Story

 

When Underglow Comics launched in 2020, the first series was Vampocalypse #1. The premise was simple: What if the President of the United States decided to cull 7 billion people to reduce the world’s population and ensure that there were enough resources to go around? But when a tribe of vampire women discovered the sinister plan, they twisted events to their benefit.

 

Underglow Comics has published 22 comics in the last 18 months, including Vampocalypse #1-4, the Vampocalypse Ashcan, and a spin-off issue called Underglow POP! Vampocalypse #1, which is a huge 72 page issue, delving into the history of the series’ two main characters Rachel and Katie.

 

This new series, Vampocalypse Origins, digs further into the past of the story, and introduces a new character: Alex, who is essential to the vampires’ plan for world domination. This all-new 24-page issue is written and drawn by Gary Parkin, with colors by Chris Hall and Gary Parkin. With your help, we can get this fantastic new project into print, and into your hands!

Bio

Gary Parkin

I'm the writer and artist of Underglow Comics titles Jungle Captive, Vampocalypse and Model Behavior, I've always loved comics and drawing, so when I was furloughed from work in 2020, I used the time to put together my first full comic book, Vampocalypse #1. Since then I've been able to quit my job and I now make comics full-time, putting out a new issue every 5-6 weeks, plus loads of bonus material that I put together especially for my Patreon followers. I've also produced cover art for a number of other publishers, including Totally Rad Comics, BAD Press Comics and The NextArt Verlag.

 

Chris Hall

As well as being the regular colorist on Underglow Comics' Vampocalypse,  he also provides cover colors for issues of Jungle Captive and Model Behavior, and you'll be seeing a lot more of his work in Underglow comic books in the future! He has 16 years of experience as a colorist, for Marvel Comics, Upper Deck, Zenescope, Eibon Press, Alterna Comics, American Mythology, Bad Press Comics and more. He enjoys arguing with people on the internet.

 

Underglow Comics is absolutely committed to providing high quality stories and art. Writer/artist Gary Parkin pours his heart and soul into every project, and it shows in the finished products. Whether you’re here for the vampires, the art, or for that naughty cover, there’s something that everyone should be able to appreciate. Independent comic book publishing isn’t easy, and supporting your favorite creators is the best way to give encouragement to this amazing industry of talented individuals.

Timeline

The issue is fully drawn and the first 6 pages colored, and the rest of the pages are with the colorist now. I anticipate the finished colors and letters will be complete before the campaign ends on Zoop. Once the funds are in, your items will be printed and leave us within one month, arriving with you no later than 12 weeks from the end date of the campaign.

Frequently asked questions

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!
