“Bridgerton meets the dancing plague in this surreal tale of sisterhood, repressed queerness and divine intervention.” That’s the hook for the new comic by 2020 Broken Frontier Six to Watch artist Kamila Krol, aka Pigeon. The Ecstasy of Jenny D is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Pigeon’s work has evolved into some of the most beautifully illustrated comics out there in recent years so this one is a must for checking out.
Here’s the story details from the Kickstarter campaign:
In the moment of desperation, sisters Paloma and Jenna Duval turn to prayer for some help from the Above.
But you know what they say: careful what you pray for because you might just become the God’s favourite and have an archangel turn your life upside down! (They do say that, right?)
The Ecstasy of Jenny D is a new original comic blending historical fiction (think Bridgerton-esque satire) with a surreal tale of sisterhood, repressed queerness and some otherworldly shenanigans.
If you enjoy stories that are heavily stylised (dare I say: over the top?), playful and silly, but also dive into some difficult emotions, this one is for you!
More reasons to back it? Well here’s some links to our previous coverage of her stunning comics from the years.
