Voodoo Ink was conceived and created in 1991 as a graphic anthology of stories drawn and written by a small group of Puerto Rican artists. As its name suggests, Voodoo Ink offered a perverse variety of irreverent stories that delivered obscure themes in dynamic graphic formats in black and white.
With six issues published between 1992 and 1994, Voodoo Ink quickly became Puerto Rico’s first internationally distributed comic reaching bookstores in the U.S. Canada, UK and even Japan. In spite of its success, the series was interrupted after it hit a few economic and distribution snags. Back home, Voodoo Ink influenced and inspired a new generation of artists whose comics are now part of an ever growing industry in the island.
Today, fans have the opportunity to enjoy it's bold style once again! Work resumed in the fall of 2010 under Kids Gone Wrong Publications, and a new series was published in March of 2011: Voodoo Ink Mach 2.
April 2012 marked the 20th anniversary of Voodoo Ink’s original release. To celebrate, Kids Gone Wrong is ready to reintroduce their main title in the form of a new graphic novel anthology, building up on Voodoo Ink’s universe with all new stories and characters while preserving the Rock N’ Roll aesthetics and narrative that made the original a cult classic.
Voodoo Ink Mach 2: Book one collects for the first time in a single volume Voodoo Ink Mach 2 #1-4 plus the Puerto Rico exclusive Free Comic Book Day 2011 edition. As a bonus, the collection includes an all new Fosfor Bronz story with never before seen art.
Kids Gone Wrong Kids Gone Wrong, publishers of Voodoo Ink, offer the strongest, most revolutionary vision of black and white comic art, combining clever storytelling with dark humor and cutting-edge graphics. Offbeat action, fantasy, mystery and satire are the main themes of their publications.
