So, we did it. We're actually going to make First Men on Mars #1 is actually going to happen.
Or, more appropriately, you're going to make it happen. Without your funding, you encouragement and your sharing the Kickstarter with your friends, we'd be nowhere. Thank you all so much.
Now it's up to us. We owe you a comicbook and, by god, are we going to give you a comicbook! We promise First Men on Mars #1 will be the very best 48 pages of steampunk adventure you'll see this year. Or until we release First Men on Mars #2...
We want to get this book in your hands as soon as we can, so we're not waiting to receive the funds from Kickstarter; we'll commission the artwork just as soon as our artists are available. Please be assured we'll share the pages with you as we receive them.
That's all for today. All that remains is for to thank you all once again.
Very best,
Paul
Another Update on Ian's Wraparound Cover

Hello and welcome to this, our latest update.
We may be into the final four days of our Kickstarter for First Men on Mars #1, but we're still hard at work on the campaign!
Today we'd like to show you the latest pencils from Ian Richardson. Ian is currently drawing our wraparound cover and he sent this WIP update to us today.
Whilst this isn't the finished article by any means, it's still gorgeous! We're really looking forward to seeing the next stage; we'll bring it to you as soon as we're able.
That's it for today, but don't forget to keep sharing the Kickstarter with your friends and on your social media platforms; we can't unlock this superb cover without your continued support. Thank you.
Very best,
Paul
We've Reached Our First Stretch Goal!

Hello and welcome to this latest update for First Men on Mars #1.
Today has seen a slew of pledges; so many, in fact, that they've propelled us past the £7,000 mark. In doing so, our first stretch goal has been unlocked! This means the digital edition of First Men on Mars #1 now features this fabulous variant cover by the talented Paul McCaffrey:
As this cover has now been unlocked, it will be added to the lineup of prints included in the Martian Treasury pledge, making that pledge even better value for money!
Here's a handy illustration of the goodies included in the Martian Treasury:
The Martian Treasury pledge is only £100. Moreover, this pledge will offer even greater value for money if and when Ian Richardson's wraparound cover and First Men on Mars: Lost Treasures (with its stunning cover by Tiernen Trevallion) are unlocked!
That's all for today's update, but we'll be back tomorrow with another look at the artistic plunder included in the First Men on Mars: Lost Treasures stretch goal. In the interim, please carry on sharing the Kickstarter with your friends and your followers on social media; every pledge we can attract between now and the end of the campaign will allow us to unlock even more amazing covers!
Very best,
Paul
An Update on Ian's Wraparound Cover

Hello and welcome to this, our latest update.
Today we'd like to share the latest pencils from Ian Richardson. Ian is currently drawing our wraparound cover and he sent this WIP update to us today. This isn't the finished article by any means, but it's still gorgeous!
Whilst still very much an unfinished article, we think Ian's class shines through in these pencils. We can't wait to see the other half of the cover! Please be assured, we'll share it with you just as soon as we can.
That's it for today, but don't forget to keep sharing the Kickstarter with your friends and on your social media platforms. The wraparound cover will be unlocked when / if our funding reaches £9,000 and we can't do that without your continued support. Thank you.
Very best,
Paul
