La Rosa Blanca is a myth. A mysterious hero of the people raising up in the old west to protect the innocent from the terrors of the night. Monsters, demons, the undead...even dragons. Whatever creature would prey upon the weak, she is there to dispatch.Â
This is the story of a new La Rosa Blanca. A girl who because of terrifying circumstances dons the mantle and becomes the next generation of heroes to wear the cape and wield the pistol. In the tradition of great heroic heroes of the old west comes a heroine like no other. And you are here for the birth of this new legend!
We jam packed this issue with awesome action and adventure! The 28 pages of comic book action includes a four issue prequel written by fan favorite Pat Shand and illustrated by Gerardo Gambone! And the main story is also penned by Shand and illustrated by legendary comics artist Gordon Purcell (Star Trek / Stargate)! Â
Enjoy two original tales of old west horror and witness the first story of a new hero!
One of the best things about this new project is the list of creators who are contributing to it. The roster is loaded with big names and fan favorites.

GERARDO GAMBONE - With beautiful line work and incredibly kinentic pencilling - Gerardo Gambone has left his mark on many of American Mythology's titles. He's drawn stories for Zorro, Hatchet, Beware the Witch's Shadow, and most recently - Dracula After Man! These books are some of the cleanest and sharpest we've ever published. Gerardo is a rising star and we're proud to be working with him!
LERIX - Everyone loves Lerix! Her art is everywhere and everybody loves it! Marvel, DC, Indies - you name it, Lerix kills whatever character you ask for. And this amazing cover of La Rosa Blanca is no exception!Â

MARK SPARACIO - Well known for his painting prowess, Mark Sparacio delivers old school Vargas-like vibes in his beautiful work. He delivers an alternate look at one of the iterations of La Rosa Blanca to rise in the old west!
BUZ HASSON - The creature features at the Corpse Crew behind books like The Living Corpse, always comes through with a unique look at every character he works on. Here he builds on the alternate La Rosa delivering a racy alternative for fans of the female form.
Can we UNLOCK The La Rosa Blanca Dia Day Los Muertos Cover?
One of our stretch goals is pretty damn cool! If we reach the level we'll unlock the Dia Day Los Muertos Virgin art cover by Buz Hasson! All print pledge backers will receive a FREE copy of it along with your order! But we have to reach that level to do it. Help us get there!
Each print copy also comes with a free digital downloadable pdf for reading on your favorite devices! You'll get the digital edition before we go to press and will be the only people reading the story ahead of time. We know you'll love this tale and can't wait to share it with you.
💥 Welcome to Comictopia — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of writers and artists collectively running comic book crowdfunding projects from July 18th -August 8th.
🔥 Limited Cross-Collaboration Freebies — All 30+ Comictopia creators have paired up with a fellow participant to create two unique and limited freebies together. If BOTH projects reach their initial funding goal, backers who support BOTH will get the TWO [2] cross-collab freebies listed on their campaign page, one will ship from each creator. The more pairs of Comictopia creators you support, the more limited freebies you will earn ✨
Our targeted shipping is in October for the beginning of customer shipping. With recently disrupted supplied chains once again being an issue, we can't predict what problems may occur in getting the inventory delivered. But we will do everything we can to keep the cards on track and in your hands as soon as possible!
Tired of crowd funded projects that never seem to ship? Well, La Rosa Blanca is DRAWN! That's right - all the art exists already. We just need to have it lettered and if we reach our stretch goal colored and it will be ready to print! Â
Support our Partner Publisher - Dynamite Entertainment
ComicTopia gives us the chance to partner with other creative people and to introduce our fans to other proects. We are partnered with Dynamite Entertainment and they are launching the erotic original graphic novel - Karma Volume 2 for the event. This project introduces readers to the world of high stakes modeling and photography while giving us a look into the personal relationship of two people. The first volume was a big success on Kickstarter and this second one delivers the same incredible creative team and a whole new adventure. Check it out and support both projects to get the sweet special edition Tarot cards as a bonus!
You may ask where the money is going for this project and we are happy to tell you. The $5000 goal is going 100% to paying creators. Once BackerKit and the credit card companies take their 10% the remaining amount is being put toward paying for art. Â
If we reach our stretch goals - we will hire a colorist to color the book. And beyond that, we're hoping to collect some money to pay for the printing. Making comics is EXPENSIVE! But we do it for the love of the medium and to tell stories that make American Mythology. We're hoping that we can raise enough money to pay for all the costs associated with this book and deliver a very special story to everyone.
We are collectors too and we package all of our crowd funded books in Gemini Mailers. These are the GOLD standard for avoiding damages. We want to make sure you get everything to you looking beautiful and ready to be put into your collection!
