Just found out about a new
Vampire Hunter D Kickstarter project today for a comic adapted from one of creator Hideyuki Kikuchi's short stories.
The comic is called "Message from Mars" and is based on the short story "Message from Cecile". I'm really looking forward to this comic which hopefully should release in May 2022 (All the art and lettering is complete so hopefully it won't get delayed).
Internal art looks amazing and the story synopsis seems to confirm it's set during a very interesting era of the VHD story timeline.
It's releasing as a hardcover and 6 single issues and they're all kickstarter exclusives that won't be available at retail.
Have backed it already!
It's shaping up to be a great year for Vampire Hunter D fans. In addition to this comic we're also getting reprints of the D novels in omnibus format (3 books a volume) and the "Graphic Audio" audiobook releases with full voice cast and sound effects/soundtrack on CD and download.
Vampire Hunter D: Message from Mars graphic novel is the full 5 issue series of the adaptation of the Message from Cecile short story.
