KLC in 2023! + Your January STEGWORLD UPDATE!
The Past and Future of KLC PRESS, Including BRAND-NEW VANISH COVER DROPS!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, CHAIN GANG!
It has been an insane 365 days for all of us here at KLC Press, and it’s only the beginning! There is so much good stuff coming your way this year, and we’re here to lay out the roadmap… Starting with the announcement of some BRAND-NEW VANISH #5 COVER DROPS!
But first, let’s take a look back to celebrate the last year of insanity we just had!
In 2022…
The Earth-Shattering Launch of VANISH!
For over a year, you all watched VANISH come together… FROM SCRATCH! From its inspirations to its final touches, the Chain Gang was engaged in the process of this very special series’ creation!
And in 2022 we were absolutely thrilled to finally be able to deliver the finished product to you all! Your support for the series has meant the world, and based on all of your reactions… The wait was worth it!
RYAN STEGMAN Began His Own EDU-SERIES!
I think we all knew that RYAN STEGMAN would eventually have to teach a class on being the very best at everything he attempts.
For now, he’s only sharing his comic book artistry tips… But you can get your hands on them all through our 2022 debut edu-series STEGMAN SPEAKS! This was one of our most demanded features at the launch of this Substack: To be able to submit any and all art questions to the man himself and have them answered like some sort of prayer!
We hope you have all enjoyed the series so far, and that it has enriched your love and devotion to making and enjoying comics! There will be much more in the year to come!
The Debut of STEGWORLD!
Speaking of Stegman, this last year also saw the launch of STEGWORLD, Ryan’s proprietary dream factory!
If you haven’t experienced it yet, STEGWORLD is one of the coolest shops you’ll find online, featuring some of the most eye-popping comic art of all-time! It’s also the home of MANY exclusives and exciting offers for our wonderful KLC Press subscribers…
But more on that in a moment.
The Announcements of BRAND-NEW PROJECTS!
Perhaps most the most pertinent events of the last year were the announcements of several ALL-NEW SERIES from the KLC bullpen, as well as where VANISH, our flagship title, would be heading!
But to engage in all of this excitement fully, let’s look ahead in anticipation of the year to come, shall we?
In 2023…
VANISH RETURNS In March With ISSUE #5 To Kick Off ARC 2!
THE LEGEND RETURNS!
That’s right folks, VANISH will be back for more in March, so get yourselves prepared! A good place to start would be checking out the hype-building solicitation for the issue below!
VANISH #5
IMAGE COMICS
RELEASE DATE: 3/22/2023
(W) Cates, Donny (A) Stegman, Ryan (CA) Stegman, Ryan
NEW STORY ARC
Oliver Harrison sounds more like a cursed man than the chosen one: psych wards, confrontations with the authorities, reality shifts, hexes, hallucinations, and bloody crime scenes. At least he has his lovely Elynor to come home to, right? ...RIGHT?! Join us as the next epic VANISH arc begins right here!
FOC DATE: 2/27/2023
Pre-orders for the issue are available NOW, direct from the source… Including options that are SIGNED BY RYAN STEGMAN! Yes, that Ryan Stegman! But that’s not all!
While any sane person would want to own that standard cover by Ryan Stegman, you can ALSO get your hands on variant covers by DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON and SKOTTIE YOUNG!
Check them out below, and pre-order as many of these beauties as you like simply by clicking on them! Or just click HERE! And, Paid Subscribers, don’t forget your special password/discount code for the STEGWORLD SHOP, which you can find at the bottom of this post!
MORE THE SCHLUB THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT… PROCESS REVEALS, RELEASE DATES, AND MORE!
Just as with VANISH before, the Chain Gang has recently begun to watch the process of yet another incredible comic series coming together… Namely THE SCHLUB!
So far we have revealed the amazing team behind the book, as well as first looks at artwork and scripts (all of which can be found HERE!)… But all of that is just the tip of the iceberg!
We hope you’ve loved what you’ve seen so far because there is so much more to come, including not only our trademark looks behind the scenes, but also details on when and how you can add this baby to your ever-growing KLC Press collection!
Speaking of which…
AND FINALLY… “PROJECT 8”!
Perhaps we’re biased, as this post is currently being written by your local Supple Boiz, or perhaps this last project is just the most exciting KLC Press event of them all!
Announced mere days ago, 2023 will see the release of the mysterious project that we have taken to giving the codename… “PROJECT 8”!
We still can’t tell you much other than that it has one of the most incredible teams in comics with or without the Supples (I mean, can you see the graphic above? SHEESH!), and that it has been in the works for literal YEARS at this point.
We’re all hard at work to bring you something very very special. We will have HUGE announcements about the project extremely soon and we have no doubt that when it finally drops later in the year of our lord 2023… It’ll be one for the ages.
Plus… KLC COMMUNITY HANGOUTS and MORE!
And, of course, we could never forget the wonderful KLC Press community, A.K.A. the CHAIN GANG!
We will be doing many more streams in the coming year to hang out with all of you and get your feedback, as well as more mind-blowing STEGMAN ART RAFFLES!
Stay tuned for all this and more, as we continue to do our best to deliver you the coolest comics content on the internet!
