For those who are looking to continuously support Black Mirror — San Junipero, or may be interested in monetarily backing the comic, Twisted Comics notes that "one of the most distinctive features of the campaign is the opportunity for fans to become part of the story. Select reward tiers allow backers to be illustrated into the comic as background characters, offering a unique way to appear within the world of San Junipero." The "San Junipero" episode of Black Mirror has claimed two Emmy wins and has been widely celebrated for its narrative success.
Twisted Comics founder Neil Gibson praises their approach to a beloved Black Mirror episode. "San Junipero is one of the most loved Black Mirror episodes, and translating it into a graphic novel was something we approached with real care. Our goal was to honor the tone and emotion of the original story while presenting it in a format that both fans and comic readers can experience in a new way. We’re also offering fans the chance to be illustrated in the background of select pages, a unique way to get involved," he said.

Image via Twisted ComicsTwisted Comics insists that Black Mirror — San Junipero is a faithful retelling of the Black Mirror episode, translated for the medium of comics. "Following on from the breakout launch issue of USS Callister comes another fan favourite from the Black Mirror anthology, the infamous San Junipero. Brought to life by the aptly twisted indie publisher, Twisted Comics, Black Mirror’s iconic tales navigate humanity's worst traits, greatest innovations, and unexpected turns that lurk within these mind-bending stories. The latest episode-to-graphic novel adaptation is written by acclaimed writer Neil Gibson, artist Phil Buckenham, and the all-new series cover from Butcher Billy. Are you ready for the holiday of a lifetime?" the publishing company said in the book's official synopsis.
It was also noted that "San Junipero is fully illustrated, and all that remains is to replace some characters with lucky backers who will be featured in the story for all time. The graphic novel will be printed in hardback, standard US comic book size, and captures each era in all its neon, gothy, indie glory, depending on where you stop off."
Black Mirror — San Junipero's Kickstarter can be financially supported through the comic's funding page.
