An Update and New Art

Hello and welcome to this new update.
We're up and running again after the festive break, and our artists are sending in more and more completed pages. As an example, here's another cracker from Mike and Gary:
We have more pages to show you over the coming weeks, so keep an eye on your inboxes!
That's all for today, other then to say thank you all for your patience. We know we're way behind schedule, but the combination of our artists' schedules conflicting with their work for TV and film and the likes of Marvel and 2000 AD and our high production values means issue #1 is taking longer than anticipated. Needless to say, we really appreciate your patience, and we look forward to fulfilling the Kickstarter as soon as we possibly can.
Very best,
Paul
Apologies

Please accept our apologies for the delay in fulfilling First Men on Mars #1. We are still in the production stage. Due to the number of different artists and colourists working on the book we are at the mercy of conflicting schedules and our artists’ commitments (Mike Collins, for instance, is presently doing storyboards for the BBC and other premium shows, and Ian Richardson is a regular 2000AD contributor). We have also had to accommodate unforeseen personal and family matters that has added to the delay. Whilst this is not ideal for FMoM’s schedule, we are still fortunate to have these talented creators on board, and we know the final result will be well worth the wait.
Thank you for supporting the book and we look forward to fulfilling it as soon as possible.

Hello and welcome to our latest update.
As I reported in our last update, artwork is arriving at such a rate now that we have a backlog of inked pages to show you; I look forward to posting them both here and on our social media channels...
...Starting today! Here is page 40, as brought to you by the incredible Ian Richardson:
That's it for today, but you can look forward to more new pages very soon.
Very best,

Yesterday we brought you a page penciled by Mike Collins and freshly-inked by Gary Erskine. We're thrilled to show you another one today.
We're loving this team-up between Mike and Gary, and we can't wait to show you more. Check back tomorrow for another of their incredible pages.
Very best,
Paul

Hello and welcome to this latest update on First Men on Mars #1.
Finished pages continue to land in our inbox and we are so, so happy with the results. The collaborative efforts of the First Men on Mars team really is producing some incredible sequential art.
Here's just one example, as produced by those storied veterans Mike Collins and Gary Erskine:
This is just one example, and we look forward to sharing the rest with you. Check back tomorrow for another amazing page.
Very best,
Paul
