This self-contained tale takes place before Marceline was “turned” and tells about her backstory as well as how she became the Vampire Queen she is today. The story is written and illustrated by Hanna K., a storyboard artist for the Adventure Time animated series. There have been glimpses and stories about Marceline’s past both in the comic and cartoon, but this issue goes where no one has dared to go before!
