      Congrats Mike! Really looking forward to the copy! I'll make the comic experts jealous here in Amsterdam ;)

      Merillo, I will wait until it ends before I give my final thoughts, but right now, I can say I am truly overwhelmed with the generous support of all my backers.

      Michael, as the last few hours expire do you have any thoughts on your Kickstarter drive?

      Yes, there will be a line in the Backers' Survey to list whatever you would like to be referred to in the acknowledgements section. I just filled out a survey for another project and thought that was a good idea.

      Hi,

      This is a bit early (like, months early!) but I'd like to make a suggestion for when you set up the Backers' Survey? If you've not thought of it already, could you include an item for how people would like their names to appear in the acknowledgements section?

      I know that many people just created a KS account with their given name but there are a few oldies like me who are just used to using login names (aka *shudder*, 'handles') with online accounts - which is great when you're online but it does look a mite odd in print (looking at the list of names in a Reward I've got from from another project).

      It may even go the other way - a Comics/SF Fan might want like to use their favourite Con Name...

      Very exciting. I used to own a comic book store back in the day. We specialized in old school and alternative material. This would have fit in perfectly. Very nice work.

      Really looking forward to this. I am big fan of pulp style games and comics and, being a bit of an old fart, I also remember some of the old newspaper style adventure comic strips, especially the Phantom. Sounds like fun!
