The Thrilling Intergalactic Saga Packed With Dry Hilarity is Back… and it’s Bloodier Than Ever!
Buckle up for another bumpy, blood-soaked ride through space!
Now live on Kickstarter, the highly anticipated VAMPIRES ON MARS, issues #1-3, is created and written by George O’Connor (Healed, Baby, Silent Knight), with dynamic illustrations by Fernando Pinto (TMNT, Hack/Slash), colors by Ellie Wright (Red Sonja), and letters by Ringo-nominated Justin Birch.
Billionaire Gary Laurie’s dream of conquering Mars is slipping through his fingers—until Hanna Von Fleischer, a centuries-old vampire with a cosmic obsession, offers a daring solution: turn astronauts into vampires to endure the perils of space travel. With humanity’s limits redefined, chaos and bloodshed follow as the crew’s ultimate goal comes tantalizingly within reach.
In issue #3 the stakes have never been higher: alliances crumble, betrayals erupt, and the Milky Way runs red. As the dark truth of the mission is revealed, divisions among the crew deepen. Can Hanna keep the team together, or have they crossed a bridge from which there’s no return?
“Our crew has passed the f-around stage, and they’re about to find out,” said series creator and writer, George O’Connor. “The chaos and blood flow in this issue with Mars and the vampire astronauts’ ultimate goal are finally, tantalizingly within reach. Their humanity and dedication are about to be tested…and not everyone will pass. It’s gonna be fun.”
Artist Fernando Pinto added, “It’s chapter three. The table’s been set. The plot has thickened. Now the fangs come out. The blood starts to spurt. Friends become enemies. Enemies become even worse enemies. And even more blood will get splattered all over the Milky Way. Get on board. Don’t miss out on the coolest book you’ll probably read this year!”
Blending CHEW’s over-the-top humor and action with the claustrophobic hunt of Aliens—Vampires on Mars thrusts readers into an unforgettable adventure where ambition and vampiric chaos collide!
Issue #3 features stunning variant covers by Federico Sabbatini (Moon Knight) and Federica Mancin (Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider), with colors by Marta Gasperoni. Edited by James Emmett, the series continues to deliver on its promise of darkly comedic, blood-soaked thrills.
Every issue includes exclusive interviews with astronomer and science writer Phil Plait (The Bad Astronomer, Bill Nye Saves the World), offering insight into the science of Mars missions, the plausibility of vampires in space, and the human sacrifices tied to cosmic ambition.
Don’t miss your chance to back the series where sci-fi, horror, and dark comedy meet in the cold vacuum of space! The Kickstarter campaign for Vampires on Mars #1-3 ends Friday, March 8th, so pledge now to unlock exclusive rewards!
