Marvel/DC cover artist Jeehyung Lee has launched the Kickstarter campaign for the final chapters of his new horror comic GUMAA – The Beginning of Her.

GUMAA – which means “exorcism” in Korean – tells the story of a young Khalida’s escape from drugs and prostitution and her transformation into the high priestess of a cult warring against infected humans called MAAGI.

Lee, who has built an international following for his beautiful and dramatic cover art, drew inspiration from films like Constantine and The Dark Knight when creating this dark supernatural thriller. The final issues bring the conflict to an exciting conclusion as Khalida faces off against her young nemesis, a combat-trained warrior with a hidden connection to Khalida’s past.

The campaign features stunning covers from Jeehyung Lee, as well as limited first-print covers by Peach Momoko, Sozomaika, Ben Oliver, Puppeteer Lee, Ivan Tao, Leirix Lee, and Clayton Crain.

Fans, critics, and comic creators have praised the first three issues of GUMAA for its gothic visual style, beautiful artwork, and gritty crime noir storytelling.

The new campaign offers exclusive extras, including covers from Lee along with industry veterans Derrick Chew, Ben Oliver, and Sozomaika. Supporters will also have the chance to receive the first three issues right away to catch up on the exciting story.

“I chose the title ‘GUMAA’ because my story is partly inspired by those people who follow ‘something’ as if they’re in some sort of cult,” Lee explains.

“In some ways, I’m exploring how people form obsessions of all kinds. In one way or another, these obsessions tell the story of a deep desire to escape from whatever reality we’re in.”
