SURVEYS ARE GOING OUT THIS WEEK!
We continue at a brisk pace! We've heard from our printer that all the interiors of this book have been printed. Now it is time for all the covers and the slipcases to be made, then binding, then shipping to us!
In the meantime, please fill out your surveys that we will be sending by the end of the week. Today, we are sending out the "smoke test" survey from Backerkit, testing it to make sure everything is set right. Once we clear that hurdle, we'll be sending out the surveys wide.

Hello fellow gumshoes! We have received all the approvals we need to take this project to the next step! We have now sent the final files off to the printer! Now we have to wait for them to send us proofs before we can officially send these books to press.
In the coming weeks, we will be emailing you a Backerkit survey. This is how we collect your shipping information. Due to aggressive filters, Apple ID screens out Backerkit surveys. If your Kickstarter contact uses AppleID private relay, please change it to a regular email address so that the survey can reach you.
We will send out another update to let you know that the surveys have been sent out.
We are in our final days of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN CLASSIC NEWSPAPER COMICS ROUND 2 Kickstarter! Get your pledge in before it is too late! BACK TODAY!

Meanwhile, check out this amazing campaign for PALAMINO we think you might like!
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.
