From theatre to games, design to film, music to books, there’s a Kickstarter project to get everyone inspired and, for us comic fans, it’s swiftly becoming one of the most exciting places to see and support new talent.

If you like more than a little creepiness in your comics, Pumpkinface – Origins, promises a deeply complex, fright-filled read.

Written by Graeme Buchan, author of Creepy Scarlett, Pumpkinface was originally created as a character for a short horror film, before becoming a staple baddie in the Creepy Scarlett series. Introduced in Creepy Scarlett vs. Pumpkinface, the character is a vicious serial killer, who works as an assassin for Vincent, Scarlett’s nemesis and the head of The Order of the Red Sun. Tasked with capturing Scarlett, who resides in a graveyard and battles the evil doings of the Order with her faithful teddy-bear, Mr. Ted, the story follows his attempts to trap our heroine, who repeatedly evades his clutches.
