Over the weekend, comic book writer Blake Northcott launched a crowdfunding campaign for Everglade Angels, a new 48-page graphic novel for mature audiences only. Written by Scott Lobdell and featuring artwork by Roc Upchurch, Everglade Angels is a “survival horror” tale surrounding a murder mystery in the Florida Everglades.

Here’s a summary of the Everglade Angels taken from the Kickstarter campaign page:

A wrong turn down a dead end road.

A car that won’t start.

An unspeakable evil emerges from the darkness.

No phones. No weapons. No escape.

Think you’ve seen this all before? 

THINK AGAIN.

When a girls softball team takes a shortcut through the Florida Everglades, they veer off the path towards a night they’ll never forget – drinking, dancing – one last hurrah before college starts and they go their separate ways. 

When they stumble into a trap set by a murderous cult, the stage is set for a night of blood-soaked carnage – but the cult has never dealt with victims who are ready to fight back. 

And while the girls might not have home field advantage, they have a game-changing surprise of their own.

Backers can get a signed copy of Everglade Angels for $25. For those with more money to spend, there are other bonuses to pick up, including extra copies of the book, a t-shirt, and original artwork. Not keen on using Kickstarter as a crowdfunding platform? Everglade Angels creator Blake Northcott has indicated that she may run a follow-up campaign on Indiegogo if the Kickstarter campaign is successful, which is what she did for her novel The North Valley Grimoire.
