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’ll begin with the latest…
THIS WEEK’S KLC COMMUNITY HANGOUT STREAM… AND ITS LUCKY RAFFLE WINNERS!
Our community hangout streams RETURNED this week, with a recently injured Ryan Stegman taking a break from the sketching in order to have a laid-back time with the Chain Gang! You can watch it by clicking on the screencap above!
Joining us were the lovely Chad Larsson and V Ken Marion, promoting the Indiegogo for their series Deathshroud, which you can find HERE!
In case you’ve forgotten, Stegman did some design and cover work for the series, including a crazy Venom #1 cover homage that we raffled off to THREE lucky KLC Press subscribers! You can take a look at the cover and its winners below!
THE BIG STEGWORLD/THIRD EYE COMICS AUCTION CONCLUDES!
SPEAKING OF BIG WINNERS!
The huge STEGWORLD/Third Eye Comics auction ended earlier this week, with a lot of incredible loot being shipped off to a lot of very lucky bidders!
Chief among these was Daniel C. Mitchel, who took to Twitter to share that not only did he snag a piece, but he managed to get his hands on TWO masterpieces of original VANISH artwork! Check out his tweet below!
STEGMAN TEACHES YOU TO DRAW INTERIORS!
Newsflash: 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 do you think of that?!
This week, Stegman talked through his approach to rendering interior spaces, ensuring that they have dimension and above all look dynamic. It’s a great installment of a great show on a great Substack on a terrible internet.
Check it out by clicking the image below! Or the one above! Or HERE! Life is all about choices.
THE LONG-AWAITED REVEAL OF THE COVER FOR VANISH #6!
A NEW VANISH COVER IS ALWAYS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK.
Ahead of the release of VANISH #5 and the beginning of a new arc, the cover to VANISH #6 has already been revealed… And it’s a doozy!
This issue will feature some incredible guest artwork from NETHO DIAZ and we can’t wait for you to finally be able to enjoy it in full!
In the meantime, check out the gorgeous cover below, and try not to let your eyes pop out of your skull you big goof!
NETHO DIAZ CONTRASTS HIS WORK ON PREDATOR AND VANISH!
As mentioned, NETHO DIAZ will be doing some work on the upcoming sixth issue of VANISH, and he has been sharing some tantalizing sneak peeks on social media!
This week, Netho shared a fascinating look inside his process: A contrasting of his rendering styles between his work on MARVEL’s Predator series and his much-anticipated issue of VANISH!

Heyy, any eta on shipments of various books? I probably deferred in whatever survey to have my stuff delayed to get the most of whatever…. I don’t really remember at this point.
Any tentative/non-commital timeline for delivery of what was included in each tier would be appreciated, thanks! Looking forward to seeing Flood 🤗
