We are thrilled to announce that The Dark Chronicles of Cymru #3 has officially become the most funded Welsh language comic on Kickstarter, marking a major milestone for Welsh comics, Welsh folklore, and independent publishing.
The latest issue in our acclaimed horror anthology series celebrates the myths, legends, and folklore of Wales while helping bring Welsh-language storytelling to a new generation of readers.
A New Chapter of Welsh Horror
Issue #3 features one of Wales' most iconic and haunting legends: Mari Lwyd.
Known for its horse-skull visage and eerie winter traditions, Mari Lwyd has fascinated and terrified people across Wales for centuries. Now, the legend has been reimagined as a chilling horror comic story, bringing this piece of Welsh folklore to life for comic readers around the world.
Whether you're a lifelong fan of Welsh mythology or discovering these stories for the first time, The Dark Chronicles of Cymru offers a unique blend of horror, history, and cultural storytelling.
Supporting Welsh Language Reading Through Comics
At Afterlight Comics, we believe the Welsh language should have a place in modern pop culture.
Comics are one of the most accessible forms of storytelling available today, and by publishing Welsh-language editions of The Dark Chronicles of Cymru, we hope to encourage more people to engage with Welsh through horror, folklore, and graphic storytelling.
As Wales continues its efforts to increase the number of Welsh speakers, we are proud to play a small part in making Welsh-language content more accessible, exciting, and engaging for readers of all ages.
A Record-Breaking Kickstarter Success
The support for The Dark Chronicles of Cymru has been incredible.
The first two issues sold out and went on to receive additional print runs, helping introduce Welsh folklore to readers across the UK and beyond. With Issue #3, readers helped propel the series to a new milestone, making it the most funded Welsh-language comic ever launched on Kickstarter.
This achievement would not have been possible without the support of our backers, readers, creators, and the wider Welsh community.
