After
Lea Hernandez's well-received early summer Kickstarter for her new
graphic novel, a supernatural comedy entitled THE GARLICKS, ended
without full funding, Lea promised she'd return with a new campaign, and
she has. THE GARLICKS is now live on indiegogo.com:
With
help from Astro City writer Kurt Busiek (who appears as the host of THE
GARLICKS Indiegogo pitch video), Lea re-tooled THE GARLICKS from one
large volume to a series of four shorter ones and the campaign goal from
$40,000. to $19,000. (a little over what her Kickstarter campaign
raised). The Indiegogo campaign started on September 21st and runs
through Friday, October 26th.
ABOUT THE GARLICKS
THE
GARLICKS is a story written and drawn from the point of view of teenage
vampire Pandora Garlick. Pandora comes from a prodigiously talented
family, but has no apparent powers of her own. She decides to console
herself by making a mostly-true comic using her parents and maddening
shapeshifting baby sister as story fodder, but ends up drawing the
attention of dumb but dangerous demon-hunting angels. THE GARLICKS Book
One will be the first of four 60-page full-color graphic novels, and
will have an introduction by Scary Godmother creator Jill Thompson.
THE GARLICKS will be serialized three days a week at http://thegarlicks.net starting on Friday September 28th, 2012.
