As I write up more and more of these Kickstarter campaigns, I find myself amazed at the way the public has embraced this as a viable way to fund projects. So many more artists and creators are able to self-publish their work. I can’t help out as much as I would like to, but I do my share as I’m sure many of you do. Therefore, it’s my pleasure to be able to occasionally show one off in the hopes that you will find it as interesting as I do. Howie Noel‘s Kickstarter campaign for his webcomic character, Tara Normal has all the makings of a fun and entertaining read with more than just a twist of originality.
Centered around Tara Normal, the graphic novel that Howie wants to create with this campaign is going to focus on Tara solving the mystery of her mother’s death. Already an paranormal investigator who has proven that ghosts exist, she will explore how this all affects her world and the people in it. And part of this quest will involve the rescue of a group called the Ghost Soldiers who find themselves trapped in the most haunted place in the world, St. Catherine of Siena (an abandoned mental hospital), and only Tara can save them! Luckily, Tara is a pretty strong willed young lady who is used to kicking paranormal butt.
