Kickstarter Version
The first three issues of Road Trip to Hell were originally funded through Kickstarter across three successful campaigns.
Road Trip to Hell #1: The Devil is in the Detail
This Kickstarter kicks off the ongoing series Road Trip to Hell, a dark comedy filled with action, adventure and the worst the world had to offer. This is the first 24 page issue (22 pages of story + thank you pages) of a three issue first volume.
The story follows Francis, a young man who was born with the ability to be able to see horrible things in a person's future just by touching them. He meets Baphomet, a demon who informs him his father is the devil and he's been destroyed.
And according to his will, Francis has been named the new king of Hell.
Praise for Road Trip to Hell:
“Road Trip to Hell is a wild, clever, inventive ride, mixing memorable, original characters that you root for and historical figures that you long to see finally get what they deserve. With the return of villains we thought we'd seen the last of, this story is timely and timeless. To find out what happens in this series, I will gladly go to hell!”—Jennie Wood (Flutter)
“The story is as gripping as it is entertaining, and the pacing keeps me wanting more!”—Marty LeGrow (Bizenghast, Toyetica)
“Son of a…Devil? Rather, son of THE Devil. Road Trip to Hell is a great first comic from Nicole D'Andria. Marco Maccagni, Joaquin Pereyra, and Justin Birch compliment the witty writing and hairpin plot twists. Definitely pick this one up.” —Erica Schultz (Xena, Twelve Devils Dancing)

Road Trip to Hell #2: The Angel of Death
Our road trip to hell continues with this Kickstarter featuring rewards for the first two issues of the Road Trip to Hell. This is a dark comedy series filled with action, adventure and the worst the world had to offer. This Kickstarter is to help pay for the printing of the second 24 page issue (22 pages of story + thank you pages) of a three issue first volume.
In the second issue, Francis and his new guardian angel, Joan of Arc, must go to the Angel of Mercy hospital, which has been taken over by Nazis! Francis must go toe-to-toe with Adolf Hitler himself to save his sister.
Praise for Road Trip to Hell:
"This is the kind of story I wish I would’ve come up with first… then I realize I couldn’t have pulled it off this good!" —Shawn Gabborin (Black Betty, Puppet Master)
“Why are you reading this quote about how good Road Trip to Hell is, when you can just read it and experience the goodness!”—Chad Perkins (ComicsRKewel)
“Road Trip to Hell is an impressive debut that reminds me a bit of the tragically short-lived TV show, Reaper. It has that same vein of dark humor and deals with just as much of the supernatural. This book sets itself out, pulling from a number of fun aspects of the Bible and history.”—James Ferguson (Horror DNA)
“I really enjoyed it. Good, clean premise. Deep characters. The art works nicely. And I love that the whole thing has a Buffy-esque swagger to it.” (Rylend Grant, Aberrant)

Road Trip to Hell #3: Divine Intervention
The biggest Kickstarter for Road Trip to Hell so far! Go on a road trip to Hell with Francis Rhoades, a man born with a terrible power who discovers he's the son of the devil. Now that the devil has died, Francis has been named King of Hell. But in order to inherit his powers, he must travel to Hell alongside his guardian angel, Joan of Arc, and his sister, Star, who's in remission from cancer. And if anyone from Hell kills Francis before he can get there, they get to take his crown! Can Francis survive his trip to Hell? And even if he does, will he be a benevolent ruler or turn out to be even worse than the devil himself??? This dark comedy series has action, adventure, and the worst the world had to offer.
This Kickstarter is to help pay for the printing of the third 24-page issue (22 pages of story + thank you pages) of a three-issue first volume as well as variant covers for the second and third issues to complete a three-issue variant set by Zoe Stanley.

Praise for Road Trip to Hell:
"Road Trip to Hell is an unforgettable ride through devious demons, high-octane dangers, and a splash of dark humor that's not to be missed!"—Brittany Matter (REINCARNATION, MARTIAL LAW)
“In a book that contains some of the most notorious people to ever walk this earth, the son of the devil, and hell itself - D’Andria brings levity with her script, which bodes perfectly with Monika Maccagn’s cartoony visuals. The creative team makes this book one ‘hell of a trip’.”—Kat Calamia (Like Father, Like Daughter, Slice of Life)
“Road Trip to Hell is a visually rich experience with a cool premise, snappy dialogue, and an action-forward mentality that makes it impossible to avoid getting swept up in.” (Comic Book Yeti)
