Indulge your senses with “Fan Girls” – a collectible portfolio of eight full-color pin-up prints featuring iconic women from across comics, gaming, and pop culture, and a bonus sticker showcasing the alluring good-girl art of Steve Musgrave.
Pop culture is full of characters that stick with us for years. We quote them, cosplay them, argue about them online, and revisit their stories again and again. Fan Girls is my way of celebrating some of those unforgettable characters through the thing I love most: drawing.
For fans of comics, cartoons, video games, and the larger-than-life characters who stole the show and never gave it back.

For the first time we are offering a Deluxe Hardcover Edition of one of our most popular comic book series, Zombie Zero!
This collected hardcover contains all seven issues of the post apocalyptic series with beautiful full color cover art and gritty black and white interiors. Follow this unique story with a twist on the zombie genre by writer Christopher Reda and artist Leandro Rizzo with letters by Travis Lanham!
Zombie Zero is currently optioned for Film Development over at Patriot Pictures with the producer Michael Mendelsohn.
The Mortuus Virus, a disease that reanimates the dead, put a hold on civilization. Zombified civilians littered the streets and spread the contagion like wildfire, crumbling the populace and nearly bringing society to a state of natural chaos. That was 15 years ago. Now, with Mortuus publicly eliminated and social order reestablished, the disease’s final carrier, Alexander Livingston, remains under the close supervision of microbiologist Dr. Victor Brooks. With his project kept secret as he searches for a cure, Victor tempts fate with the risk of another apocalyptic outbreak, and should the well preserved abomination escape, no one knows how long the undead can survive a fragile world.
Deluxe Hardcover Features:
Full Color Chapter Covers
Extended Artist Gallery with work from Artist Leandro Rizzo

Roll 4 Hero Handbook and Mini Comic
Create your own amazing OCs with the Roll 4 Hero handbook, and join the livestreams as we create a new mini comic with your help!
What is it?
The handbook is a set of tables and charts for rolling up random prompts to create new original characters (OCs). It is not a role playing system, it is a creativity exercise… and inspiration engine! It is a quick and easy way to get inspired to create something new. A fun way to push you out of your comfort zone as a creator.
How do you use it?
Grab a pencil, some paper, and a regular six sided dice from any board game and work you way through the list of tables to roll up your new characters alignment, origin, super powers, etc… Then follow the examples in the book to combine seemingly wild, unrelated powers into something AMAZING! These prompts aren’t complicated building blocks that will only go together ONE way…they aren’t hard and fast rules. They are inspirations, jumping off points… they are colors of paint, and you can use them to paint whatever your can imagine!
Who is it for?
- Artists- A fun, easy way to inspire new drawings.
- Writers- Create new OCs to populate your stories.
- Comic creators- An easy way to create new heroes, villains, henchmen, etc…

Dreams and Nightmares: the 2026 WIP Comics Anthology
A collection of comics on the duality of dreams and nightmares – with a twist! Collects comics from over 50 indie creators.
Dreams and Nightmares is the latest group project from WIP Comics, a UK-based collective of indie comic creators. Every year, the group comes together to produce an anthology based on a single concept; this year’s book is focussed on the duality of “Dreams and Nightmares” with each creator having a double-page spread to tackle the subject. This year, there’s a twist – literally!
A twist, eh?
Every year we like to try something a little different, whether it’s with the physical dimensions of the book or a fun take on the concept of an anthology (like “Lucky WIP” which was a random selection of mini comics packaged into an envelope – readers didn’t know which comics they’d be getting ahead of time). For “Dreams and Nightmares” we want to involve the reader in the storytelling, so each comic incorporates some sort of page turn where the reader will need to rotate the book in their hands. It’s opened up a whole range of fun layouts and techniques from our talented artists and writers!
Some of the creators are seasoned pros with plenty of other projects under their belts, while others are seeing their work in print for the very first time. Many of the regular WIP Comics crew are returning for this project, including Joe Stone (Stutter, Sport, Splat), Lara Callaghan (Reapers), Hanna Gwynn (Without Ceremony) and Nick Bryan (Death of a Necromancer, The Collected Letters of Courier Z, Worrywart).
The group has produced an annual anthology for the last eight years, setting the theme in January and then giving everyone who wants to participate around six months to produce a comic. We share our progress at monthly meet-ups over that time, bouncing ideas around and giving feedback to help make everyone’s comics as good as they possibly can be. The books have grown to become a familiar and much-loved sight in the UK small press scene, and have become a great way to discover the next generation of comic-making talent
“Dreams and Nightmares” is another ambitious project, and the cost of production and other fees associated with running the group means we need your help to make it happen.

