A Haunted Girl: The Exclusive Extended Edition, with all new behind-the-scenes features, is here!
It's the ultimate collector's item for fans of the acclaimed Image/Syzygy YA supernatural horror story that explores the real-life terror that comes with the struggles of anxiety and depression.
Cleo, a 16-year-old adopted Japanese-American whose anxiety and depression drives her to suicidal thoughts, is fresh out of the hospital and trying unsuccessfully to reintegrate back into her old life. What she doesn't know is that her real struggles are just beginning as she finds herself encountering an increasingly terrifying succession of ghosts. Is she losing her grip on reality...or is the explanation much, much worse.
The story is inspired by the real life mental health battle of co-writer Naomi Sacks, who teamed with her father, comic book veteran Ethan Sacks (Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, Old Man Hawkeye), and artist extraordinaire Marco Lorenzana (Hulk), in an attempt to reach readers going through similar struggles.
A Haunted Girl was profiled by CBS News, People Magazine, the Lancet medical journal, and NPR and includes resource help guides from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the American Psychiatric Assotion.
But the new Exclusive Extended Edition, only available through Zoop, has so many more additional features:
* A stunning hardcover format featuring art by comics legend Joe Quesada
* A reprint of the People Magazine profile on the real life story behind the comic:
* Artist Marco Lorenzana's how-to guide for drawing Cleo:
* A script excerpt, layouts, and pencils and ink for a behind-the-scenes look at how a comic book comes together
And best of all, 10% of the proceeds of the new edition will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to help fund their crucial lifesaving work.
Ethan Sacks is best known in comics as the writer of Marvel's Old Man Hawkeye, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunters. He also wrote the acclaimed nonfiction comics, COVID Chronicles and Climate Crisis Chronicles for AWA Studios, as well as several stories for DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics. Before comics, he was a 20-year veteran at the New York Daily News, covering film and geek culture. He also contributes to NBC News.
Naomi Sacks may just be 21 years old, but she already has notched professional clips from the New York Daily News, TODAY, and AM New York, interviewing the likes of Steven Spielberg, Ava Duvernay and Lin-Manuel Miranda. She is currently a college student majoring in Linguistics and Environmental Studies.
Marco Lorenzana, a Mexico-based illustrator and designer, kicked off his professional career in the pages of Heavy Metal and with Aspen Comics' Overtaken. He has also collaborated on Zenescope and drew for Marvel's Hulk, Secret Empire: Brave New World and Ultimates2. He previously teamed up with writer Ethan Sacks on a creator owned comic, Intrusion, a horror one-shot for Magma Comix and Heavy Metal.
At an amount TBD, the portion of the proceeds to be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will be increased from 10% of proceeds to 15%!
The book is complete and should be ready to go to the printer within 1 month after the campaign is over. Printing and shipping should take another 3 months after that, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done around November 2025.
Zoop will always be here to communicate with supporters should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.
Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.
Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS
Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.
You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.
Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.
Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.
If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.
Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.
Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.
No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it! And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
