You can preorder a copy of the Stiffs/The Pride Preview!

Hey all,

So, on February 26th, 2011 Stiffs and The Pride will be previewed exclusively at the Cardiff International Comics Expo. For many of you, and in particular for Stiffs, this will be the first physical release of a comic project you’ve been showing your support for for a good few years.

Stiffs and The Pride will be released together as part of a preview book, showing off the talents of the creators involved. Inside will be a twelve page preview for Stiffs, and a short vignette story from The Pride universe. The book will be very limited edition, and will give one of the biggest looks into these projects seen to date.

Now, we fully understand that many of you may not be able to make it to the con, but that you would really like to get your hands on this limited release of projects you’ve been supporting for so long.

As such, we are taking pre-orders for the book ahead of schedule, at a special pre-order discount to say thanks for all the support.

For just £2 you can pre-order a copy of the Stiffs/The Pride preview, signed by all the creators, so that you can still get a copy even if you can’t make it to the Cardiff International Comics Expo.
As mentioned, this preview release is very limited edition, and will provide the most in depth look at Stiffs and The Pride yet released!

We value your continued support and hope that all of you who are unable to make the show will pre-order your copy, so we can make sure everyone is finally getting something to show for that support.

Payments can be made to Joe Glass’ PayPal account at mojojoseph@hotmail.co.uk. Please include your address with the payment so we can get the books out to you soon as they are ready.

This is a limited time offer, as we’ll need to collate payments for printing copies, so we’ll take payments all the way up to January 31st, 2011.

Thanks for your support!

Stiffs!

So, I don't wanna go into too many details as yet as obviously, as mentioned before, the process of creating a new comic and getting it ready for pitch can be so tumultuous. But things seem so near completion now I had to say something (add that to the fact I really needed to update this blog).

So the comic that I'm working on with the ever fantastic writers Drew Davies and PJ Montgomery, with art by the permanently genius Gavin Mitchell and Adam Cadwell, has had yet another name change. It's only fair, and wise. It's out of respect to a far more amazing and established writer having already used a near identical title for a series at the beginning of the decade.

So anyway, now the comic is called STIFFS (a pun on the working stiffs and walking 'stiffs' that populate the story) and the pitch package is complete. We're waiting on a little something I cannot go into, and we have to print it out, and then we're sending it off to our publisher of choice, who will hopefully LOVE IT! ...everything's crossed now.

Anyway, for anyone who actually reads this blog, here's a look at a fantastic painted cover design by the surely-soon-to-be-huge Gavin Mitchell.

Always stunned when I see that.

Anyway, you can see more of Gav's work on his own blog, or on the recently updated Facebook page (which technically also let's you roughly follow the tumultuous journey this project has been on).
