Kirsten Thompson

Kirsten Thompson crafts stories where magic meets political intrigue. I Am Hexed is her flagship creator-owned comic—a supernatural political thriller set in an alternate America where witches have been part of the political fabric of Washington D.C. since the nation’s founding. The series follows Charlie, Jaya, and Florence, three queer witches on the run from malevolent forces both inside and outside the government as they unravel a mystery that could save the entire witching community.

Her work explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle for equality through the lens of magical realism. The series debuted as a four-issue Kickstarter-funded comic book miniseries, with each issue exceeding its funding goals. The collected Volume 1 was published by Rocketship Entertainment in December 2023.

Perfect for fans of political thrillers with supernatural elements and comics that use magic as a metaphor for real-world social movements.
