Hey folks! I thought it was rather imperative that I post this information as soon as I could, since the outcome of the event is ultimately controlled by you!
Angry Viking Press is holding a kickstarter event to raise funds to publish some seriously kick-ass titles and broaden our distribution. There are a lot of great artists involved in this, and there are a lot of wicked incentives as well.
Angry Viking Press is who I will be using to publish the "Caterwaul" series and the one-shot "Penance" graphic novel. And after looking through my trusty ol' filing cabinets, I realized I could also put out something that folks have long been clamoring for: The full collection of Skunkworks comics.
I've got 150 pages worth of Skunkworks comics that can be gathered into one big book. I could also add the complete Ups & Downs comics (50 pages worth) if we can reach the $20K mark.
The Skunkworks book will collect all the comics from "Caught In The Camera's Eye" to "The End" (1995-2012), as well as several unpublished comics. I've been wanting to put all of these together for quite some time now, and it's fairly evident from recent responses to "The End" that many of you would like to see such a collection. So, if you can spare a dollar or ten, help us out. We can't get these books out there if we can't pony up the funds to get off the starting line!

And who knows? Maybe something cool like a Penance sculpture or even some Skunkworks figurines might be possible too (it's been many years since I last did any sculpting, but I can still create the master molds if need be).
I'm donating some money for this thing, and I'm one of the artists who are going to be involved with AVP. Check out the link above for details about the other artists and titles.
Thanks for your dedication to this genre and the many artists involved in it. Remember, if it wasn't for the fans of this material, there wouldn't be any material for the fans!
