Witchcraft is an illusion. The first spell you cast is on yourself.
Available now on Kickstarter,The Family Graves: Spell of the Space Witches #1 expands the spooky sci-fi monster adventure series with a new arc, new enemies, and an amazing new cover by comics legend Phil Hester.
From co-creators Timothy Bach and Brian Atkins, The Family Graves is a cross between The Munsters and The Fantastic Four and stars a mixed-up family of monsters—a werewolf dad, a medusa mom, a teen siren, a fish-boy, and an adorable baby zombie—who are the only ones with the mad science capable of saving the world from terrifying supernatural threats.
The Kickstarter for Spell of the Space Witches #1 launches a brand-new chapter of the comic book series, blending monsters and science fiction along with teen and family drama into a spellbinding adventure that explores destiny, power, and agency—all with the series trademarked mix of horror, humor, heroics, and heart.
The story: Witchcraft is slow, complicated work in real life. But the quantum realm has no limits. Enter Tessadora, a girlboss witch with dark ambition and no time for the old ways.
Scheming to weaponize Phil’s new quantum communications satellite and make spells available on demand, she attacks The Family Graves from within and without, forcing young Nori to navigate her growing siren powers, mean girls, family ties, and the stygian allure of witchcraft.
As fate puts her on a collision course with her mother’s secret past, the family’s safety, and the freedom of the world, will Nori fall under the Spell of the Space Witches and succumb to a destiny of darkness?
In the first issue of this exciting new series our adventurous monster family launches into space to test Phil’s bleeding-edge quantum communications satellite. But when Nori’s new friends turn out to be a trio of total witches—Nori learns there’s a steep price to pay for witchcraft: her family.
Mad science!—rockets—sabotage—magical spells—high school—and monsters!—all in this bewitching return of The Family Graves!
