– Tue, Jul 19, 2022 at 10:19:00 AM
Hey, TarMucks fam!
We're in the home stretch for TarMucks, and we're unveiling one of our secret weapons!
We've partnered with the creative team behind Pocus Hocus #1-4: a dark, humorous, and magical comic series to bring you a stunning, Kickstarter-exclusive art piece by Pocus Hocus artist Brian Balondo, featuring their main character, Pocus, fighting a TarMucks-wielding Cthulhu!
Check out "Pocus v. Cthulhu"!
Soooo coooool, right?! You want a copy for yourself?
How to get it:
This is an exclusive art print only for folks who have backed both campaigns!
All you need to do to reserve your limited-edition art print is:
That's it! Complete those three steps, and you'll get Brian Balondo's "Pocus v. Cthulhu" with your TarMucks rewards!
About Pocus Hocus:
Pocus Hocus is the hilarious and dark tale of a magician who sells his soul to a demon for actual magical powers. Years later, he wants his soul back. But, before that can happen, the demon demands Pocus’s help in a dark deed gone wrong. How can Pocus get out of this? Will he ever get his soul back? What are the real motives of the pink bunny that joins him on stage?
A magician never reveals his secrets…except in these four issues and the trade paperback, all available now on Kickstarter!
We're so psyched about this team-up, and we hope you are, too!
Can't wait to count down the next few days together.

Bi Visibility: Still Bi is 96-page GRAPHIC NOVEL that collects sixteen (16) brand-new stories all about bisexuality! Creator Kat Calamia writes: "Growing up, I had very little bisexual representation. I knew the label existed, but I didn't know what it looked like, how it felt, or that I could be bisexual. This was the driving force behind creating this anthology. Representation matters!"
