I’m getting ready to submit a file to the printer so they can begin prepping the first 134 pages for the presses. When I do, only eight SHATTERED TOMORROWS pages remain to be finished, the Julie-Su Data File and one page of content after the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Oh, yes, at that point I will be updating the SPECIAL THANKS page one last time. 164 pages of total content will be submitted to the printer.
Because everyone who’s ordering a copy right is hoping and asking if they’re among the 200, I can state by tomorrow morning chances are we cross the 150 mark. If I do sell the full 200 before the book goes to the presses, great. If I don’t, I will still be excited and thankful because of everyone who ordered. THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES will be a reality, going out to 34 different states across the USA (I’m still holding out for at least one order from every state, including Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and Puerto Rico) as well as 6 countries outside the US.
Considering this has yet to be distributed by Diamond or any other distributor or listed on Amazon, and the print runs of most editions of Marvel Masterworks runs about 650 copies or thereabouts (the latest Daredevil Marvel Masterwork hardcover edition lists a print run of 656 copies), I’m quite confident once people see the finished book that demand will increase. I wanted this to be as special as I could make it, and I’ve been told I’ve exceeded expectations. I look forward to the reaction upon its release. Thanks, everyone!
Thanks for the update! Everything you’ve shown of the book looks fantastic, I’m so glad my pre-order’s in and that I’ve gotten to support this!
Ken, it’s off topic, but you intent to make a future comic with focus in the furry comunity ? Maybe Archie’s Sonic was big influence in significant part of furries. For me, it’s not a bad idea, considering that you was important of this part of US comics history.
