ComicScene target reached – help with stretch goals

ComicScene the Spring Issue has reached our £3500 target on it’s final day with 8 hours to go. Thank you.



We are now entering into stretch goals to help fund a brand new comic strip – Ruby Tuesday by 2000AD writer Kek Wretchmond and Charlie Gillespie.  The kickstarter ends at 9pm on Tuesday 18th January 2024!  Pledge here



Kek says, “RUBY TUESDAY is an occult cop, a P.I. — a “Para-Eye” — who patrols the mean, neon-saturated, demon-haunted streets of Angel City. “Where dat?” I hear ya ask.



After the Fracture – a bizarre quantum-demonic event – Los Angeles becomes twinned with Hell and transformed into Angel City, a town divided up like Berlin after WW2, under the jurisdiction of both human and demonic agencies. Someone has to police this mess, right? Which is where P.I.s like Ruby come in. Ruby’s partner is Sal Zucca, a sleazy, potty-mouthed Mob lawyer who’s now a demon that lives in her left eye-socket. No, really.



The strip has a 70s Punk / Glamrock meets DemonNoir vibe. It’s violent, inventive and bloody good fun – all the things that comic books were meant to be! If you miss the crazed halcyon days of early 2000AD, Metal Hurlant / Heavy Metal, etc then you’ll love this! Sooo…



If you think you could get behind a deranged, demented comic strip like this, then head on over to the Comicscene Spring Kickstarter and pledge, pledge, PLEDGE! We have until 9pm this evening UK time to make this happen. Yes, there will be a digital edition for those of you who live outside the UK and are horrified – as I am – by the cost of UK postage. Let’s go!”
