Pretty Little Dead Girls: A Graphic Novel of Murder and Whimsy Volume 1 Kickstarter

Hello everyone! Among the unbelievable projects I'm working on (and coming out) this year is Pretty Little Dead Girls: A Graphic Novel of Murder and Whimsy written by my friend, Mercedes Yardley.

We decided to use Kickstarter to fund the project in order to have full control and work on it at our own pace. If anyone out there would be so kind as to help pledge some money towards our project (please feel free to think of it as a pre-order, not necessarily a donation), please copy and past this Kickstarter link:

“Zangara mirrors the text with fittingly moody black-and-white panels that depict dark and intricate city skylines, expressive character close-ups, shadowy spreads, and slanted, rain-filled backgrounds…“ 

(https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/jane-yolen/stone-cold-yolen/)

“Zangara’s black and white drawings fit the brooding and menacing mood of this story, and the detail and nuance within his artwork encourage multiple readings to notice its subtleties…”

(http://www.publishersweekly.com/9781512411553)

“Zangara’s black-and-white art with sometimes scratchy lines provides a gloomy atmosphere in keeping with the somber story, while his architectural details evoke a strong sense of place.”

(http://www.booklistonline.com/Stone-Cold-Jane-Yolen/pid=8404375)

“This atmospheric story unfolds with suspense and beautifully detailed artwork by Orion Zangara.”

“I can't tell you how vividly evocative the illustrations are or how much I enjoyed the story… Jane and Adam's writing, of course, go a long way towards making the experience of reading the text in the book's detailed panels of sequential art an utter delight…”

Michael Bishop, author of PHILIP K. DICK IS DEAD, ALAS and JOEL-BROCK THE BRAVE AND THE VALOROUS SMALLS
