I've finished the first volume of Strangebeard! It's called The Ghost Pirate's Gift, and it'll be 114 pages of piratical awesomeness. I've launched a Kickstarter to cover the costs of printing the book, and I'm proud to report that the funding has already reached its minimum!
The next challenge is secure stretch goals; we've already passed the $5000 mark which means everyone at the $25+ level gets a bookmark and a die-cut sticker... but at $6000, we can upgrade the book to nicer paper and better stock for the cover!
I've also got some pinup artists supplying me with amazing artwork for the book: so far, I've got Riley Rossmo, Mike Rooth, Tom Fowler, Fiona Staples, and Nick Bradshaw announced. I'll announce two more tomorrow (Friday) and a final artist on the weekend. Keep your peepers trained on my Twitter feed for more news.
Thanks so much to those of you who've pledged, and for those of you who are planning to. It's been a wild ride so far but I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
