The story of Future Girl is one of the more interesting campaigns I’ve come across on Patreon. The origin of the Future Girl Comic Book all started with a single photograph. The single photo was taken by photographer Stephen Laico at the Women’s March in Washington, DC, on January 21, 2017. For those of you who haven’t seen the photo it is of a girl holding a sign that reads, “The Future Is Watching.” She is a super hero for taking a stand in something she believes in. Ross Dannenberg, written by Jenn Arledge, our principal artist is Miranda Davila, coloring by Tanya Bobrowski, and lettering by Nikki Sherman took this theme and ran with it. The girl holding the sign, someone society could look up to was reimagined into superhero. Future Girl needs your support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FutureGirl

You’ve probably heard it before. The world needs more role models and for the most part I think there are plenty of positive role models to choose from. Things change when you ask how many role models are there for children, especially girls? The answer is probably not many. There are even fewer positive role models for girls in the arena of comic books. That’s why supporting this Patreon campaign is so important, especially if you agree with what I just said.

The Plot

After a fateful encounter one distant Halloween night, Future Girl discovers there’s more to being a hero than a flashy costume or billowy cape. Aided by her faithful sidekick – the ever anxious Steadfast – and guided by The Horologist – an ancient and mysterious clock maker – Future Girl stops evil in its tracks no matter where or when it may strike. She is a warrior for truth, a beacon for justice, and defender of the human spirit.

The Goal

The goal of the Future Girl Comic Book campaign is just $10 per post, right now it’s just 18% complete. Once the $10 per post goal is met the team will publish pages 2-5 of Issue 1 (page 1 is free for all to read). $2 or more per post gets you all previous benefits plus the print version of Future Girl (After 5-7 total payments).
