Update #24: Hey Red Fog, how about an update? PLUS Limited Edition Print
Yes indeed...it's been about 10 weeks since our last update and that's long enough isn't it? Zombie Mike Docherty is inking away on Chapter three and that means we can officially say that Red Fog has crossed the halfway mark. Once San Diego Comic-Con rolls around July 12, we should have Chapter Three complete and be well on our way laying out the final two installments.
We are particularly excited for Comic-Con this year because Red Fog, along with George Pratt, is going to be offering Limited Edition prints of his incredible cover art. George is certainly one of the most revered comic book artists in the industry, and we are so very fortunate to have him involved in this project. Since this would never have been possible without your support, Red Fog would like to offer our backers the first opportunity to collect this piece. Pricing and Edition size are still TBD, but please email me if you think this might interest you at:
redfogcomic@me.com
subject: PRINT
Once more details become available, I will contact you directly. Shown below, it will measure 18 x 24 inches with the image floating on field of white. They will be signed and numbered of course, and they will be a great collectibles for any zombie or comic art fans. For anyone attending Comic-Con in person, we also might have a chance to meet George in person. So great.
Finally, I would like to encourage anyone who has a Facebook account to head over to our Red Fog page. I occasionally post updates there as well, and it would be great to have you 'like' us so we can broaden our reach so to speak. I've just updated the splash page and I think you guys will like it. It lives here:

Anyway, that's all for now. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
All the best!

Update #22: RED FOG - A Year later
What a year! Just 12 months ago, we were in the middle of our pledge drive and unsure if we'd meet our funding goal. Today? We are in full production on our very own zombie graphic novel! How great is that? Mike and I are very thankful for the opportunity YOU provided. It's been a lot of fun and we are well on our way to making a fun comic. Here's the latest:
-Chapters One and Two are a lock! It's been an amazing process to see our project evolve from the initial outline to Mike's finished pages. And now that we have added the dialog, it feels like a living breathing comic! Chapter Three is being roughed as we speak, and before the new year, we will be over the halfway point for our project! Excellent!
-Renowned artist George Pratt has begun sketching his ideas for our cover. This is particularly exciting and we can't wait to see the end result! George has been kind enough to let us post them here so you can get a first look. What an amazing start! We'll post more as he hones in on the final design. Thank you George!
Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks again everyone. Have a safe and happy holiday season wherever you may be. Don't forget to visit us over at our Facebook page!

Update #20: How about an update on Red Fog?
Yes indeed. A fine idea!
It's been far too long! I just wanted to let everybody know that yes...we are still making great progress on the book. Mike just finished off the last pages for Chapter 2 and we both feel the story is really starting to pick up steam now. Lots of fun stuff.
If you are interested, I've attached a small detail from one of our pages below. Please understand that this is early days on taking Mike's excellent work and readying it for printing. It's a work in progress, and a lot can and probably will change in terms of the dialog, fonts, balloon placement etc. The final pages will certainly not be tinted blue as it appears here, but it's really just meant to be a sneak peak. Hope you like it!
Finally, a couple of reminders for everybody. Firstly, don't hesitate to mail us if you want more detail on progress, or any other questions you might have. We are more than happy to address them! Secondly, for anyone who's slated to be a zombie in the book....don't forget to send me those pics. We want to make sure we can get you in the book in a timely manner.
Anyway, that's all for now.
Go Zombies!
Chris and Mike
