CARBON & SILICON Kickstarter launches on Tuesday!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, May 22, 2021 at 12:10:25 AM

Hi Everyone!

We hope you're doing well and getting ready for a great weekend! We've been hard at work getting our next project ready to launch and are pulling back the curtain...

PRE-REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR OUR NEXT CAMPAIGN LAUNCHING ON TUESDAY: CARBON & SILICON and SHANGRI-LA!

We are launching a new campaign for not one but TWO jaw-droppingly gorgeous sci-fi graphic novels by one of the most stellar talents today, Mathieu Bablet. His sci-fi epic SHANGRI-LA won the Fauve d'Or at the Angouleme festival in 2017, and he followed that up with the recent (and even more epic) CARBON & SILICON which was chosen by mega-store chain FNAC as the Best Graphic Novel of 2020!

``If Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, and Denis Villeneuve teamed up to make comics, these would be their masterpieces.``

These books are truly incredible (dare we say "life-changing"...?) and we're thrilled to bring both to your shelves as beautiful oversized hardcovers and in limited-edition linen-and-foil slipcase!

Check out the preview page for trailers, sample pages, and -- best of all -- a FREE linen cardstock print for pre-registering your pledge early! And if you back us on Day-1 you'll get SECOND free print, plus all of the bonus prints that will unlock weekly! The earlier you pledge, the more you get for FREE!

This project was hinted at in the pages of VIEWPOINT, but we're excited to present the completed project in a gorgeous oversized gallery edition! If you're familiar with LRNZ's work, you know you can expect a dazzling variety of graphical styles, designs, and storytelling that perfectly exploit the unique abilities of comic book art. Different styles used to capture different mental states, etc. It is really powerful, outstanding stuff.

New Kickstarter launching TOMORROW! BRINDILLE and LOVE: THE MASTIFF!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Dec 15, 2020 at 05:33:38 AM

Hi Everyone!

We've been hard at work on yet another beautiful offering and it is launching on Kickstarter TOMORROW!

We are bringing not one but TWO new graphic novels from the award-winning creative team of FRÉDÉRIC BRRÉMAUD and FEDERICO BERTOLUCCI:

BRINDILLE and LOVE: THE MASTIFF!

A young girl wakes up in the midst of a raging forest fire, with no memory of who she is or how she got there. After being rescued by a nearby village of elf-like creatures, she sets out on a magical journey in search of answers to questions she doesn’t even know how to ask. Along the way, she befriends a talking wolf who takes on the role of guide and guardian on this strange, epic adventure.

Filled with magic, monsters, mystery, and mermaids, this dark fantasy will dazzle readers with its breathtaking beauty and wonder.

Visit the pre-registration page for a FREE cardstock print of the campaign exclusive, limited edition variant cover art for Brindille by Ben Caldwell!

A loyal hunting dog finds himself alone in the wild outback of Australia when his master is struck down by a poisonous snake during an expedition. Now he must make his way through the dangers and obstacles of the magnificent wilderness, relying on instincts that no amount of domestication can fully suppress…

The fifth and newest volume in the world-renowned, award-winning LOVE series of wordless wildlife graphic novels, this beautiful, all-ages series explores genuine natural behavior through the dramatic lens of Disney-esque storytelling, like a nature documentary in illustration.

We're also offering EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION COLLECTORS BOXED SETS of Brremaud and Bertolucci's celebrated LOVE and LITTLE TAILS series! These will not be distributed through retail and will only be produced in quantity determined by this campaign!

CHECK IT OUT HERE AND PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING US OUT ON DAY ONE!
