There are only 4 days left on the Kickstarter for Tales From The Road Volume 3. As of tonight, we are 103% funded…so this book is happening!
Even though we’ve hit our funding goal, we’re pushing for an even bigger number. Here’s why you should still considering jumping in on this campaign.
A bigger number helps us for future collaborations. The more we’re able to raise, the easier it is to get bigger names to sign on down the road. Any extra money beyond what is needed to create/print/ship will be going back into the machine to make the next book even better.
The 4 variant covers will never be available again at this price. (Try finding one of last year’s Danhausen covers on ebay for less than 100.00 - if you can find them at all)
Limited Rewards - we have some super limited stuff available in this campaign that I promise you will not be available in the next one.
It’s a great fucking book. No matter what cover you choose….between it lies what I feel is the strongest collection we’ve done cover-to-cover.
Appearances
I came off my four week convention tour to record a bunch of interviews this week for the final push. I recorded all of these on Tuesday, you know just in case you were curious as to why I was wearing the same thing in all of them.
Hammerlock Hangover I/A/W WSN Interview with Mike Kingston of HEADLOCKEDCOMIC
I also recorded with Sean Radican of PWTorch and Jim Varsellone. I’ll have those links once they’ve dropped.
I’ll also be appearing on Bryan Alvarez on Friday at 345PM, Busted Open on Saturday at 1030AM with Tommy Dreamer and Denise Salcedo and recording the Mat Men Podcast on Saturday for release on Sunday.
Retailer deal
I’d like to get more copies of Tales From The Road into comic stores but I’d like to avoid giving 65% of my cover price to a distributor. We’ve cooked up a great retailer tier for the Kickstarter that is both flexible and affordable for any retailer.
What I need you to do is tweet, post, or tag your favorite retailers in this so they can get some Tales From The Road in their store.
Here's a tweet you can tag retailers in.
NYCC - got lots of questions about NYCC. Yes, we’ll be there. Yes, it’ll be our usual spot. Yes, we’ll have some exclusives. And yes, we’ll have guests.
PWInsider definitely leaked one of them
I’ll talk more about this next week, once we’re past the Kickstarter. That has to be the priority right now.
Just wanted to send a special thank everyone that’s backed the campaign so far. This one has been so much harder than the previous 6 and I appreciate you getting in early. I’ve been able to make comics for almost 15 years thanks to the support of great people like you and I do my best never to take that for granted.
Til next week!
