We're fairly certain you've heard the word today that our next campaign, covering years 1961-1964, has gone live on Kickstarter today! But just in case, we thought we should send you this update tonight, reminding you of the great EARLY BIRD specials we have live right now!
It's because of backers like YOU that we can commit to publishing ALL the Chester Gould Dick Tracy years in these beautiful softcover slipcase editions.
Endings are hard, but noir endings are murder. Cartoonist and award-nominated animator, writer, and director Stephan Franck and his company Dark Planet Comics are finally cracking the case in PALOMINO Volume 6. The ambitious, Ringo Award-Nominated series chronicles the lost culture of Los Angeles’ country music clubs and throws readers into a pulse-pounding, decades-spanning mystery. The series deftly blends hard boiled noir and Western aesthetics to explore Los Angeles' weird and forgotten history with an unforgettable cast of working musicians, TV actors, stuntmen, cops, hustlers, and broken souls.The saga’s stunning swan song is now live on Kickstarter.
A captivating neo-noir crime mystery, PALOMINO begins in 1981 Los Angeles, where readers meet EDDIE LANG, an old-school, hardboiled former Burbank PD detective juggling his 6-nights-a-week gig in the Palomino house band, his P.I. business, and his teenage daughter, Liz--who might even be more hardboiled than he is! Father and daughter share a killer sense of humor and an unbreakable bond, but tragedy looms large over their past. A brand new case that's hitting a little too close to home upends their lives, sending them each down very dangerous paths. Ultimately, the unsolved mystery haunts LIz into adulthood. In 1995, she’s working as a reporter when a routine assignment opens old wounds and Liz embarks on one final odyssey, where every secret will be revealed and all scores settled. To survive the night, Liz must confront the ghosts of her past and, maybe – just maybe – emerge on the other side reborn and free.
We've actually been fulfilled for a bit, but we have 11 stragglers who haven't yet filled out their surveys. We've tried everything, but knock on their doors (which we can't even do, since they haven't filled out their surveys yet). Some detectives we are! If you happen to be one of those backers, please fill out your survey as soon as possible.
But for the rest of you - ALL REWARDS have been fulfilled.
