Wahcommo: Magnetic Press Announces Kickstarter for Graphic Novel

Publisher Magnetic Press issued a statement yesterday announcing it is launching a new Kickstarter for WAHCOMMO, a sprawling dark fantasy graphic novel by acclaimed artist Luis NCT.  This classic high-fantasy tale is filled with monsters, trials, mythical cities, and faced-paced adventure mixed with a coming-of-age identity drama to life in gorgeous, archival-quality hardcover.

Luis is best known for his work as a colorist on Vertigo's FROSTBITE and Image's EMPTY ZONE, with author Jason Shawn Alexander. He is currently working with Jason on Image's KILLADELPHIA.

Magnetic press commissioned award-winning artist Karl Kerschl (ISOLA) for the Kickstarter campaign-exclusive variant cover.

"We're always looking to bring the hottest titles and talent 'discoveries' to the English-language stage, and we were immediately hooked by Luis NCT's work the minute we first saw WAHCOMMO in Angouleme. It is a perfect fit with Kaa's slate of visually dynamic, conceptual aesthetic, absolutely deserving of a premium hardcover presentation. And being able to work with Karl Kerschl, co-creators of one of our favorite North American comics ISOLA, on the campaign-exclusive variant makes this project even sweeter," says publisher Mike Kennedy.

Magnetic Press's goal for this campaign is to cover the costs of the campaign exclusives being offered: the variant cover, signature plates, and any other stretch goal add-ons to be unlocked. The campaign will also be offering a super-deluxe, leather-bound edition limited to only 200 copies. This will be Magnetic's third campaign following their success with PARIS 2119 and ASTER OF PAN.
