WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON PIKES PEAK?

Elisabeth notified me that she's about ready to start inking pages. I'm hoping to see a few come in next week. Depending on her progress will determine when the next Kickstarter for Issue 3 and 4 will be. I will keep you posted.

Quite a number of campaigns have launched this week, but here's a couple that caught my eye.

KICKSTARTER THANK YOU WALL

I almost forgot. The Kickstarter Thank you Wall is live. Please take a look. If a name was misspelled, let me know and I'll fix it. The conversion from Backerkit to Excel sometimes gets wonky. I do check it, but every once in awhile I miss something.

Important Update for Issues 3 and 4
4 months ago – Tue, Jan 09, 2024 at 11:07:42 AM

Hello Awesome Backers:

Happy New Year!

By now, almost everyone should have received their packages with a few exceptions.  If you haven't filled out your survey, you can find it through this link: https://boston-metaphysical-society-mystery-at-pikes-peak-1-2.backerkit.com/

ISSUES 3 AND 4

I've been holding off announcing this for privacy reasons and until I had more definitive information, but now is the right time...

Elisabeth, my artist, was in a some what serious car accident a number of months ago, and though she was generally all right, her hands were injured. She has been recuperating and is in physical therapy. The good news is that she is being cleared to work in a few weeks (probably early February) and is excited to start drawing again. The bad news is we are way behind my previous schedule. Obviously, only Elisabeth's health and recovery matter, so I'm not concerned about that. The issues will be completed. It will just take longer than I had anticipated.

Once I see how we're progressing, I'll be able to better plan the next Kickstarter. As usual, I will keep you posted.

In the meantime, I have decided to move forward with something that's been on the back burner for awhile. 

BOSTON METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY VOL.  1 SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION HARDBACK

Many of you have been asking when I was going to produce a hardback version, and the answer is, "I am this year!"  I'll have more images in a later post, but it will have a cover by Rebekah Isaacs (BZRKR, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel & Faith, etc.), plus pin up art, weapons sketches from Granville's workshop, and a brand new 10 page story.

I'm looking to launch the Kickstarter in March. 

Not to forget my colleagues, here are a couple of...
