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!
FIRST UP, let’s take a moment to celebrate a milestone we’re all very excited about…
HAPPY CHAIN MAIL 25!
Wow. They said we couldn’t do it.
Look, maybe this doesn’t mean anything to anyone. Almost certainly. But we here in the KLC PRESS bullpen enjoy keeping you up to date on all the exciting goings-on here at the coolest comic book imprint, and we’re proud that this beautiful newsletter has reached the peak of its young adulthood and is ready to take on the steady decline into middle age.
And hey! This was a cool week for an anniversary, as we dropped a lot of cool posts and even have ONE VERY EXCITING NEW ANNOUNCEMENT for you!
Let’s jump into the news…
PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN JUST A LITTLE ON “PROJECT 8” WITH ARTIST BOB QUINN!
THIS WEEK, WE WERE THRILLED TO INTRODUCE BOB TO THE KLC PRESS COMMUNITY!
That’s right, after many many weeks of teeny tiny “PROJECT 8” teases, we finally released a super fun video featuring artist BOB QUINN and an exciting discussion about the series!
We dropped a few new details about the book, and also have a great time chatting with Bob about his career and what attracted him to the project! You can check it out by clicking HERE or on Bob’s beautiful face above!
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: YOUR FIRST LOOK AT A SPECIAL STEGMANGA COVER FOR VANISH #5!
Founder and CEO of KLC PRESS Ryan Stegman has often spoken about how much he would love to see an anime adaptation of VANISH one day.
Well, today we get one step closer to that dream… With an incredible new STEGWORLD EXCLUSIVE cover for VANISH #5 that we have taken to calling…
STEGMANGA. CHECK IT OUT BELOW!
Pretty unreal, huh?
This beauty will be available on STEGWORLD early next week! Prepare yourself!
STEGMAN SPEAKS! SPECIFICALLY, ABOUT DRAWING CLOTHING!
Check this out folks: 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! What a reason to live!
