Kickstarter Exclusive Collected Hardcover: DAY OF THE DEAD GIRL

Magma Comix announces first-ever Exclusive Hardcover Edition Kickstarter featuring New York Times Bestselling author and executive producer AJ Mendez and SAG Award nominee Aimee Garcia’s forthcoming title!

Grab your sugar skulls and light the candles! Dropping just in time for Dia De Los Muertos, Magma Comix is thrilled to announce its first-ever Kickstarter campaign, Day of the Dead Girl: Exclusive Hardcover Edition, kicks off Oct. 8th!

This hardback book collects the first four issues of the Day of the Dead Girl comic book, written by New York Times bestselling author AJ Mendez (Crazy Is My Superpower) and acclaimed actress Aimee Garcia (Dexter), with gorgeous illustrations by Spanish artist Belén Culebras.

Fans won’t want to miss this exciting new campaign, which also includes a dust jacket variant with art by Coffin Comics artist Sorah Suhng, a Kickstarter Exclusive cover of #1 by artist Joel Gomez (La Muerta), a Black Edition Slipcase version, signed versions, a Bonus Comic with behind-the-scenes material, original art commissions, and much more!

Death is never the end of the story. Coroner Sam Castillo will learn this the hard way, when a supernatural serial killer targets her hometown just as she moves back. A skeptical woman of science, Sam butts heads with her spiritual mother Ana, a leader of a witch coven specializing in Brujeria. But when the coven’s Brujas start turning up murdered, Sam and Ana must work together to find the killer and save their town’s Day of the Dead festival from turning into an occult bloodbath. As if sharing a bathroom with her mom wasn’t hard enough.

“We can’t wait to share our magical murder mystery with readers!” said AJ Mendez. “Our Kickstarter exclusive edition will expand the story even further with amazing art and a fun peek into the creative process. So psyched to take you into our twisted minds.”

“We’re excited to team up with Kickstarter to offer a bonus comic with exclusive behind-the-scenes content, including original character sketches, Elia and Jean backstories and other fun goodies you can’t get in stores,” said Aimee Garcia. “My Mexican-Puerto Rican family embraced the supernatural. We had a reverence for death. We didn’t fear the afterlife. Instead, we celebrated the lives of our dead loved ones with candles, music, food and stories. Ghosts, angels and life-after-death were a Tuesday. So, bienvenidos (welcome) to the fiesta. Come laugh, cry and scream bloody-murder with your new bruja (witch) family. Because, as you’ll learn … Death is never the end of the story!”

Day of the Dead Girl: Exclusive Hardcover Edition includes mystery stretch goals and VIP discounts to be unlocked throughout the spooky season, and all to be buttoned up with a very special countdown with the creative team for just one more amazing backer giveaway!

The Kickstarter campaign ends Nov. 1st. Day of the Dead Girl #1 hits shelves Oct. 9th, only from Magma Comix.
