ULTIMATE ASHCAN SPECIAL EDITIONS! Here at Duster, we printed black-and-white Ashcan proofs of each chapter of the book as they were fully completed and handed them out to close friends and family to look for printing errors, spelling mistakes, lettering problems, etc. These books feature temporary covers by Jay in his trademark style. Now that we're so far along in production, normally these proof copies would just be consigned to the wastebins of history, but instead we're offering them to YOU! These are the most collectible of all variations of Duster, full as they are with spelling mistakes, weird serifed capital-I's in the middle of words, jarring overprint problems, and other mistakes and errors. YOU GET: the digital copy of Duster, a signed hardback copy with your name in the acknowledgments, the t-shirt, the Howard Chaykin print, the Charlie Adlard print AND a limited-edition set of signed Ashcans! This truly is the ultimate comic collectors package! (international backers, please add $15 for shipping)

You receive 30 signed hardback copies of Duster (each with a suggested retail price of $40), a special thank you in the acknowledgments, 3 t-shirts, 3 Howard Chaykin prints, and 3 Charlie Adlard prints. That's a $1200 value for the books alone, and another $300 for the merch... and you're getting all of that for an astounding markdown. PLUS we pay the domestic shipping! (international stores pay shipping) Even better, we'll publicize your store after the Kickstarter campaign ends for latecomers who want to buy copies. Kickstarter projects never come offline, either, so it's a permanent advertisement for your store and recognition that you're a retailer who truly cares about creating great comics (and who also loves a smoking-hot deal!)

Creator Mike Shaffer on November 28
Hey Micah...thanks for the reply! I missed the 10/2013 ETA. No worries, now I know what he's getting next Christmas! Now get back to work :-)
Creator Micah Wright on November 23
Mike, the original estimate was for October of 2013, so it would literally be a Christmas Miracle if we were to finish it by THIS Christmas. ;) Hopefully you'll be able to give it out by NEXT Christmas, though, if everything goes as planned and we can keep the artists on schedule.
Creator Mike Shaffer on November 12, 2012
So...any chance this will be done by Christmas? Thought it would make a great present for my son in law, an aspiring comic book artist himself!
Creator Nick Kaufer on August 24, 2012
It's been nearly a month and no updates? What's going on?
Creator Nick Kaufer on July 26, 2012
Thanks for the reply Micah. Appreciate it. :)
Creator Micah Wright on July 25, 2012
Nope, we'll be posting updates here for our backers as well. :)
Creator Nick Kaufer on July 25, 2012
What if you don't have a Creep...er....I mean a Facebook account? Does that mean the people without a Creepboo.... I mean Facebook account are left out of the cool goings on?
Creator Chris Chew on July 25, 2012
Cool! Thanks Micah!
Creator Micah Wright on July 25, 2012
Chris, we'll be sending them in good packages, don't worry! If there are any problems, we'll exchange them. :)
Creator Chris Chew on July 24, 2012
Hi, I just have a quick question... will the book be packed securely upon shipping? I love my books especially hardcovers but if the packing is not secured properly, it will be dinged and dented... Amazon packed the worst. The best I seen packed, is books from http://www.instocktrades.com/
the foam is shaped the way it is packed with the book. Please consider this.\
This is one book... I highly anticipate!
Thank you!
Creator Leo Sanchez on July 24, 2012
Congrats!!
Eagerly await the release.
Creator Micah Wright on July 23, 2012
Thanks for all the kind thoughts, folks! We're super excited and with 7 hours left, still hopeful!
Creator Anthony Stagno on July 23, 2012
What a late surge! Congrats and can't wait!
Creator Paul Jenkins on July 23, 2012
Congrats on getting the project funded, guys! Really looking forward to seeing this.
Creator Eric Arsenault on July 23, 2012
Congrats guys, had my doubts that this project would get funded in time, glad that it will be !
Creator Antonio Garcia on July 23, 2012
Congratulations! Now we just need to wait for the Hardcover to be ready. Should be fun! Hahaha
Creator Jörg Dickel on July 23, 2012

Ok, Waiting Game sucks! Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos! :)
Creator Chris Chew on July 23, 2012
Just realised I gave the wrong cc... re-pledging now. sorry!
Creator Skye Mitchell on July 23, 2012
Argh! That's what happens when you type under the influence of excitement. I meant to say that she wouldn't be back in that apron any time soon!
Creator Skye Mitchell on July 23, 2012
Congratulations, team! I'm thrilled for you. What is even more wonderful, is that reaching the goal has not stopped people from continuing to support Duster. I think these final hours will be very telling. Go, Jo! You won't be giving up that apron any time soon!
Creator Chris Chew on July 23, 2012
WOOHOOO! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
a collective effort, no doubt!
now! all we have to do is... wait! :D
Creator Maxwell LaChance on July 23, 2012
F yeah it hit goal! I'm sorry I ever doubted it. CAN NOT WAIT.

