SISTERHOOD - - Mummy-Inspired Art Finds An Outlet

Editors Note: One of the benefits of Kickstarter and other crowdfunding resources is that supporters of less popular projects can still find an audience for their works. So, things that major publishers would never get behind can still see the light of day. It’s all good!  Seriously, who would have guessed that there was a market for mummy-inspired art?  This project is a sure thing, already funded and growing. Be prepared to spend a little more if you want print copies since this project originates from the Netherlands. A benefit of the free internet — it brings global comics friends together.

Sisterhood Project: All Unwrapped And Art Wave Announcement

For Immediate Release ~ Nov 12, 2018 ~ The Netherlands

To creator Richard Boom (yes, that is his real name... it means 'tree' in his country and not a sfx), it is the culmination of his dream project, based on his collection of sketchbook entries in which he gathered up many mummy-inspired pieces of art.

 His "mummy" theme inspired artists into creating sexy or cute, gore or artsy pieces, the comic book itself will be a PG-book because Richard Boom "believes his comics should be read by his very own kids as well as other kids around the globe".

KICKSTARTER: for the launch of Sisterhood #1, Richard Boom is relying on Kickstarter to fund this project fully, mostly for coloring, lettering and printing.  Go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/boomvavavoom/sisterhood-about-unraveling-mysteries-mummies-and  to participate and learn more about the project.
With the help of Yonami Teles as cover artist for the regular cover (Bernini-inspired) and with Eric "EBAS" Basaldua providing this project with a variant cover, Boom sure feels very supported! And with artist Juan José Ryp providing the art to the Commorative Trading Card artwork, the party is just getting started.
Already a Cosplay Cover has been "stretchgoaled" and more freebie art by folks like Greg Capullo, Budd Root and Juan José Ryp have been added for the backers.

Next up is the ART WAVE with which Boom is trying to give back to the art community two-fold:
1] Blank Sketch Covers: these are expensive when you buy them so it seems, so Boom created a Package Deal.
2] High End Prints on Metal and Glass, Canvas and Wood: these cater for folks that will support comic art and recognition of it being 'real art'. With artwok available today from Adam Brown, Osorio, Budd Root, Eric Basaldua and Juan José Ryp the art-lovers will be able to fill their belly!

The synopsis to his book 'goes a little something like this':

For several centuries the ancient order of Justice has laid dormant, but the magical power of the Justice Gems have been released during an Egyptian archeological dig and now all over the world the mummified Priestesses of Justice come back to life. As supernatural evils threaten human society through the next decades, the Sisterhood will be there to guard and protect.

In 1917, a mysterious adventurer (Rand) enters a pyramid In British Colonial Egypt. There he opens the Cauldron of Khepri. The spirits of ancient priestesses are released, resurrecting mummies all over the world who were devoted to an embodiment of the goddess of Justice and truth. Five years later, the mummies form the Sisterhood of the Mummy, a spiritual order to help the truth and justice against the unordinary. They are cop, judge, juror and executioner defending the world. The order live in an underground base with technology beyond human knowledge. They are led by the adventurer, the Mother-Supreme and the remains of a high-priest whose soul is being used as software for a supercomputer.


As Richard Boom explains "this is a project, with talented folks I have known and worked with over the last couple of years, each an inspiration to me. They energize this project with each word, each line and each color palette. This is my chance to give back the love, by trying to get this published and let the world this new world."

INTENTION: SISTERHOOD is a series of oneshots 32/page stories in a 36 page comic format, with perhaps even more pages added, depending on the success of the project.

Currently FOUR issues have been completed, with 4 more already written!

Each comicbook will feature different artists, to ensure not only a high quality but also creating a platform for outstanding artists. This idea is highly influenced by Boom's very own Sketchbook Theme where over 200 artists each have shown him their own personal magic!
