Hi everyone!
You continue to amaze us with your support as the campaign has swelled to over $60k raised from over 900 backers! AMAZING! Let's get right into today's update and see what's new!
$45k Stretch Goal UNLOCKED - Foil Design
The slipcase design will now feature an added foil element, providing a nice eye-catching spark! Stay tuned for a look at this a bit later on during the campaign!
$60k Stretch Goal UNLOCKED - UV Coating Added to Covers
Our $60k stretch goal stands revealed as we'll be adding a UV coating to the covers of all the graphic novels that adds a special shine effect in certain lighting conditions!
You can take a peek at this effect in the mock image above, which is intended for illustrative purposes only. It's hard to illustrate exactly how this will look without the printed book in front of you, but we promise, it's very cool!
NEW: $75k Stretch Goal Revealed - New Story Added to WAR III!
This is a big one!
When we hit $75k, we will add a TWENTY-PAGE story "We the Heroes" to the WAR III graphic novel.
This edition will be the complete version of the story, featuring the original version published in Fierro magazine in the 1980s PLUS extra erotic scenes added by Gimenez for another publication in Spain in the early 2000s. This story will also be fully colored!

Crowdfunding Community Spotlight
Check out these other Kickstarter campaigns running now from members of the comics community and lend them your support!
Bang: The Ballad of the Tiger Volume 3
Bang, by our friend Josh Greathouse, follows a young woman thrown out into the harsh world after being labeled as a rebel by the new government. She is joined on her adventure by Eddie, a scared, small child with hidden powers, and Yasemine the Blade, a deadly sword fighter full of secrets. This is a fantasy story, but at its heart, it is about leaving home and learning to deal with changes in your life.
TIME SENSITIVE #1: Sci-Fi Comic by an Emmy-Winning Writer
From our friend and Emmy-winning game writer Joshua Rubin (Assassin’s Creed 2, Telltale’s Walking Dead, Destiny), comes Time Sensitive — a mind-bending new time travel comic book. Featuring jaw-dropping art by Jorge Coelho (Marvel, Image, BOOM!), what begins as a paranoid mystery spirals into a heart-wrenching, high-concept thriller about memory, identity, and time itself.
Daegard: Made from Sin #1 - A New Superhero Is Born
A mercenary who would be King. Daegard and Tcha, his gargoyle companion, travel through fantastic worlds seeking his crown and revenge!
Feedback Wanted - Variant Slipcase Idea
We want to hear from you!
As suggested by one of our backers, we're exploring whether we can create a second slipcase design that would house the variant covers for all four graphic novels.
If this variant slipcase was to be produced and made available as a bundle with the regular edition, would you consider upgrading your pledge and getting both slipcases?
Please let us know in the comments below!
That's all for now, we'll be back in touch in a couple of days!
Take care,
The Alien Books Team
