A 112+ page, full-color comics anthology documenting Hurricane Helene through the voices of Appalachian survivors, co-written and illustrated by some of the most acclaimed names in comics.
When Hurricane Helene devastated Southern Appalachia in the fall of 2024, it left both our landscape and our communities forever changed. But in the aftermath, something remarkable emerged: stories of survival, solidarity, and strength.
Islands in the Sky brings those stories to life—pairing real survivors with award-winning comics creators like Brian Michael Bendis, Gene Luen Yang, Matt Fraction, Nate Powell, and more—to preserve what happened and help the region recover.
When you pledge, you’re doing more than funding a book. You’re helping us pay survivors to tell their own stories, getting this history into schools and libraries, and providing income and visibility for a region still rebuilding.
This project is part record, part resistance, and part recovery. Join us.
As of July 15th, this project has raised $25,000 of their $25,000 goal. This project has 2 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $15, you will get one PDF comic. For a pledge of $30, you will get one comic. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/appalachiacomics/appalachia-comics-project?
