An Update on Our Progress
9 days ago – Wed, Apr 17, 2024 at 03:44:05 AM

Hello and welcome to this latest update.

Please accept my apologies. I'm acutely aware that we're now running late. We're still waiting for the last few pages to be drawn. Those pages which have been drawn are in the process of being coloured and lettered as we speak. 

That is the state of play at the moment. Without sharing the pages which have been completed more recently (which many of you, understandably, would prefer not to be shown due to spoilers), that's pretty much all I have for you right now. I will, of course, bring you more news as and when the remaining pages are completed. All that remains is to thank you for your ongoing patience.

Very best wishes,

Paul   

More Preview Pages: Yay or Nay?
about 2 months ago – Mon, Feb 26, 2024 at 06:56:12 AM

Hello one and all. I hope this update finds you all in good health and high spirits.

Today I don't have an update for you so much as a question. Last week one of our backers made a very valid point regarding the recent preview pages we've been posting. He's concerned that we're possibly showing you too manypages and, in doing so, spoiling the anticipation and reading experience when the book is delivered.

So, what do you think? Do you want to see the remaining pages as they're sent in by the artists? Or would you prefer to see some of the other artwork we're working on such as future covers and spot illustrations?

Let us know! 

Feast Your Eyes!

Hello and welcome to this latest update on First Men on Mars #1.

As I detailed last week, our artists are now turning in new, inked pages on an almost daily basis. That being the case, it's an absolute pleasure to bring you another new page from Ian Richardson:

That's all for today, but we'll be back later in the week with more incredible artwork. Until then...

...Stay safe.

Hello, and welcome to our latest update!

Today, we're absolutely thrilled to bring you yet another incredible page from Ian:

Looks like someone's in a bit of a pickle, doesn't it...? 

That's it for today, but we have more artwork to show you in the coming days!

Very best wishes,

Paul

Another Fabulous Page from Gary!

Hello, and welcome to another update on First Men on Mars #1!

As you know, our artists are beavering away on their pages as we speak, and Gary continues to work wonders. By way of example, here's page 13, as drawn and inked by the man himself:

 Beautiful work, we're sure you'll agree.

That's all for today, but we'll bring you more new artwork over the coming days. 

Very best,

Paul
