Vampires on Mars Brings A Genre-Mashing Story to Kickstarter

Vampires on Mars #1 is an exhilarating new series now live on Kickstarter! Co-created by renowned writer George O’Connor (Healed, Baby, Silent Knight for Homeless Comics) and brought to life by artist Fernando Pinto (Rise of the Kung-Fu Dragon Master), this intriguing blend of sci-fi, horror, and dark comedy poses a thought-provoking question: How much of one’s humanity—both literally and figuratively—are they willing to sacrifice to achieve their desires?

In Vampires on Mars, a desperate billionaire embarks on a last-ditch effort to realize his dream of orchestrating the first manned mission to Mars: he resolves to transform his astronauts into vampires.

Meanwhile, Hanna Von Fleischer, a vampire for over three centuries, yearns to fulfill her childhood aspiration of venturing among the stars. Despite her prolonged existence and comprehensive exploration of Earth, her fascination with the night sky remains unwavering. Having cracked the code for interplanetary travel decades ago, she awaits the technological advancements necessary to materialize her vision.

This project brings something special to readers as they are treated to exclusive interviews with esteemed astronomer and science writer Phil Plait, delving into the current landscape of Mars missions and the hypothetical implications of dispatching vampires into space.

Co-creator George O’Connor reflects on the essence of the series, musing on the profound sacrifice of humanity in the pursuit of ambitions. With Fernando Pinto at the helm, the interplay of horror and comedy offers a captivating experience, expertly complemented by the artistic prowess of Ellie Wright on colors and Justin Birch on letters.

Oozing with relevance and depth, Vampires on Mars #1 promises an enthralling adventure, teeming with vampire astronauts and the frontier of outer space.
