A Shout Out to War of the Worlds: Thunder Child

Hello and welcome to this latest update.
Given that we at E.M.PRESS are rather fond of Victoriana and Martians, it will come as no surprise that we love H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. Be it the book, Jeff Wayne's musical adaptation, tabletop games and, yes, even the recent BBC series, we're all over anything related to the world's most famous Martian invasion.
We are, therefore, equally enamored with Mad Robot Comics' War of the Worlds: Thunder Child. Whilst we missed the first Kickstarter, we were fortunate enough to acquire a copy at the recent London Film and Comicon. And jolly good it is too!
This latest Kickstarter is seeking funds to bring issue #2 to print, It also offers new readers an opportunity to buy issues #1 and #2, each of which sports some spiffing alternative covers!
War of the Worlds: ThunderChild ends Tuesday, October 3 2023 at 7:00 PM BST. Make your pledges now to help it reach its funding goal and unlock its stretch goals, including this superb print by Warwick Fraser-Coombe:

Hello and welcome to our latest update.
Yesterday we brought you the most excellent news that pages of Paul McCaffrey's artwork from First Men on Mars #1 are available to purchase. Today we're thrilled to reveal you can also get your hands on the latest masterpieces from Ian Richardson!
Drawn and inked by the incredible Ian Richardson, these two beauties are now available on our Backerkit page.
We'll also be making more pages available as and when they are completed by Ian. In the interim, why not check out the Backerkit page for more original First Men on Mars artwork, including pages by Paul McCaffrey and Mike Collins?
That's all for today, but we'll be back soon with another update. In the interim, all of us here at E.M.PRESS thank you once again for your support and enthusiasm for First Men on Mars; it really does a mean a lot to us all.
Very best,
Paul

Yes, I know it's becoming a relentless tide of updates showing off new artwork for First Men on Mars #1, but there are worse problems to have, right?
Today's new page is brought to you by Ian. As you'd expect, it's any mini Martian masterpiece!
That's all for today, but you can look forward to more black and white art tomorrow. Better still, it won't be long until we can show you Yel Zamor and John-Paul Bove's coloured pages...!
...Until then, stay safe.
Very best,
Paul
Time for Another Update

Hello and welcome to this, the latest update on First Men on Mars #1...
...And it's all good news. More and more inked pages are landing in our inbox and being forwarded to Yel and John-Paul for colouring. We wish we could share them with you all at once, but we wouldn't want to spoil you. Suffice to say, my inbox is currently buried under a veritable avalanche of amazing artwork; it's a good problem to have.
Whilst I wouldn't want to spoil you by sharing all these pages with you in one go, I'm thrilled to bring you today's new page:
As ever, Paul has done an incredible job on this page. If you like this, just wait until you see the rest...
That's all for today. We look forward to bringing you more new artwork tomorrow.
Very best,
Paul
