Kaor!
200 doughty warriors have pledged their metal to Mars! Queen of Mars #1-3 each had a print, so let's do one for #4 as well! (And a sticker!)
Print on the left, sticker on the right, not to scale.
To get a physical copy of the sticker and print, look for the BONUS Rewards add-on for $1. All backers receiving the Deluxe PDF will have digital versions included with their PDF.
That extra $1 could also get you a 32 page sketchbook...
With a little over $100 to go to unlock the last four pages, we're only a $1000 past that to get the book in print!
As always, thanks for you support and interest in Queen of Mars! Mick

Written and lettered by Clay Adams (PRODIGAL SON, DREAMQUEST, RED XMAS) with art by Kyle Roberts (ELECTRIC YOUTH, PARENT/GUARDIAN) and Mick Beyers (WHITE ASH, DREAMQUEST, ROYO CHEEKS), colors by Ilaria Chiocca (RED XMAS, BLOOD OF THE GRUNCH) and Julio Rojas (NIGHTMARE THEATER, DREAMQUEST) and edits by James Powell and Frank Pittarese.
Volume 1 is:
140pages of sword & sorcery
the complete first arc, plus a brand new short story and full cover gallery
loosely inspired by the works of Robert E. Howard, Bram Stoker and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
BBoF is a great book, one that I've had a lot of fun drawing, and I'm excited for Vol. 1 to hit Kickstarter so that we can get started on the next arc! Available in hardcover, softcover, and back issues if you see an older cover you just have to have.

Kaor!
We've crossed the $8K mark and added four more pages to the sketchbook, with plenty of time left in the campaign. Looking a lot like this thing is going to see print!
Ink & Insight
I had a chat with Jameson Rohrer of Comix 4 All this afternoon, talking about Mars, Kickstarter, and making comics in general. It's about a 45 minute watch if you're interested and can be seen on YouTube.
Thanks for your support on the book! -Mick
This Week on Barsoom:

Kaor!
Since last we updated, four pages have been added the sketchbook portion of the Deluxe PDF, (bringing it up to 24 pages) and now we're close to adding pages 25-28!
The print edition will be digest sized, 5.5"x8.5". I'm going to make it a $1 add-on for a physical version, but everyone receiving a Deluxe PDF will get the whole book as a PDF.
I know not everyone is so into the bonus/trinkets items so I don't want to clutter up your packages.
Gung Ho Geeks!
Cam Wooten and Costin Becheanu were kind enough to review and talk about the Queen of Mars Vol. 1 hardcover, and you can listen to their chat on YouTube or Spotify as you prefer.
The episode is available now to listen too and clocks in at 49 minutes.
And Tomorrow? Comix 4 All!
Originally scheduled for last Saturday, but now happening Thursday the 26th as 2PM CST (UTC-6) I'll be talking with Jameson Rohrer on his show Ink & Insight.
Live tomorrow, it will be archived and available afterwards to enjoy when you will. We'll be talking comics generally and how I ended up here, and Queen of Mars specifically, why I'm doing this book in particular.
I hope you listen/watch/enjoy both shows, and let me know your thoughts!
