FOX FIRES is a fantasy-adventure comic that’s heavily inspired by Finnish folklore. “Fox Fires” refers to Northern Lights; it’s basically a literal translation from the Finnish word “revontulet.” (Revontulet = Repo’s fires. Repo is a nickname for a fox in the Finnish language.)
The Fox Fires are a gate between this world and the land of the dead – it allows souls to visit their loved ones. But suddenly, the Fox Fires disappear. Our main character, a young raccoon dog named Raate, heads north to find what’s happened to Repo, the fire fox whose burning fur is said to make the Fox Fires appear in the sky. On her journey, Raate meets all kinds of weird creatures, and also new friends.
The story is told from an animal’s perspective, taking us deep into nature. The comic addresses the relationship between humans and nature, friendships, family, self-growth, and, of course, teaching readers about Finnish folklore. So, if you’re into folklore, cute animals, and heartwarming adventures, we think you might like this story!
Book Three Synopsis:
Raate and her new traveling companion, Hiili, are on a lookout for a cover from rain. They stumble upon this mysterious looking building in the middle of the forest. Even though Raate is very hesitant to enter, Hiili is very determited to get out of the rain, no matter the cost. But what is this building? And why is it here in the middle of the woods? Does someone – or something – live there?
Book Four Synopsis:
After learning about Hiili’s past, the past comes to get him. It’s now up to Raate to save her friend from a mountain that’s said to be haunted. To get there she may need some help from a certain old lynx who she’s still not sure can be trusted. There’s another thought that’s troubling her mind: how can a small, normal raccoon dog save anyone.
The goal of the Kickstarter is to get the comic formatted for print and into your hands as quickly as possible! The more we raise the more stretch goals we can offer, which will be revealed as the campaign progresses. We think everyone will be pleasantly surprised by each!
