Edmund is a 61 year old common scribe, who came to his queer identity in his fifties, and Lucardo is a forever-thirty-something who’s had all the time and wealth in the world to self actualize, being an immortal and all. So, Letters for Lucardo is a four-part series about a romance between a late bloomer, Edmund Fiedler, who is a human, and Lucardo von Gishaupt, the heir to the mysterious Night Court consisting of immortals who follow the Silent Lord. Otava, just to start, could you remind people where you left things at the end of Fortunate Beasts? I’ve spoken with Heikkilä in the past, and we spoke briefly about this third volume, which is being crowdfunded starting today through April 28.

It’s a beautiful drawn and very delicately told love story with explicit sex scenes and it’s been striking to see how Heikkilä has grown as an artist and storyteller.

The series is about the relationship between a vampire and a mortal, and Heikkilä has brought a unique take and sensibility to the project. Otava Heikkilä has been making the series Letters for Lucardo in recent years, and this week Iron Circus Comics will be crowdfunding the third volume in the series, Letters for Lucardo: The Silent Lord.
