JULY 19, 2024, (PORTLAND, OR) — This fall, dare to dream of the supernatural, celebrate Mexican and Latino heritage.
Magma Comix has teamed up with Scrappy Heart Productions’ dynamic writing duo, New York Times bestselling author and executive producer AJ Mendez (Crazy Is My Superpower) and SAG Award nominee Aimee Garcia (Dexter) for the comic book series for DAY OF THE DEAD GIRL, beautifully illustrated by Spanish artist Belén Culebras (DAY: Destiny After Youth, in 2021; Udumbara).
Death is never the end of the story. Coroner Sam Castillo will learn this the hard way, when a supernatural serial killer targets her hometown just as she moves back. A skeptical woman of science, Sam butts heads with her spiritual mother Ana, a leader of a witch coven specializing in Brujeria. But when the coven’s Brujas start turning up murdered, Sam and Ana must work together to find the killer and save their town’s Day of the Dead festival from turning into an occult bloodbath. As if sharing a bathroom with her mom wasn’t hard enough.
