Goal: $1,116
End date: April 2, 2021
Goodies: The digital version is $7, physical is $14, and higher tiers include back issues and additional comics.

A metaphorical and atmospheric, 24-page full colour comic journey.

Where No One Grows is a story of forming new friendship and finding a new home. We follow Marlo, a young woman who carries a chair with her wherever she goes, and Flame Monkey, a passionate and impulsive new face. It’s the third volume in Gaeta’s eponymous series, although each story stands on its own and only connects to the others in small, subtle ways. This volume, like the others, is a 24-page, full color story. Check out what that looks like in a preview on the campaign page.
