With the Kickstarter officially launched, we’re excited to share some of the absolutely outrageous pieces of merch available as part of the campaign for the new original graphic novel, Bride of Rocky Horror! This officially licensed story will let fans experience the next chapter in the story of Janet Weiss and Brad Majors, seven years after the events of the film.
In Bride of Rocky Horror, Janet Weiss has embraced a life of decadence and debauchery. But when a mysterious invitation draws her back into the orbit of her ex-fiancé, Brad Majors, a new mystery unfolds. Who is the enigmatic Bridget Von Frankenstein? What secrets is Brad hiding? And is it, once again, time for the Time Warp?
As part of the campaign, there are special Rocky Horror Show-branded pasties AND Frank-N-Furter leggings!
You can check out images of these special pieces below:
Bride of Rocky Horror is a full-color, 95-page extravaganza by GLAAD Media and Eisner Award-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio (Girlmode), artist Noemi Vettori (X-Men Unlimited), colorist Josh Rodriguez (Credit tk), letterer Jeremiah Lambert (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise), and Bram Stoker Award-winning cover artist Soo Lee (Carmilla).
“Rocky Horror is one of my favorite stories of all time,” said Magdalene Visaggio in a previous statement. “It was the safest queer art I had access to when I was young because my parents were both huge fans. So to get the chance to look beyond it and see how it could have played out once that fateful night ended was a dream come true. I tried to make something as personal and idiosyncratic as O’Brien’s original, riffing off the themes that stood out to me the same way O’Brien was riffing on his childhood influences. I think me and Noemi have made something really unique.”
In addition to the merch above, the Kickstarter campaign will offer a wide range of exclusive collectibles and merchandise, including:
- Four interconnecting prints by superstars cover artist Soo Lee;
- Plush figures of Frank-N-Furter and Rocky;
- The Rocky Horror Show Video Game, designed and developed by Sam Beddoes of FreakZone Games
- The Rocky Horror Show Video Game Soundtrack, featuring chiptune renditions of the beloved classic songs, including the fan-favorite “Time Warp” on vinyl
- Limited-edition 8-bit themed figures of Frank-N-Furter
