‘Wine Ghost Goes To Hell’ Is Sexy, Funny, And Spooky [Exclusive]
Spike Trotman’s Iron Circus Comics, the trailblazing comics publisher that has raised nearly 3 million dollars over more than 30 crowdfunding campaigns, is crowdfunding Wine Ghost Goes To Hell, the irreverent, sassy, and sexy graphic novel debut from cartoonist Sage Coffey.
Check out the full synopsis:
When Wine Ghost was alive, she was an alcohol-soaked train wreck. Now that she’s dead… Well, not all that much has changed. When an old friend from her living days unexpectedly dies, Wine Ghost is faced with a lot more responsibility than she bargained for. She learned the ropes to hell a long time ago but it’s his first rodeo. And, boy, howdy, it’s a wild one.
“Apartment hunting is a curse and it’s one that follows Wine Ghost, a hairy-legged mess, and her friend Sebastian, a green bichon, into the afterlife. Their hunt to find somewhere liveable among the dead leads them to an underground BDSM club with a room available for rent!” Coffey exclusively told Dread Central. “There’s no horror quite like reality and with that, Wine Ghost finds that the most terror in Hell isn’t coming from the leather-clad snake gator landlord or the skinless dominatrix but somewhere much closer to home.”
Drunk ghosts? BDSM clubs? Sex demons? Sign us up, please, and thank you. As if we weren’t already excited about Coffey’s latest project, we’ve got the exclusive cover reveal, too!

Best known for their work in The New Yorker, The Nib, The Washington Post, and on the GLAAD 2021 nominated video game BUGSNAX, Sage Coffey is a trans nonbinary cartoonist living in Chicago, IL. Their full-color graphic novel debut is a supernatural romp, featuring a slice of glamor and disaster, and the prelaunch page is now live on BackerKit.
“One of the great joys of publishing comics is introducing cartoonists to a wider audience,” said Iron Circus Publisher, Spike Trotman. “If you haven’t read Sage Coffey’s comics, it’s time to sit up and pay attention. This is Wine Ghosts’s world, we’re just living in it.”
“Imagine if the magazine Hollywood Insider was a person,” said Coffey. “Now imagine that person is a dead alcoholic. That’s Wine Ghost! She is drama, she is fashion. She insists that wine counts as a fruit. And she may be her newly dead friend’s only hope of having a life after death.”
Wine Ghost Goes To Hell will feature pink-dyed page edges. The BackerKit campaign will feature rewards and stretch goals, including glow-in-the-dark Wine Ghost vinyl figures.
