Into the Home Stretch - New Stretch Goal Revealed!
about 4 years ago – Sat, Oct 10, 2020 at 07:15:48 AM

Hi Everyone,

It's been a great campaign so far and now we're entering the home stretch! We're very close to unlocking the 5th stretch goal at $10,000 and as an added incentive to keep pushing beyond that, I've added a 6th stretch goal to be unlocked at $11,000 - A 5x7" postcard by Chuck Pires!

Some of you may be familiar with the art of Chuck Pires. I'm a huge fan of his work and I've been following him for a while now on Instagram (@chuckartt). His specialty is doing commissions of comic characters in a slick digitally-painted style with a slightly animated look. When I realized that we may exceed our original stretch goals, I decided to ask Chuck to do an illustration of Deborah Daring and to my pleasant surprise, he accepted!  He just started on it a couple of days ago, so I don't have anything to show you yet. However, I thought I would show a modified-piece of his previous work as a 'Teazer' for the new stretch goal, which you can see above. I can't wait to see his final piece!

In the spirit of cross-promotion, I have a couple of cool comic campaigns to tell you about.

The Wild Cosmos #1-3: A Sci-fi, Fantasy Adventure, by Curtis Clow. An infamous space smuggler must capture a magical girl and exchange her with enemy space pirates to get his crew mate back. You can check out his campaign HERE.

DANGER ARCADE, by The Comic Bug, Inc. A comic book ARCADE full of EXCITING stories of DANGER! You can check out their campaign HERE.

Thanks again for all your generous support and keep spreading the word about Deborah Daring online. With your support, I'm confident we can unlock the next couple of stretch goals this weekend!

Stay tuned for another update soon.

Cheers,

Hooray! We just exceeded 200 backers AND unlocked the 3rd stretch goal! Thanks to your generous pledges we're on our way to unlocking the 4th stretch goal!

I've been waiting for the appropriate milestone to announce some BIG NEWS! Back by popular demand, Deb's nemesis, DANUTA, will be back in issue 7!

In the spirit of cross-promotion, I'd like to tell you about another cool graphic novel. Amiculus: A Secret History Omnibus, by Tavis Horseman. The last emperor of the Western Roman Empire, a 12-year-old boy named Romulus, was deposed by barbarian conquerors and disappeared from history. Sixty years later, the Eastern Roman army of Byzantium has returned to reconquer the West.

You can check it out on Amazon HERE.  

Thanks again for all your generous support. Keep spreading the word online about the campaign and I'm confident we'll unlock the next stretch goal in no time. Stay tuned for more updates soon!

First Stretch Goal Unlocked!
about 4 years ago – Wed, Sep 23, 2020 at 03:02:30 PM

Yay! Just unlocked the first stretch goal, thanks in large part to a monster pledge for the original illustration of the variant cover by Randy Green. We've got plenty more stretch goals to unlock, so keep spreading the word about this campaign. 

Up next, is the $7,000 CAD Stretch Goal, which features a cool digital wallpaper for your monitor. This explosive action scene is from the opening sequence to issue 7. When I wrote the script for this scene, I wanted  an eye-popping sequence that really grabs the readers attention, similar to  some of Trinity's action sequences in The Matrix Reloaded. (One of my favorite movies!) I gotta say, I'm very pleased with how Hakan brought this scene to life!

In the spirit of cross-promotion, I encourage you to check out another cool comic campaign on Kickstarter: STARS Song01, by Tyrone Jackson at SoveReign Comics. The balance amidst rock star and superhero has never been so BLURRED and for this group, it's time to choose. Hero, rock star, or both! You can check out his campaign HERE.

Thanks again for all your support and stay tuned for more updates soon!

In the spirit of cross-promotion, I'd like to tell you about another cool comic campaign on Kickstarter, by Brant Fowler: Celestial Falcon #1-2: Supernatural Warfare, Superhero Style.
