      Hi Rachel,

      I am sorry to be MIA. I will post all about it in my upcoming update this week. The book is in progress. It's just taking longer than expected. Stay tuned. New update coming later tonight!

      This is a birthday present to myself and the suspense is killing me. I know you are super busy K, but how much longer do we have to wait?

      Hi Kosongz. The past two weeks of my life have been crazy. No time for anything. JC is still working on artwork though so we are progressing. I'll get an update posted soon with some new art. Hang in there!

      Hi Kosongz,

      I just messaged all of the digital only tier backers earlier with the pdf links and sent an update with the wallpaper page links.

      Thanks!

      Hi Lance,

      Those will be going out as soon as I finish lettering issue #3 so everyone can read all 3 issues at once. I just sent a new update with more information. Check your email :)

      Mark,

      The $10 get an official Thank you in the book and receive a sticker or postcard of original artwork. This is not included in the digital only tier.

      Creator Mark on January 31

      Do the $10 pledges get the same digital offers as the $7 pledges?
      The End is Totally Nigh etc...

      Creator K. Barrett on January 7

      Hi Kosongz,

      I'm waiting to finish lettering issue #3 so you can read them all at once. I'm hoping to send out the link in about a week or so.

      Just pledged at the $25 level. Really hope to also receive "The End is Totally Nigh".

      Creator Antonio Garcia on December 21

      @Scott: I have exactly the same question. Hopefully we do get the digital versions of the End is Totally Nigh since it would be a nice bonus for pushing this upwards of $15k.

    16. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Scott Rowland on December 20

      Looks good! Do tiers above $7 also get the digital versions of "THE END IS TOTALLY NIGH "?

      I just stumbled upon your campaign, watched the video and immediately wanted to read your story! It reminds me of the enjoyment found in Anne Rice's novels and my unhealthy addiction to pulp (in a good way!) 60's/70's horror comics (I was a big Dark Shadows fan). All the best with your campaign!

      Can't afford to pledge right now.. have to cut down on the amount of pledging.. so I am cancelling my pledge on the projects that are already well above their goals. I would love to keep backing this project but just need to limit things a bit. Sorry.

      I lived in Oklahoma City all my life before moving to Redmond, WA 12 years ago and you don't realize how much joy I have seeing someone from OKC working on a graphic comic and putting it on Kickstarter. I wish you the best.

      Hi Charles,
      This my project and I am the writer and creator. Yes, I am located in Oklahoma city.

      Creator Charles Alvis on November 20, 2012

      Is this project really from Oklahoma City?

      Didn't even have to look at the preview.. the subtitle alone "A Supernatural Graphic Novel Set In The 1950's" was enough to pledge at $10 tier. :)

      Thanks Jack. We appreciate the support very much :)

      Creator jack on November 18, 2012

      I've been looking for a good comic project and this is definitely it. The art is tremendous and the story is fairly unique. Just from the preview I can see you have the tone down. Good luck to you.

      Thank you Paul. We appreciate the tweets more than you know! Keep it up. I really hope we reach our goal and I can't wait to share this book with everyone.

      That preview's absolutely perfect. I'm hooked from the start. This is the best preview I've seen for a graphic novel on kickstarter. Love the tone. Darwyn Cooke's take on Parker meets Robert Johnson at the crossroads.
