You get the t-shirt, the flash drive and the signed/lettered (A-Z) TPB…AND your likeness (or the likeness of a loved one, if you’d like to make this a gift) gets drawn into an issue of Orphans, mostly likely issue #3, where the character with your likeness will meet a gruesome fate (no spoilers, here). You’ll receive a black and white 11” x 17” print of the page on which your likeness first appears. The print will be on heavy paper, suitable for framing.

Eric's adolescent scribbling. The original piece of artwork depicting Eric's first attempt (ca. 1993) at drawing the character who would become Alexis Quinn (but who was, at the time, a superhero named Alex Marshall, alias 'Night-Stryker,' because that's how comics rolled in the early '90s) . Anyway, you get the original art, framed and signed, with a personalized message written in the empty word balloon. You also get the digital downloads, the trade paperback, the flash drive, and the tee-shirt.

Eric will letter your comics project! He's been lettering his own for a few years now, and knows a thing or two about the gig, so if you have a project that's between 0-32 pages, Eric will happily letter it for you. Plus, we'll throw in digital downloads of Orphans #1-5, as they're released.

A half-page advertisement for your business will be appended to each of the five PDF downloads. Your ad is subject to approval (although I’m reasonably open-minded) and must be appropriate for PG-13 audiences. You also get the shirt and the loaded flash drive.

So you wanna be a villain. The villain of our story doesn’t have a name yet, and with this reward, you – yes, YOU! – get naming rights to the big bad. (Mild spoiler: there are actually two major villains, so the name can be either masculine or feminine, and we’ll make it work). Will it be you, your spouse, your best friend, that guy who still owes you the five bucks you loaned him in high school? The choice – within reason* – is yours. Of course, the name is subject to approval, and there are reasonable limits. (*This reward is intended for someone who'll cherish having their name in a comic book, rather than for someone who'll use it out of malice. It'd be far too easy to the name the bad guy after an ex-boyfriend or an ex-president.)

You’re crazy! A full page advertisement for for your business will be appended to each of the five PDF downloads AND printed in the TPB. You’ll also get ten signed and lettered (A-Z) copies of the TPB, ten copies of the flash drive and ten ORPHANS tee-shirts.