Creator Steve Marmel on July 18, 2012
I tried something. About an hour ago I posted this on Facebook, but paid $20 to have it go out to 5K people.
The last time I did that, it created a 36 hour flame war between conservatives and democrats. Maybe something more positive will come out of this one.
Good luck, buddy.
Creator Micah Wright on July 17, 2012
Max, I'm not in doubt... for one thing, it's only $6,252 with 6 days left to go, for another, everyone I've spoken to says that the last 3-4 days are the busiest of any Kickstarter campaign (though I wish I'd gone the extra week to make up for San Diego Comic Con) instead of ending next Monday night, next, we know that YOU are going to talk all of YOUR FRIENDS into pledging for the book, and finally, we have a pretty big surprise promo coming up on one of the biggest sites on the internet which we're hoping will drive people to the site. Cross your fingers for us... but better than that, we want you to tweet and Facebook the http://Duster.me link! :)
Creator Maxwell LaChance on July 17, 2012
So any plans to get this released should you not hit goal? I'd love to get a copy of it, but I'm in doubt about whether you'll hit that last 7 grand in the next 7 days.
Creator Antonio Garcia on July 13, 2012
Got the Hardcover with the Tip in Signed Card. Hope this gets funded soon!
Creator Tony Palmieri on July 2, 2012
Upped my pledge!!! I want me a signed and numbered one! I've been pumping the crap out of this on my Facebook page :)
Creator JayLender on July 2, 2012
Thanks, Tony! Believe us, we are absolutely swinging for the stands--we know you're going to be happy with the results. 20 more finished pages went out to our colorist this weekend! Round up your friends, we need all the help we can get!
Creator Tony Palmieri on July 1, 2012
Pledged! Knock it out of the park guys!!!!
Creator Micah Wright on June 29, 2012
I know, Marco! We're so excited. We're preparing an update for all our backers.
Creator Marco Landi on June 29, 2012
50% !!!
Creator Gerolf Nikolay on June 22, 2012
Thanks Micah. Pledged for both prints!
Creator Micah Wright on June 21, 2012
Hi Gerolf! The Howard Chaykin art print is a print of our cover image which is the picture of Jo & Gideon above the town. We have two versions, the one on the on the white background. which is the cover, and then at the bottom of our campaign, if you look at that tiny drawing of the book on a phone/computer/etc., you can see a tiny glimpse of the 2nd version of the cover. We're planning to let all of our contributors vote on which one they want, and everyone will get the winner. Obviously, we'd remove the title text, etc.
The Charlie Adlard print is a new piece of artwork by the artist of The Walking Dead... because Charlie has been so busy getting all kinds of things ready for TWD #100 (art, advertising, etc.), he's been too busy to sit down and finish the print for us yet, so we don't have anything to show at this point, but we will hopefully have something before this Kickstarter ends in 32 days. (Hopefully!) Either way, you will DEFINITELY get a print and it will DEFINITELY be by Charlie Adlard, so if you're a fan of his work (and who isn't?) then you can pledge with confidence.
Creator Gerolf Nikolay on June 21, 2012
Any details on the art prints? What's the difference between the HOWARD CHAYKIN ART PRINT and A BEAUTIFUL COLOR PRINT BY CHARLIE ADLARD?
Creator Ann Ching on June 18, 2012
Great video--hoping you keep getting the buzz and backers this project deserves!
Creator Micah Wright on June 18, 2012
Kurt was extremely gracious, and we're all very thankful. We have more copies out, and are expecting more pro feedback soon.
Creator Frank Krulicki on June 18, 2012
In at $75 and looking forward to it. Having my favorite comicbook author, Kurt Busiek, plug it on twitter sure didn't hurt either.
Creator Micah Wright on June 18, 2012
The tip-in card will be signed... shipping books back and forth between Los Angeles and Buenos Aires would be prohibitively expensive. I mean, unless you WANT a $200 hardback copy... :)
Creator Arnout on June 18, 2012
First of all: Ow yeah Micah! I have been waiting for this announcement since I discovered the FB-page. Really looking forward to seeing this funded. It's a big goal, I have my fingers crossed!
Just as a clarification, where the option for a signed copy is mentioned, does this mean the tip in art card that will be signed, or just the book? Not really 100% clearly stated.
