Our Super Adventure

Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins started dating long distance in 2011, and Graley began making scrappy black-and-white comics about their relationship. Over the next few years, they moved in together and started going to comic shows around the U.K., where Graley sold collections of the comic strips. In 2013, Graley started making the comics in full color. In 2015, a Kickstarter campaign funded the collection of 200 full-color comics into a hardcover book. The campaign became one of the U.K.'s top 10 most-backed and most-funded comics Kickstarter projects as of that year.
Graley continued to post "Our Super Adventure" comics alongside her other comic work, including writing and drawing a five-issue official "Rick and Morty" mini-series, "Lil' Poopy Superstar," and creating an original comic series, "Kim Reaper," for Oni Press. Purenins started doing lettering and color assistant duties with Graley in 2017. In 2018, they ran a Kickstarter for a second collection of comics called "Our Super Adventure Volume 2: Video Games and Pizza Parties!" This one did better than the first and once again was in the U.K.'s top 10 most-backed and most-funded comics Kickstarter projects. Oni Press also did a retail release of the first two "Our Super Adventure" books.
Graley and Purenins make "Our Super Adventure" strips weekly and work on other comic projects, run an online store, and make occasional appearances at comic conventions in the U.K. and the U.S.
