Lea Hernandez has a Kickstarter campaign in its 11th hour... Well, there's three days left. I guess it's like 10:15... ANYWAYS, she's got a long way to go and a short time to get there, okay? Lea is working on a fresh all-ages vampire family comic called
The Garlicks starring Pandora, a middle school aged vampire who wants to be a graphic novelist. The book has a great cast of characters and fun supernatural sit-com style, so I pledged $25 to get a signed copy of the book when it comes out, and I think you should too...

For those keeping score at home, Lea Hernandez is a top notch cartoonist. She's worked for both Marvel and DC, co-created
Killer Princesses with Gail Simone for Oni Press and flew solo on
Rumble Girls at Image. In an industry that just doesn't know what to do with talented females, Lea has done the right thing jumping on Kickstarter! With
The Garlicks Hernandez is set to launch a webcomic and graphic novel that can actually hit with girls. Anybody who loves comics should get excited at projects aimed at girls, because girls who read comics grown up to be women who read comics... and women can outbuy men any day of the week.
"Where do you get your ideas from?" is the #1 question comicbook creators get asked. This time it has a simple answer, as seen above. So in case you missed the point, I want YOU to click here to back The Garlicks... like, RIGHT NOW! Lea doesn't have a lotta time left on the campaign. Go put your pledge in to help her make her goal by 3pm on Thursday, June 21st to be a part of helping something SWEET get made.holla!-samax.
