DAVE STEWART HAS FINISHED CHAPTER 3 COLORS!!

It's Doug again. I thought everyone would like to know that things are continuing to move along with Narco. Dave finished up chapter 3 just a few days ago. As usual, the guy knocked it out of the park. How does one person have that much talent? It seems unfair. :)

THANK YOU!

As always, we want to thank you for your patience and continued support as we work on finishing up the Narco OGN. Graphic novels are always a beast to bring home to the finish line. There's just so many dang pages. Wait! I think that's my fault. 

Sorry.

We really do appreciate everyone's continued support as we finish up the graphic novel. I didn't know what to think about this whole Kickstarter business, but you folks are the best.

Good Boy v2 #1: Out to Pasture

Garrett Gunn, Christina Blanch, Kit Wallis, & Dave Lentz

Set in a world where humans and dogs are equals, Good Boy is a thrill-packed treat for anyone who loves action, dogs, and good stories.

Flint Sparks and his human Jon, both former mercenaries, have settled down in quiet retirement from an industry where the job is supposed to be forever. But, unlike anyone before, they found a way out. However, this new life, filled with peace and joy, is not to be. In the dead of night, some of their former "colleagues", who disagree with their decision to retire, break into their home and murder Jon, leaving Flint alive in the bloody aftermath.

That was their FIRST mistake.

NARCO Inks are done!
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Dec 28, 2021 at 12:37:55 PM

DANIEL HAS FINISHED INKS!!

Doug here again. I wanted everyone to know Daniel has been working his tail off on NARCO pages and just finished inking the last page this week. What can I say? The guy’s a beast! Now that he’s done, we’ll be moving on to the next phase of the project, which will be coloring, followed closely by lettering, and finally, book design. 

We’ll have a better grasp on what all this means as far as getting the book to the printer in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for the next update by the end of next month. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

The NARCO and PLASTIC teams would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. Be merry and be safe.

The Book of Maggor Thoom

James Turner

On the dark and shadowy surface of a living black hole resides one Maggor Thoom, demon. After endless eons of success as the star employee of the Insanity Acquisition Department, he has lost his passion and purpose. Yet he knows all to well that those who do not drink the Antediluvian Kool-Aid are soon fed to the ravenous Maw.

To save himself from annihilation, Mr. Thoom sets off on a desperate journey of self-discovery: he flees The Void and seeks help on a small, blue orb known as Earth.

Usagi Jane and the Skullbunnies

Ben Seto

Usagi Jane and The Skullbunnies is about a girl named Usagi Jane who happened to come across a skull that was partially buried in the ground. Upon uncovering the skull, Usagi Jane discovers that it is a bunny skull. Before returning the skull back to the ground, she was inclined to build a small body for it made of dirt. After placing the skull on to its new dirt body, the bunny suddenly comes back to life…. from that moment on, Usagi Jane and The Skullbunnies form a bond and go on many adventures together where they spend most of their time trying to help others.

FROM OUR HEARTS

Doug here once again. I don't think words can accurately convey how grateful the entire NARCO and PLASTIC teams are for your backing and support. We couldn't bring projects like this to life without you and every single pledge, share, and like. You folks are amazing!

THANK YOU!!


A VIDEO "THANK YOU" FROM DANIEL & DOUG

$22,859... You know that means? STICKERS!!

If you've been following me on the socials, you know I've been pushing incessantly for my possum sticker. Well, you folks made my dreams come true. 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

From the entirety of the NARCO and PLASTIC teams.

We are funded!
about 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 17, 2021 at 11:25:22 AM

We made it! Thank you all for the support. We love making these comics for all of you, so getting a successfully funded campaign is about as good as it gets.

Now, let's have some fun and hit some of these stretch goals! As of this writing, we have a little over 24 hours left (campaign ends at 4:12 PM EST tomorrow). Doug is just dying to get his sticker sets printed, I know everyone wants to add the signature plates into the books, but I'm a printing nerd, so getting the spot-uv added to all the covers is what I'm hoping for most.

With all that being said, we wouldn't be here without y'all, so keep spreading the word and let's try and get all these extras added to your order at no cost to you!

Here's a link to the campaign if you want to share it online or with friends: http://kck.st/2ZwBT4H

Thank you!
