Local Ryan Stegman Breaks Twitter (CHAIN MAIL #23)
YOUR WEEKLY KLC PRESS NEWSLETTER!
Welcome back to…
Hey folks, it’s the Supple Boiz, Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan here. We’re back to catch you up on all the latest developments in the thrilling world of KLC PRESS!
We begin with arguably the most important news of the week…
THE TWEET HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD!
IT WAS A BIG WEEK ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR KLC PRESS FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT RYAN STEGMAN.
The Steg-Meister shocked fans and loyal Chain Gang members this week when his wife, Erin Stegman, dropped a video of him that will change the way you look at him forever.
At this point, we’re all used to seeing Ryan crank out work of art after work of art. That’s called Tuesday here at KLC PRESS. But what you may not be used to seeing…
Is Ryan Stegman himself as the work of art.
Check out the video below, but be prepared to weep with joy and a newfound will to live.
HILARITY, AS IT SO OFTEN DOES, TURNS TO TRAGEDY.
THINGS WEREN’T ALL SUNSHINE AND COLORFUL WIGS FOR LONG.
Just one day after Ryan took to Twitter with a confidence and radiance like the world has never seen from him before…
He was forced to mourn the loss of a friend. A longtime companion. An unsung hero of KLC PRESS.
Please respect the Stegman family’s privacy during this difficult time, but make sure to send your well-wishes using the hashtag #RIPSTEGLAMP.
STEGWORLD GEARS UP FOR FEBRUARY!
Yesterday we dropped our big February update for STEGWORLD, your one-stop KLC PRESS shop!
Among other things, the post outlines the latest addition to the shop: BUNDLES!
That’s right, RIGHT NOW you can get your hands on great deals like the INTRO TO VANISH BUNDLE, a SIGNED BY STEGMAN bundle, the FOIL BUNDLE, and more!

STEGMAN TEACHES ON PREPARING YOUR ART FOR LETTERING!
Wanna hear something nuts? 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! Can you even believe?
This week, Stegman talked through his approach to leaving space in his art for lettering, to ensure the later stages of the production process go smoothly. It’s a helpful tidbit for those looking for a smooth collaboration!
Check it out by clicking the image below! Or the one above! Or HERE! If you’re someone who gets overwhelmed by choices, apologies. We just get excited.
NETHO DIAZ TAKES OVER COMICS IN APRIL!
Upcoming VANISH #6 artist Netho Diaz took to Twitter this week to tease that not only will he be premiering his work on KLC PRESS’ flagship series in April, but also on MARVEL’S PREDATOR series!
April will be jam-packed with incredible stuff from Netho, and he even teases that he has upcoming news about everything he’ll have going on in May! We here in the KLC PRESS bullpen are thrilled to see everything he’s got coming up next.
