The Evil Inc Kickstarter campaign has begun! I’m really excited to announce the launch of the ninth Evil Inc graphic novel! If you already know the drill, head over to the Kickstarter page and check out the rewards. There are a couple of Early Bird rewards that offer free shipping to US addresses and reduced shipping prices worldwide — but those are limited, so act fast!
If you haven’t seen an Evil Inc graphic novels, you owe it to yourself to check them out. They’re not the usual comic-strip collections. Instead, I take the individual panels from the daily strip and I lay out graphic-novel pages. I add some panels that you haven’t seen before, and the result is it continuously narrative graphic novel that’s a completely new reading experience — and to be honest with you, a lot of fun
Evil Inc Kickstarter

Thank you in advance for your pledge — and for your help in spreading the word on social media!
What’s in store
Artistically, this volume represents a period of time when I think I was starting to hit my stride as an illustrator. I’m really proud of the visual appeal of these pages.
And the stories? The book is peppered with short standalone story arcs — like these moments between Captain Heroic and his son…
…and stories about Cap and Miss Match when they were a young couple…
Plus… longer storylines with driving plots like the heist of the Ruby of Ragnoor
When the mystical Ruby winds up in Miss Match’s hands, a mis-worded wish has unintended results!
And, throughout the 112-page book, my dumb sense of humor.