Apocalyptic Horseplay Volume 2
The collected final volume of the hit webtoon by Boredman.
Here we are again, fellow meatsacks!
I am (still) Boredman, author of UndeadEd and Apocalyptic Horseplay, two webcomics currently available on Webtoon and set in the same monster-infested universe, and I seek to fulfill the prophecy foretelling the second coming of these stories into the physical plane as ancient paper-layered bricks known as… bôökes. Bookses? Booksies? Starts with a boo, I’m sure of it. Scares me every time.
Many of you have already joined the pagan chanting that allowed the first Volume of Apocalyptic Horseplay to cross the threshold of our reality, and now, with your help, the portal shall open once more, the second Volume shall join its brother, and the final reward shall be upon us all. OUR BOOKCASES WILL BE FED.
As to our new members, our wandering and hungering souls yearning for solace and entertainment, if you have yet to discover Ed and the Horsemen’s deliciously bleak, monstrous and not-so-little world, then you’ve come to the right place.
Do partake. You are most welcome.
But get the first volume also, otherwise you’re not going to understand anything.
“Evil is but a whisper in a good man’s ear.”
While the terrible Horsemen of the Apocalypse have sworn off their ancient ways, other ancient things are still intent on bringing about the End of the World, and it may now be up to Mot, Pesty, Marvin and Warrace to keep them from succeeding in destroying all things, including their own resolve, with the help of a former student journalist and a child who may be more dangerous than she realizes.
This second and final volume of Apocalyptic Horseplay will contain the second half of the series (Chapters 5-7), the series Epilogue, bonus content and Footnotes on the lore and characters.
The goal of the Kickstarter is to get the comic formatted for print and into your hands as quickly as possible! The more we raise the more stretch goals we can offer, which will be revealed as the campaign progresses. We hope everyone will be pleasantly surprised by each!
So, what am I getting for my pledge? All backers at the $24 tier will receive the Volume 2 softcover graphic novels. Books will be printed at 6?x8? – approximately 200 pages of content!

Packrat & Thunderbunny 1-3
Issue 3 of Packrat & Thunderbunny, an all-ages, humorous, action-packed, buddy superhero comic book.
Packrat & Thunderbunny is a humorous, all-ages, indie-created, action-packed, buddy superhero comic book. Think Superheroes meet Saturday morning Cartoons. Drawn in a bold, brightly-colored cartoony style, this comic is a kid-friendly fun and funny romp that pays tribute to the classic superhero comic book genre of heroes vs villains coupled with the slapstick comedy often found in cartoons.
Re-re-Introductions
This is our third campaign for Packrat and Thunderbunny, this time it’s for Issue 3 of a five-issue story arc. For those who missed the first and second issues, look below for a brief synopsis of what’s happened so far. Issues 1 and 2 will be available with this campaign in both digital and physical formats.
Packrat and Thunderbunny are two best friends that happen to be superheroes. Unfortunately, as we saw in Issue 1, one of them is unaware they are best friends.
Much like the main characters of the book, the co-creators of this comic, Derek Jason Bush and John Fletcher Pasquini, are also best friends and have been since they met in high school back in 1987! Yeah, we are that old! The characters were created when Derek was a freshman and John was a senior. It took 35+ years for these characters to come to life. If you want to read the entire backstory behind the making of these characters, check out the “Backstory” section of our first campaign here.
This Third issue picks up right where the second issue left off. Like Issue 2, this issue introduces yet another new character to the mix…Slingshot! He’s a speedster much like Thunderbunny, but also in many ways, he’s nothing like Thunderbunny.
Will he be a rival for Thunderbunny’s “Best Bud” friendship with Packrat? They may need to run a speedster race to find out. Will that even matter?
Plus, even more answers are provided in Issue 3 concerning Thunderbunny’s origins. Will we finally find out why Packrat doesn’t seem to know that Thunderbunny is his best friend? SPOILER: Quite possibly, yes.

Masque of the Red Death by Wendy Pini
A sweeping, 400-page graphic novel reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tale written and illustrated by Wendy Pini!
Welcome to our Wendy Pini’s Masque of the Red Death Kickstarter campaign from Flesk!
This 400-page 6.625 x 10.25? graphic novel is offered as a trade paperback, a hardcover, and a limited-edition signed deluxe edition. We also have a premium signed 13 x 19? print available. Every book pledge comes with a Kickstarter exclusive 6 x 8? signed print (one for each copy of the book). Please read further for the full details about each item.
A decadent far-future gothic nightmare!
Masque of the Red Death is a sweeping, 400-page graphic novel reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tale, conceived, written and illustrated by internationally renowned creator Wendy Pini. This definitive edition presents the full 366-page graphic novel, includes Poe’s original story The Mask of the Red Death, newly illustrated by Wendy Pini, and concludes with an afterword and curated sketchbook section.
Set in a decadent far-future world of scientific excess and looming catastrophe, the story follows brilliant geneticist Anton Prosper, whose pursuit of immortality leads to a discovery that spirals into a bio-technical plague threatening all life. When the enigmatic young prodigy Steffan Kabala enters his orbit, their bond ignites a transformative passion that reshapes both their destinies—and the fate of the world.
Developed over two decades in Wendy Pini’s imagination, this deeply personal opus draws on gothic horror traditions while blending influences from Japanese manga, anime, and Chinese donghua to create haunting, hallucinatory visions of beauty and terror. As re-envisioned here, Poe’s fatalism gives way to a radical reframing: even in the shadow of death, love endures as the ultimate force.
A tragic love story, techno-thriller, and gothic fantasy in equal measure, this long-awaited work stands as Wendy Pini’s personal, ambitious reinterpretation of Poe’s legacy, and a striking meditation on mortality, desire, and hope.
