Introducing.... Love Spell

by Dan Stout


Holy Heck, it's a comic book!!!

I’m massively excited to announce my latest project: LOVE SPELL a horror comic made with visionary artist Jonathan Luna.

Dark, hilarious, and creepy as hell, Love Spell is the story of five college students who perform a ritual to make their crushes reciprocate their feelings, ending in demonic disaster.

I love comics. I even worked with a crew of friends to self-pub a line of comics way back in the 90s.

This is an opportunity to collaborate with an extraordinary artist on a fun (and wild) storyline. Jonathan is a visionary creator, with a distinct style backed up by over twenty years in the comic book industry. (Check out his work on titles like Alex + Ada, Girls, and Marvel’s Spider-Woman.)

If you’d like to give us a push, there are two things you can do, and they only cost a few minutes of your time:

  1. Tell a friend!

    If you know someone who’d dig a book like this, let them know about it. Share on social media, and spread the word in general.

  2. Register for notifications.

    This one is so cool. Love Spell is in “pre-launch” right now. If you go to the page (at this link) you’ll see a banner, a bit of text, and a button that says, “Notify me on launch”


    Clicking notify will simply drop you a notification when the campaign goes live — this costs absolutely nothing, but it’s shockingly helpful!


    Because here’s the thing… Kickstarter uses that “Notify” button to determine which projects get featured on the front page. If we get enough clicks on that button, we’ll get a MAJOR boost in attention. (Because, of course, we all live and die by the algorithm these days.)

    Now, heads-up: you’ll need to have (or sign up for) a Kickstarter account to do this. Kickstarter accounts are free, and I think it’s a great way to connect with creators, but I wanted to let you know in advance!
