KLC Press Gets a Little More SUPPLE (CHAIN MAIL #5)
YOUR WEEKLY KLC PRESS NEWSLETTER!
Welcome back to…
Hey folks, it’s the Supple Boiz, Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan here. It’s been a hell of a week here in the KLC Press bullpen, and we’re popping into your inboxes to catch you up on all the goodness. LET’S NOT WASTE ANOTHER MOMENT, WE COULD BE KNEE-DEEP IN THE ACTUAL NEWSLETTER BY NOW—
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN TO VANISH BEGINS!
Oh, yes. After the journey we’ve all been on together throughout the creation of this insane piece of work, we can finally officially say… VANISH #1 hits comic shops THIS New Comic Book Day! The world will finally be able to get their hands on Lord Cates and Supreme Leader Stegman’s wondrous creation… But you don’t have to wait, you know that, right?
If you haven’t read the issue yet, perhaps you’re not yet one of our fantastic paid subscribers. If you jump on board for $5 per month, you can skip the comic store line and read VANISH #1 right NOW! Just visit that post below, Chain Gang. Otherwise, we’ll see you in shops on Wednesday as we all pick up our gorgeous print editions of this momentous issue.
STEGMAN BATHES IN THE SPOTLIGHT!
Haven’t had enough behind-the-scenes info on VANISH just yet? Well good, because that’s a big part of what we’re about here on the Substack. But that’s also what they were about over at AIPT Comics this week, as Mr. Stegman gave a great interview talking about everything from the origin of the series to his collaboration with one Donny Cates. Check it out!
PLUS… A MASSIVE, EXCLUSIVE STEGWORLD DROP!
In the history books, we’re going to look back on our current era as the age of STEGWORLD, and that’s just an objective, observable fact. We’re thrilled to finally have the shop up and running like a dream, and we’re ALSO thrilled to announce… The legendary SPAWN variant for VANISH #1 is available for pre-order now!
For those who haven’t been able to get in on this bad boy through their KLC Press Substack subscription, now’s your chance! Nab one of these suckers (or any of your favorite covers, there are so many) before they’re all gone, you deserve it. After the week you’ve had? Are you kidding me?
THE SUPPLES TAKE OVER THE SUBSTACK, BABY.
YOUR EYES DO NOT DECEIVE YOU! Our resurrection of THE AMAZING FRIENDS PODCAST NETWORK continues, with the long-awaited soft-relaunch of your favorite podcast, SUPPLE BOIZ!
The flagship show of the network, this is the place where we (heartthrobs Ethan & Griffin) open up about our creative endeavors, and the things that we’ve been enjoying/inspired by lately! This is a great jumping-on point for the show, particularly because it features updates on our SECOND MYSTERY COMICS SERIES that we've been teasing since the announcement of Year 2!

YOU MERELY ADOPTED THE DARK… STEGMAN WAS BORN IN IT.
Hey, did you know we host a weekly art instructional series here on KLC Press where you can submit your questions on social media using the hashtag #STEGMANSPEAKS and have those questions answered on the show by the man himself?
Well we do and you can and this week’s Stegman comics-art masterclass was all about the rendering of shadows! Ryan’s an expert on the subject because he’s not just an incredible comic book artist, but he’s also quite in touch with the darkness inside of himself.
Check it out by clicking the image below! Or the one above! We’re all about convenience here at KLCPress.com.
NEED MORE TOP-SHELF COMICS CONTENT IN YOUR LIFE?
Every week in the KLC Press offices is an event unto itself, but this week was a particularly big one for the launching of other comics Substacks as well! Did you even know there could be such a thing? Apparently so!
Friend of the imprint MATTHEW ROSENBERG dropped a bomb of an announcement in the form of the ASHCAN PRESS COMICS CORPORATION SUBSTACK! He’ll be working with an insane lineup of collaborators (TYLER BOSS and JUAN FERREYRA, just to name two of many) on some absolutely amazing comics and comics-related content, and you can get in on the ground floor right NOW! All you gotta do is click the image below and go subscribe.
We’re happy to point the Chain Gang over to the competition in just this one instance, not only because we love everyone involved, but because there may be some fantastic KLC Press/Ashcan Press crossover content coming your way very soon! Stay tuned!
ALL YOUR BURNING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED AT LAST!
One more thing! Earlier this week we dropped one final FAQ, addressing all the questions we’ve received about the perks that the wonderful subscribers that have been with us since YEAR ONE will be receiving!
If you’re a subscriber with lingering questions, make sure you check it out! Hopefully, at this point, we’ve covered everything you could hope to know. Thank you to everyone who's been so patient about the various delays and difficulties we’ve had! We hope you’re having a great time, and there is SO much more great stuff yet to come.
