Now live on BackerKit from Magnetic Press, The Fantasy Dream Worlds of Tony Sandoval spotlights the acclaimed artist’s most iconic works—led by a newly remastered edition of 1000 Storms. A spiritual follow-up to Watersnakes, this moody, magical tale follows a misunderstood girl who discovers a portal to another world—one filled with demons threatening to invade her own.
A haunting story about fear, strength, and the power of being different, 1000 Storms is presented here with restored artwork and revised lettering.
These preview pages capture Sandoval’s signature blend of eerie fantasy and surreal emotion, where childhood and darkness blur.
His work has earned multiple Eisner nominations (Doomboy, Watersnakes) and international acclaim, including the Prix d’Excellence from France’s Festival Quai des Bulles.
This campaign breathes new life into several long-unavailable works, each presented in Magnetic’s signature format: curved corners, spotUV detailing, and lush archival-quality printing. The collection spans Sandoval’s most acclaimed titles, including The Dragons of Paris (2024), DoomBoy (2011), Watersnakes (2018), 1000 Storms (2020), A Glance Backward (2015), Rendez-vous in Phoenix (2016), and The Windy Day (2019).
With just 8 days left in the campaign, now’s the time to step into Sandoval’s dream world before this amazing collection vanishes.
