THANK YOU!

Thanks to all of you who helped us reach (and blow past) the funding goal! Please know that that extra money will go to all of our TOO TOUGH TO DIE contributors, which is fantastic. It's been a tough year not seeing our comics community at shows, both our customers and other artists & publishers, so it warms our hearts to know you're all still out there doing your thing. 


The next step is editing, proofreading, designing and, in some cases, coloring all these comics! 

Everything else is gravy.

We did it! Thank you for your help in reaching the funding goal. I'm so grateful to everyone who has backed the Kickstarter and/or helped spread the word. Everything pledged beyond the goal will go to contributing artists for the TOO TOUGH TO DIE anthology, so I'm hoping the momentum remains. 


Here's a new reward tier just added. Rottsteak, the artist behind the "Everything Is Super" graphic novel, will draw your superhero portrait in the style he uses in the comic.

New rewards added!

Hello! First off, thanks to all of you for your support and help in getting the word out. We're over 60% funded with nearly three weeks to go. I'm hoping to exceed the funding goal since everything past that will go to our artists, so please keep letting people know about this campaign. 


We've added two new great reward tiers: A custom superhero portrait by "Everything Is Super" artist Rottsteak, and a drawing of Screeching Weasel guitarist Mike Hunchback (as a stupid asshole teen, from their TOO TOUGH TO DIE collaboration) drawn by Gregory Benton! These are limited, so act quickly if you want 'em. Backers can always switch their reward tier at any time up until the campaign ends.

Add-on items now available!

Wow, we're already 1/3 funded. Thank you everyone! 

Kickstarter has a new feature allowing add-on items. I've included most of our popular minis and graphic novels from years past, but please let me know if there's something you want but don't see. So, for instance, if you back our complete 2021 line of publications but don't have the first issue of FLOP SWEAT (that came out last year), you can now add that on to your reward tier. 


We'll be adding some other new reward tiers as well. You can always switch your reward through Kickstarter at any time until the campaign ends. 


Thanks again, and as always, anything you can do to give a signal boost is greatly appreciated. With Kickstarter it's all-or-nothing, so if we don't reach the goal, we don't get the funding!


P.S. Here's a page from Karl Christian Krumpholz' TOO TOUGH TO DIE comic that just came in!
