Fresh from her first ever panel event at Caption Festival at the beginning of the month, 2026 Broken Frontier ‘Six to Watch’ artist Daisy Crouch has launched the Kickstarter campaign for the second issue of her horror/super-hero comic Very Hungry Women.
When I reviewed the first issue here at BF I said of Very Hungry Women: “Appealing art and vibrant colouring also make this a super-hero story to watch out for if you’re looking for something more than a little different to the output of the Big Two.” Daisy has, once again, smashed the funding target within days of launching which is a rare feat for comics crowdfunding these days.
She describes the premise of the book in the following terms:
Fifteen years after tragedy cut short her career as a sidekick and ended the era of government-endorsed superheroes, Antonia is a reporter looking in to a string of recent disappearances for an unusual client. When her investigation turns up a bloody connection to the city’s beloved new superhero Galahad, she has to decide if justice is worth joining the corpses that seem to keep piling up in the hero’s wake. It should be an easy choice. It really, really should be. Especially when Galahad starts noticing her back.
What follows is a violent, messy, and undeniably mutual obsession that drags both women in and puts their friends, family, sanity and morality on the line.
We don’t often cover super-hero comics here at BF so you know that when we do there must be something very special going on. Make sure to back the Kickstarter here!
