Quick Pre-Weekend Update
over 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 11:34:19 PM

Hi everyone! I know I said I’d leave it a couple of days before sending another update but with the weekend imminent I thought I’d send one now so we can all have the weekend off!

We’re very close to unlocking the second stretch goal, so by the time we send the next update we really hope we’ll have hit it.

We’ve been in contact with the printer over the last couple of days and everything seems to be going according to schedule. With the graphic novels we need to have a physical proof copy before going to print, which will add a few days but there’s plenty of time between the project ending and needing to post everything to you lovely people so that won’t be a problem and it is pretty cool to have to do that.

Thank you all for backing, but before you head off I have a recommendation for you. I wouldn’t normally do one this early but it’s not got long left and I didn’t want you to miss out.

I also want to let you know why we do recommendations. Getting exposure for your Kickstarter is really quite difficult; there are a lot of Kickstarters (and comics in general) out there it’s difficult to stand out. Doing recommendations is a great way to let people know that there are other great projects they might be interested in and is something creators do to help each other out. So, with that in mind:

The Complete Frank At Home On The Farm Oversized Hardcover

Written by Jordan Thomas, who also wrote Mugshots that we recommended last year, The Complete Frank At Home On The Farm is a project I’ve (James) personally backed already. Jordan is a great member of the indie comic community and works really hard, and is rather excellent, at what he does and has teamed up with a very talented artist, Clark Blint. There's also just over a day left to back it so go and check it out!

Wraparound Hardcover

Frank At Home On The Farm tells the story of a man returning from war to find his family mysteriously missing from their farm. This sets in motion a series of events that claw and tear at Frank's mind, body, and soul.

Tormented by nightmares of the front line, the mysterious voices that  plague him and disturbed by the townsfolk's lack of knowledge or interest in his family's whereabouts, Frank becomes more and more isolated on the farm as he tries to uncover where his parents have vanished to... all under the watchful eye of the farm's animals.

Set in an early 1920s England that's still recovering from the turmoil of the First World War - Frank At Home On The Farm revels in capturing the small historical details of the period. We also use the setting and time period as a way to ramp up the confusion and feeling of isolation.

The war resulted in decimated families and people relocating around the country - leading to less connected communities and an increased possibility for awful events to be set in motion before anyone could notice.

Combining the isolationist horror of The Shining with the body-horror of David Cronenberg and Jacob's Ladder, the story twists and turns right the way to the end. With every flip of the page you will find yourself pulled further into Frank's nightmare - imagine Guillermo Del Toro directing an adaption of Animal Farm.

Stretch Goals!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 06:33:41 AM

Hi everyone,

We've had a fantastic couple of days and are well past our funding goal, so thank you all so much for backing!

So, onto the Stretch Goals. At the time of writing the first one has already been unlocked so that's great news! We're just announcing the first three, we have more planned but I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. The initial Goals will be to unlock postcards of the covers - the physical reward will only be sent to backers of physical reward tiers but we will also do digital postcards for everyone. 

Thanks again for backing and we'll be in touch again in a few days!

Here are the goals:

Funded in Under 12 Hours! And “Project We Love”
over 2 years ago – Wed, Sep 15, 2021 at 12:35:52 PM

What an amazing start to the Kickstarter!

Thank you all so much for backing us, we’ve been blown away by the amount of support we’ve received! This is by far our best start to a campaign we’ve ever had!

On top of that we are now a “Project We Love”, which is something Kickstarter gives to their favourite projects and means that we’re more likely to appear in people’s searches and will hopefully result in more backers!

Reaching our goal also means that it’s time for Stretch Goals but we weren’t prepared to need them so quickly but we'll update again tomorrow letting you know what they are.

Thanks again for backing!
