We've got just 3 DAYS LEFT on the ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter, y'all! Now's the time to back to get yourself a comic and some exclusive prints, before it's too late!

Can we reach $40K before the campaign ends, I wonder? 🤔

Nothing concrete for now

If you want the book as soon as possible, the safest bet is to pledge to the Kickstarter

Gentle reminder that we got the legendary PATRICK SPAZIANTE to do an exclusive poster print for my ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter, and you can only obtain it by pledging to the campaign, before it ends in 8 DAYS.
