Hi friends! Guess what?
Yes I've been posting little teases on IG all summer but today Dear Readers, you are the first ones to learn about:
RED LIGHT PROPERTIES: UNFINISHED BUSINESS, an oversized slipcase omnibus hardcover collecting the graphic novel plus one hundred pages of never-before-printed RLP comics (and even more) that's coming to Kickstarter on October 1st!
This button will take you to the Kickstarter Prelaunch page, where you can select "Notify Me on Launch" and Kickstarter will email you when the campaign goes live. You'll be able to see all the editions and add-ons on offer then:
(Also, I'm not mad if you share this link around to your favorite people.)
Next spring, after you've got the book in your hands (mid-February), I'll begin producing all new RLP comics that pick up right where UNFINISHED BUSINESS leaves off, serializing them right here on the newsletter you're already subscribed to.
If you're a recent reader and don't know what RLP is:
But the good vibes don't always last, do they? In order to clear a space of lingering spirits, Jude requires heroic doses of psychedelics on the daily to penetrate The Membrane separating the spirit world from ours... leaving him forever straddling his shamanic higher reality and the reptile-brain dystopia of American capitalism.
Which leaves Cecilia holding the bag with like, everything else: finding clients, closing contracts, the emotional labor of holding their family together, and... you see where this is going. Family businesses always suck... but this family business is the stuff of actual supernatural nightmares. In South Florida.
To my OG RLPeeps:
I've also written and designed another 40 pages of epistolary content that threads in/out of the comics (like Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and ties the whole structure tight, adding new loose threads for me to pick up in the new stories next spring.
I've been building towards this moment where I take full creative control of my work for a long time, and it's absolutely brilliant to follow my WILD WHIMS with every physical object, even this first time. It's resulted in the finest edition of comics I've ever produced, inside and out... hopefully the first of many.
I'll be back here later this week with a new Dang Old Man story for you, and then again Oct 1 when the campaign goes live.
Much love and gratitude,
