Iron Circus Comics de Spike Trotman, la pionera editorial de cómics que ha recaudado casi 3 millones de dólares en más de 30 campañas de crowdfunding, está financiando a WINE GHOST GOES TO HELL, la irreverente, atrevida y sexy novela gráfica debut del dibujante Sage Coffey.
Mejor conocido por su trabajo en The New Yorker, The Nib, The Washington Post y en el videojuego nominado a GLAAD 2021 BUGSNAX, Sage Coffey es un dibujante trans no binario que vive en Chicago, IL. Su debut en novela gráfica a todo color es un juego sobrenatural, que presenta una porción de glamour y desastre, y la página de prelanzamiento ya está disponible en BackerKit.
SINOPSIS
Cuando Wine Ghost estaba viva, era un choque de trenes empapado en alcohol. Ahora que está muerta... Bueno, no ha cambiado mucho. Cuando un viejo amigo de su vida muere inesperadamente, Wine Ghost se enfrenta a mucha más responsabilidad de la que esperaba. Ella aprendió las cuerdas del infierno hace mucho tiempo, pero es su primer rodeo. Y, muchacho, hola, es salvaje.
“Imagínese si la revista Hollywood Insider fuera una persona”, dijo el dibujante Sage Coffey. “Ahora imagina que esa persona es un alcohólico muerto. ¡Ese es Vino Fantasma! Ella es drama. Ella es moda. Ella insiste en que el vino cuenta como una fruta. Y ella puede ser la única esperanza de tener una vida después de la muerte de su amiga recién muerta”.
“Una de las grandes alegrías de publicar historietas es presentar a los dibujantes a una audiencia más amplia”, dijo el editor de Iron Circus, Spike Trotman. “Si no ha leído los cómics de Sage Coffey, es hora de sentarse y prestar atención. Este es el mundo de Wine Ghosts, solo estamos viviendo en él”.
WINE GHOST GOES TO HELL contará con bordes de página teñidos de rosa, y la campaña BackerKit contará con recompensas y objetivos ambiciosos, incluidas figuras de vinilo de Wine Ghost que brillan en la oscuridad.
WINE GHOST GOES TO HELL es el trigésimo octavo proyecto de financiación colectiva de Iron Circus Comics y ahora se está financiando colectivamente en BackerKit.

When an old friend from her living days unexpectedly dies, Wine Ghost is faced with a lot more responsibility than she bargained for. She learned the ropes to hell a long time ago but it's his first rodeo. And, boy, howdy, it's a wild one.
“Imagine if the magazine Hollywood Insider was a person,” said cartoonist Sage Coffey. “Now imagine that person is a dead alcoholic. That's Wine Ghost! She is drama.She is fashion. She insists that wine counts as a fruit. And she may be her newly dead friend's only hope of having a life after death.”
“One of the great joys of publishing comics is introducing cartoonists to a wider audience,” said Iron Circus Publisher, Spike Trotman. “If you haven’t read Sage Coffey’s comics, it’s time to sit up and pay attention. This is Wine Ghosts’s world, we're just living in it.”
WINE GHOST GOES TO HELL will feature pink dyed page edges, and the BackerKit campaign will feature rewards and stretch goals, including glow-in-the-dark Wine Ghost vinyl figures.
Praise for Sage Coffey’s Work
“WINE GHOST GOES TO HELL is a blisteringly unique, psychedelic epic about running into your shitty ex in Hell, but it's also about friendship and self-confidence and an unstable real estate market. Sage's art is joyful in every line and a delicious multi-media collage that reminds me what comics can be.”
— Kendra Wells (Real Hero Shit)
“Bugsnax’s queer representation feels effortless, but I could tell that the creative team put plenty of care into their portrayal of queer and non-binary folks.”—Rock Paper Shotgun on Coffey's game Bugnax
“Coffey paces the comic beautifully.”—Women Write about Comics on Coffey's If It Were Socially Acceptable
“Coffey's mix of thin and thick line weights add to the sense of both exaggeration and nuance and goes well with the single-tone red that they use throughout.”—High-Low review of the original Wine Ghost mini
“Sage Coffey's illustrative hell is honestly heaven. I want to dive into the world of Wine Ghost and stay there forever. It's vibrant, spooky, yet cozy.. .like house hunting inside of a demon's mouth. Cheers to Wine Ghost!”—Bianca Xunise (Six Chix, Punk Rock Karaoke)
“WHY IS EVERYONE IN HELL SO HOT?! AND HOW CAN I GET THERE??” —cartoonist KC Green
“WINE GHOST GOES TO HELL is about the different stages of friendship, getting drunk and not knowing any better,” said Sage Coffey. “It’s very much inspired by my experiences and people I’ve known, although we’re all still alive. So far as I know, at least.”
