature-length script for Midnight's proposed Swindlers film written by Jim
Yelton, based on his original radio drama produced for KOPN-FM in Columbia, MO, as well as dozens of pages
showcasing pre-production sketches, storyboards, and designs by artists Eric Borchert and Steve Newton and an
all-new introduction by Yelton detailing the long, strange journey of Midnight's first ever project...BUY IT NOW AT THE
MIDNIGHT MARKETPLACE!!!

| Extra Ordinary: Beginnings Starts Here!!! The All-New Extra Ordinary Section previews the upcoming Illustrated Novel... |
| Midnight Fact-O-Rama Having been in development off and on since the late '80's, the various heroes of Extra Ordinary have undergone many changes. However, Mindwarp is the one hero to remain mostly unchanged from the original concept... |
The buzz has been building since
the spring of 2007 when the first
preview posters and other images first
started appearing online and at
various conventions. Now, the wait is
soon to be over and Midnight Online
has a first look at the opening scenes
of "Extra Ordinary: Beginnings", the
upcoming illustrated novel written by
Jim Yelton and featuring the detailed
artwork of Steve Newton.
Not all heroes live in the big city
and "Beginnings" is the literal starting
point for the continuing adventures of
the working-class, "Joe Average"
heroes who protect St. Louis, MO.
But, as the heroes will soon
discover, you don't have to live in New
York or some other big Metropolis to
encounter danger and deadly villains
around every corner...
