But the jobs need doing and the bills need paying, so Mel continues her work, which leads her to Richard’s haunted house one dark, gloomy night. The spirit of a dead woman, Joanna, is tied to the living room of his new home, and she’s only grown more powerful and restless since Richard moved in. Mel agrees to take the case, with the goal of helping Joanna find peace.





But exorcisms are never simple, and old debts must be paid…









Written by Jordan Alsaqa and illustrated by Marie Enger, Finding Peace is a 28-page horror comic filled with occult mysticism, vengeful spirits, narrative twists, and the introduction of a sharp-tongued, world-weary paranormal investigator. With a 14-page main story, a number of pin-ups from several talented guest artists, and plenty of behind-the-scenes material, Finding Peace offers a jam-packed horror short that's sure to give you a fright.





With the entire main story completed, the goal of this campaign is to secure funding for a high-quality print version of the book. As a backer, you’ll have your choice of a number of great rewards, including digital and physical copies of Finding Peace, fun buttons and stickers, exclusive art prints, and sketches or full commissions from Marie. Take a look below for more info and a preview of several early pages of Finding Peace!

THE CREATIVE TEAM

Writer Jordan Alsaqa is an N.C. State graduate with a degree in Creative Writing. A frequent contributor to numerous websites, including TV Equals and The Joy of Geek, Jordan also served as the Features Editor for Technician, focusing on entertainment writing. His first major comic project, Terminal Protocol, was successfully funded on Kickstarter in December 2015, and was published by Scout Comics in 2017. You can keep up with Jordan’s other projects on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.

Marie Enger was the colorist on Pistolwhip and 2 Sisters, IS the colorist on Regression, and letters Dept. H and Table Titans (Fallen Veil!). In her spare time, she draws a lot of punk shit for punk bands and self-publishes horror comics (We are in a Dark Place and Punx Win!). You might have seen her "ALL WEREWOLVES MUST GO" project for Inktober last year, which permanently left her cursed to draw werewolves for the rest of her career. She's got lots and lots of unannounced, still super secret, projects in the works. You can follow her work on Twitter or at her personal website.

THE CAMPAIGN

The biggest chunk of the funds – approximately $1400 – will be put towards the printing of the complete issue. Next, we’ve got $480 to handle shipping and additional minor printing costs. While all artwork has been completed for the main story, an additional $250 has been budgeted to compensate Marie for the completion of our two Kickstarter-exclusive art prints. Similarly, $750 has been budgeted to pay our various guest artists who've created a series of pin-ups to be featured in the back of the book. Finally, the last $320 will go towards paying the necessary 10% Kickstarter fees.
