Fulfillment almost finished! + DREAMQUEST 2 is live
7 months ago
– Tue, Apr 30, 2024 at 08:39:30 AM
Hey, how was your weekend?
Me, I spent a great few days in Chicago at C2E2 meeting some of you.
If you stopped by the table to say hi, thanks for helping us put a face to your name. It was a genuine pleasure meeting so many of you in person (who knew you all lived in Chicago?)
Anyway, I've always said that the best part of fulfillment is seeing the same names pop up over and over again, and this time is no exception.
Speaking of...!
I was able to get most of the packages shipped out before leaving for the con. Now that I'm back, I'm diving back in and hope to have them completed by the end of the week.
If you filled out your survey, that is!
Missed the Survey?
If you can't find your survey, click the link below and enter your Kickstarter email address to receive another link:
I've gotten at least one report of a package mangled in the mail.
Thankfully, the book arrived undamaged--we pack 'em well!--but if for some reason there is any issue with your order (damage, wrong item, etc.), please don't hesitate to drop us a line. You're the lifeblood of this publishing operation, and we want you to be happy.
And speaking of publishing...
DREAMQUEST 2 is Live!
At long last, the sequel to DREAMQUEST is here, and we wanted to give you a sneak peek at our covers:
The virgin variants are extremely limited, and both the standard cover and the Flops variant come in NSFW versions--for those of you who wish Barbara Crampton still appeared in Lovecraft adaptations...
Please click the cover image above or the link below to head to our campaign page:
OK, back to packing up comics. Thanks again for the support!

Shipping has begun! + DREAMQUEST 2 Pre-Launch
7 months ago
– Wed, Apr 17, 2024 at 10:51:24 AM
Quick note to let you know that shipping is underway!
I'm trying to get these out as quickly as I can, so be on the lookout for your packages over the next week or so... and if you haven't already, PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR BACKERKIT SURVEYS!
Missed the Survey?
If you can't find your survey, click the link below and enter your Kickstarter email address to receive another link:
DREAMQUEST was always conceived to stand alone, but so many of you asked what happens next, we cooked up a corker of a follow-up, and we can't wait to share it with you.
Launch day will be here before you know it. Stay tuned for more details!
OK, back to packing up comics. Thanks again for the support!

Books have arrived! + Backerkit Survey Smoke Test is live...
8 months ago
– Wed, Apr 03, 2024 at 08:09:43 AM
Hey, look what showed up late yesterday:
The books came out FANTASTIC, so, once again, thanks for making them a reality!
Now for the fun part:
Backerkit Survey Smoke Test is live...
What does this mean?
It means about 5% of you have already received your surveys.
Backerkit does the "Smoke Test" to make sure I haven't screwed something up, so if all goes well for the first 24 hours with no major issues, I'll send out surveys to everyone else.
(And yes, I realize I promised this for last week, but I always forget how complicated/time-consuming Backerkit surveys can be...)
Digital-Only Backers Can Upgrade
I also worked with Backerkit this time to make sure digital backers can upgrade to a print copy.
If anyone has a question about how to do this, please don't hesitate to shoot me a message!
That's all for now. Keep an eye out for your Backerkit survey. Meanwhile, I'll be prepping books for shipping...
Thanks again, Clay
Metal Covers are Here! + Surveys Next Week
8 months ago
– Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 08:49:05 AM
Look what showed up at the Dream Factory last week:
METAL COVERS!
The metal covers came out beautifully.
Still waiting on the bulk of the run to show up at the office (estimatedto arriveend of March/early April), but it was a real kick to see this issue in print.
I'm currently Spring Break-ing with the family, but expect surveys to go out next week when I return. And hopefully by the time everyone gets their responses in, I'll have books ready to ship...
Thanks again for the support!

Digital rewards have been delivered! + Surveys Coming Soon
9 months ago
– Tue, Feb 20, 2024 at 11:10:56 AM
Hello from the other side!
Digital rewards* were delivered over the past couple of days, so if you missed the email, here's how you can claim them:
head to kickstarter.com
click on your profile picture
select “messages”
look for a message from Fried Comics
click the link(s) inside to download your rewards
We do it this way for a simple reason: your rewards will always be there, on the site where you bought them--even if you accidentally delete the notification.
Also, we know not everyone downloads their rewards right away, so we always set the link to "Never Expire".
*The only outstanding reward is ROVERS:CONGREGATION, which unfortunately has been held up at the coloring stage due to a death in the family. Mick has been assured that everything is back on track, and we will have this book sent out to anyone who ordered it ASAP.
Did I Miss Surveys?
Meanwhile, no you did not miss surveys! They will be coming soon, as will a special offer for our digital backers to upgrade to print.
Stay tuned!
FRIENDS OF FRIED
Before I go, Will Allred's Crossover Division is back on Kickstarter for its fifth issue, and if you haven't checked out the new campaign, I highly recommend you head on over before it ends in just 3 days...
Here's the pitch:
When stories come to life and threaten to fracture reality beyond repair, only an English professor and a research librarian have the knowledge and smarts to save us all. Join Hank Wallace and Hector Ramirez in Crossover Division #5as the growing evil of Mr. Hyde stalks a transformed London. Can Hank and Hector end the crossover before Mr. Hyde ends them?
In addition to variant covers by our pals Ryan Kroboth and Matta Sorcier, the campaign also features this gem from BBoF #3 variant artists Steve Bryant and Jason Millet:
With three days left, they are thisclose to funding, so if you haven't already, head on over and help put Will & Co. over the top!
That's all from me this go 'round. Happy reading, and if you have any questions or anything is screwed up with your order, please let me know and I'll put it right.
