I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend because the Redhead is sure is :D
With less than a week on Kickstarter we're pretty much through the ENTIRE phase 1 of Stretch Goals, this is the fastest we ever unlocked this much extra content and made it to 1000 backers.
All thanks to your incredible support, I really cannot thank you all enough!
Here are three more Stretch Goals unlocked:
All items added to EVERY single physical pledge going out the mail. It doesn't matter if you picked up the regular cover or one of the variants or the full collection, everyone will now get:
- A double-sided bookmark printed in gloss glossy card stock
- A beautiful large-size sticker
- One more collectible card to our ever growing collection (my personal favorite!)
And as soon as we make it to $30K, and we're pretty darn close, a second collectible card will be added to every package featuring Carol Costa as Red :D
How's that for our first few days on Kickstarter?!
Project(s) Spotlight
I, Dragon Trilogy - Medieval Fantasy Graphic Novels
Past backers know I have a habit of doing these Spotlights, I think it's a great to promote the community spirit that's so present on Kickstarter. I love recommending projects to TFAC fans and readers from fellow creators and them in turn do the same.
First up we have an incredibly gorgeous project by Alien Books and my good friend Matias Timarchi. He is a terrific editor and all around comics talent and he is got this stunning project running that funded in 30min and is ending in three days. The art alone is worth it but the book also happens to be a classic.
From their own page: "In the year 1280, the inhabitants of the Rosentall Castle found themselves surrounded by a massive army. Led by the bastard descendant of a lost royal line who has returned to stake her claim to the throne, she sets out to begin a long and bloody war for power. Meanwhile, inside the castle, a strange woman with a traveling carnival gives birth to her first child.
How do all of these stories interconnect? Who will fate smile upon and who will end up dead in the mud? And how does a fierce, mysterious dragon who lives in a volcano play into all of this?!"
Horus in Hell #1-3: A Demented Saturday Morning Cartoon
Another project fully funded and finishing up in the next three days, this one looks like a blast, just really fun! It's been unlocking Stretch Goals left and right so you know you'll get a lot for your buck.
From their own page: "Once upon a time, there lived a pink rabbit named Horus who roamed the fiery depths of hell and he really liked to kill things. Perhaps a little too much... one crips, autumn day, while engaging in battle with angelic forces from heaven a gigantic hand from above made a very dramatic entrance and snatched him from his victory over the angels... by a very drunk magician. And that's just the beginning..."
Butterfly Tears Special Edition: Chinese Folklore Anthology

Last but not least we got another project that's fully funded and about to go into their last week by a very talented and good friend of mine: Fang Fang. If you are into classic romance and manga then this project is certainly up to you!
From her own page: "This is a 125+page fantasy manga-style comic anthology featuring four standalone love stories inspired by Chinese folklore akin to Shakespearean tragedy and romance stories. The heartbreaking and enduring legend of The Butterfly Lovers, China's own Romeo and Juliet, meets the world of fantasy."
And that's it for today's Update, folks. You'll certainly hear back from me some time next week as soon as we unlock the last two SGs from Phase 1 and I get to announce Phase 2 - where things really get spicy!
Until then I wish you all an incredible weekend and thanks so much again for supporting The Few and Cursed and getting us this far so quickly. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
Much love,
Felipe
