We are thrilled to announce all the pages for the first issue of First Men on Mars #1 have now been drawn and coloured and are currently in the process of being lettered. We will, of course, keep you updated on these next stages as they progress. Needless to say, we remain eternally grateful for your continued patience.

Hello, FMoM backers
Apologies for the lack of updates. We know it has been a while since our last post and we appreciate how frustrating this must be for you. There were some unexpected production issues we had to address as well as my relocation to Berlin and health issues to deal with last year but can assure you that the pages look great and we are working on getting everything together including the additional collectable items (the Map of Mars, postcards, commissions, and the Lost Treasures artbook) ready for allocating to each backer. The complexity of the project has certainly proven more challenging than expected and we have learnt a lot during this protracted schedule. Thank you for your patience.
There will be a final pass on lettering, and test prints done of the postcards and maps before we finally ship. We hope you enjoy the book and additional items when they arrive and look forward to your feedback.

We are currently doing a final pass on all aspects of production for the book including proof reading to ensure that everything is perfect for our backers. Apologies for the continued delay but we didn’t expect or appreciate how difficult it was going to be coordinating all these talented artists and colourists and their schedules. We look forward to getting the finished book into your hands very soon.
Thank you for your continued patience.
