The longtime indie creator/ editor takes charge on Zoop!
Now live on Zoop is a new campaign to fund The Magic Necklace, the one-shot comic from veteran indie cartoonist, writer, artist, and editor, Claire Napier. The Magic Necklace is an ADULT ONLY (18+) horny, horror, romance story about sexual danger, desire, relying on men, and bargains we make with ourselves and others. If you’ve ever wanted a comic about why women let bad boys and bad men in, this is that one. What’s fair in love and war isn’t always black and white… but add some pink, and you’re more than halfway there.
The Magic Necklace’s main character is Ann-Rita, who has been acting differently since she bought Morgan Le Fay’s necklace. She’s not afraid of men any more. Not her brother, not the fuzz, and not the guy who’s standing right behind her. Whatever he does… it just can’t threaten her.
Napier had this to say about the book: “Being able to tell a story that fulfills me creatively, in a very absolute way, is a privilege. I hope that it’s experienced as a romance comic, as an intriguing story, and as a piece of critically responsive comics work! I’m incredibly glad to be launching this campaign on Zoop—having them to take care of the fulfillment is an immense weight off my mind.”
Zoop CEO, Jordan Plosky shares: “We are so excited to offer this book to our supporters and fans of Claire’s. It’s a unique, empowering story, told by a truly creative, inspiring and strong woman in Claire Napier. It’s incredibly intelligent and matched with such perfectly measured artwork that I think will be appreciated by a wide array of readers. It truly stands alone in the indie comics market.”
