Back This! Special: UK’s Wild River Comics launch first Kickstarter

Welcome to the latest edition of our regular crowdfunding feature here on Nerdly – Back This! – where we take a look at some of the cool content taking the crowdfunding route on sites such as Indiegogo and Kickstarter. This time we’re taking a look at a new comic campaign from a brand new UK company, Wild River Comics… Daughters of Albion #1!

Having established themselves as a presence at UK comic cons over the last six months, Wild River Comics have launched their Kickstarter campaign for their first title, Daughters of Albion #1. Co-creators Denis Phan and Trevor Jayakody have been working tirelessly behind the scenes with artist Matt Timson, colourist Marco Lesko, letterer Jim Campbell, and editor Martin Eden to get this first issue ready for the launch.

Daughters of Albion #1 introduces readers to an alternate London where magic and technology co-exist. When cyberpunk hacker Hashani discovers a magical amulet dropped by two strange beings, she and her friends start to uncover the mysteries of Albion, which has been simmering beneath the surface all along.

Wild River’s Kickstarter campaign is on now, with some early-bird incentives for their initial backers, along with a number of rewards tiers to suit all tastes and budgets – readers can support Wild River at the most basic levels to receive a digital or print copy of Daughters of Albion #1, right through to special super-fan packages and the opportunity to be drawn into a future issue of the series! Check out and back the campaign right here.

Issue 1 also comes with a variety of cover options, from the standard cover by artist Matt Timson, through to variant covers by Junggeon Yoon, Piotr Kowalski and Pye Parr; some of which you can check out below:
