Check out the successful Kickstarter campaign. I raised $10,000 from over 200 backers to make The Last Abraxan a reality. Beyond the full-color, 32-page newsprint comic book, there were plenty of cool rewards and stretch goals exclusive to Kickstarter backers.
For example, there was a sticker in the style of old Marvel Superhero stickers that came in packs with gum, a holographic foil logo sticker reminiscent of the ones you could get in gumball machines, and one based on the Syzygy Stone—a prominent artifact in the story. There was also a poster/flyer that featured Marvel Handbook-style character entries on one side and a fold-out promo poster on the other.
For process fans, I had versions of the comic that featured only the pencils, inks, and color guides. There was also The Last Abraxan Archive, a 250-page behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this comic. It included not just pencils, inks, and colors, but also inspirations, layouts, breakdowns, and finished color-separated halftones, as well as original plot pages, early character designs, test art, and more.
Of course, I had variant covers! Including an homage to Marvel's original Star Wars #1 from 1977. There was one that looked like an old Whitman 3-pack variant, complete with the diamond price tag and “Mittman logo.” Another simulated a printer's error where the color printing plates got swapped, creating unusual color effects. Lastly, there was a virgin variant featuring the cover art with no text or logos.
There’s also a hand-made, life-size Syzygy Stone prop replica, and you can even get your name printed in a letter or ad.
Most of these rewards were available as separate reward tiers and also as add-ons, so you could bundle any items you like. For stretch goals, there were a variety of stickers, posters, and cover variants. Many of these items are available at my store.
I'd like to thank all the backers for their support.
