Hey Guys Jason Canty of Angry Viking Press here!
I tried sending this before but seems yahoo ate it. XD Soo lets see
if I can retype this from memory.
So anyway yes Jim's Penance and Caterwaul Inc are coming to Angry Viking Press, but also as a special event for the fans Jim will let me print all the skunkworks stories in a 150 page Trade Paper back. However the problem is TPB's and Paper its self are very expensive, so we're going to fund it with Kickstarter. And if we break goal levels from your support we'll be able to add more pages.
SO currently the book will be 150 pages at $18 (its VERY expensive to print 150 pages in limited run) but if we make a total goal of $20,000
then we can add more pages from other related stories eventually bringing the total up to a full 200 pages all still for your original $18 pledge!
Also we have other possibilities like Jim wrote. So if you see something you like make a pledge, if you don't have a kickstarter account I'll be working on having a paypal option this weekend.
Also due to the way Kickstarter works if theirs more then one thing you like unfortunately you can only bid on one item. However you can still increase the price and send me a note telling me that you wanted more then one item.
OR if thats to confusing just send me a note asking for special Pledge bundle to be made and I'll see if I can make it. ;)
Anyway if you have any questions note me here, at DA, or FA.
ANd lets get this done! If 2400 fans can help Twokinds make $200k, hopefully all of Jim's fans can help Him and AVP get you his books and maybe some toys.

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!
