Bride of Rocky Horror is a full-color, 95-page extravaganza by GLAAD Media and Eisner Award-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio (Girlmode), artist Noemi Vettori (X-Men Unlimited), colorist Josh Rodriguez (Credit tk), letterer Jeremiah Lambert (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise) , and Bram Stoker Award-winning cover artist Soo Lee (Carmilla).
“Rocky Horror is one of my favorite stories of all time,” said Magdalene Visaggio. “It was the safest queer art I had access to when I was young because my parents were both huge fans. So to get the chance to look beyond it and see how it could have played out once that fateful night ended was a dream come true. I tried to make something as personal and idiosyncratic as O'Brien's original, riffing off the themes that stood out to me the same way O'Brien was riffing on his childhood influences. I think me and Noemi have made something really unique."
The all-new chapter of the Rocky Horror saga will be published by Bit Bot Media, a new, cutting-edge multimedia company from Klayton (Celldweller/Scandroid), the multifaceted musician known for his contributions to major motion pictures, TV, and video games including Transformers, Malignant, and Killer Instinct, and Denver Post bestselling writer and film producer Joshua Viola (Soul Reaver, Deathstalker).
In Bride of Rocky Horror, Janet Weiss has embraced a life of decadence and debauchery. But when a mysterious invitation draws her back into the orbit of her ex-fiancé Brad Majors, a new mystery unfolds. Who is the enigmatic Bridget Von Frankenstein? What secrets is Brad hiding? And is it, once again, time for the Time Warp?
“As an artist, and even more so as a Rocky Horror Show fan, it meant a lot to me to pay tribute to our beloved characters, striving to stay as true as possible to their original appearance and personalities,” explained artist Noemi Vettori. “I hope I succeeded in representing what Rocky Horror embodies: chaos, passion, and rebellion. Working on Bride of Rocky Horror wasn’t just about illustration, it was about channeling all the energy of an eccentric and mesmerizing musical onto paper!”
“As a long standing fan of the Rocky Horror Show, it is such an honor to be able to work on the covers for the resurrection of this wild world!” said cover artist Soo Lee.
In addition to the Bride of Rocky Horror collectible hardcover, the Kickstarter campaign will offer a wide range of exclusive collectibles and merchandise, including:
