Stone Harbor Comics is launching with two entertaining series, BIOPUNKS and LEGEND OF ALTHEA, with many more in development! We’re currently completing the first volume of both series and are aiming for an early 2022 release. Your support will not only help us finish and distribute each volume, but also allow us to achieve our goal of expanded accessibility, as we intend to provide a digital in-picture sign language interpretation, along with translating each volume into Spanish.
LEGEND OF ALTHEA
Legend of Althea is a sci-fi/coming of age story about a teenage girl named Althea who receives the ability to heal people following an artificial heart transplant. After her dad succumbs to an unknown terminal illness, Althea must learn to harness her new powers to save her dad before his time runs out. But when The Wolf Pack, a notorious street gang, learns of her abilities, they seek to use Althea for their own selfish agenda. As if trying to finish high school wasn’t hard enough!

BIOPUNKS
BioPunks is a sci-fi/action story about three physically altered subjects who gain special powers from an experimental procedure meant to cure them. Now they must band together to fight off a relentless force who seeks to harness the source of their power, The Spinal Core.

Stone Harbor Comics Universe:
Legend of Althea and BioPunks occur in the same near-future/alternate reality where technology has advanced to the point where artificial heart transplants are standard practice, and a new age of neurotechnology is transpiring. In short, companies race to discover new ways to improve people's lives that will, in turn, make them lots of money.
Socially it's the TikTok generation now grown up. Influencers are the new celebrities, making everything commodified. Late-stage capitalism is in full effect, and the wealth gap increases every quarter. Lower socioeconomic neighborhoods find themselves displaced to make room for more and more business. Overall, racial and economic tensions are rising due to this.
A shift is happening in the entertainment industry. People from all walks of life demand representation in the content they consume. It's a battle cry that we can no longer ignore. The arrival of Black Panther and Shang-Chi is proof of this. However, there is still much work to be done, especially in the science fiction space. These exuberant stories of amazement and wonder have historically targeted a particular group, thus excluding people of color. The purpose of Stone Harbor Comics is to place a more diverse group of characters in the captains' chair of their own spectacular folklores for the next generation to enjoy.
Funding received from this campaign will go into printing and distributing of each volume and paying for sign language interpreter. Additional funding from our stretch goal will go into paying for the Spanish translation of each volume.
Upon a successful campaign, we plan to finish up both series' issue #5's and then start shipping the comics out in Q1 2022. If we achieve our stretch goal, this will include the Spanish translation as well.
A few short answers to how this works.
