THE BIGGEST WEEK IN KLC HISTORY (CHAIN MAIL #4)
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 an absolutely ENORMOUS week here at KLC Press, likely our biggest ever. Don’t worry if you’ve fallen behind, because we’ve gathered all the goods for you within this, the world’s greatest newsletter! LET’S DIVE IN…
FINALLY… THE ARRIVAL OF VANISH!
The day has finally arrived, folks. For over a year, the Chain Gang has witnessed the creation of this incredible book from its very inception, and we are absolutely thrilled to finally be able to share it with you.
That’s right, our wonderful paid subscribers can read the first issue RIGHT NOW, before the rest of the world has the chance to get their little mitts on it in their local comic shops!
If you haven’t treated yourself to the comics experience of a lifetime yet, make sure and check out the post below! And if you’re not yet one of our paid subscribers, make sure you jump onto one of our subscription tiers so you don’t miss out!
THE REACTIONS ARE POURING IN!
But don’t take it from us! We’ve been receiving an insane amount of wonderful feedback since the book dropped, and we’re thrilled that the readers are as hyped-up as we are! Big thanks to these lovely Chain Gang members for their delightful reviews:
PLUS… THE ORIGINAL ART, COMING SOON!
For those who absolutely can’t get enough of Ryan’s masterful work on VANISH, the entirety of the original art from the first issue will soon be available for purchase through Felix Comic Art! Can you imagine hanging one of those pages on your wall? We literally can not. Our houses are too dingey and small and unworthy.
IT’S A STEGWORLD AND WE’RE ALL JUST LIVING IN IT!
That’s right! In addition to the launch of KLC Press’ flagship book, this week also saw the launch of the long-awaited STEGWORLD SHOP! You can literally head over there right now by clicking the image above! But for those out of the loop:
The shop is home to exclusive comics and variant covers, both unsigned and signed by Mr. Stegman, that you can pre-order! Moving forward, the store will be the destination for exclusive variant covers by Stegman and a slew of other blockbuster artists, which will begin dropping regularly very soon. You won’t be able to find some of these covers anywhere else so, whether you’re a collector or just someone who appreciates a dope cover, STEGWORLD is the place to be!
The best part? KLC Press subscribers get first dibs!
Find all the details at the post below, including all the perks included in your subscription to the KLC Press Substack!
COMMISSION CORNER
Between launching a god damn phenomenon of a comic book and cutting the ribbon of his very own store, Ryan Stegman kept the masterworks coming. As always.
Check out his latest commissions below, and ask yourself the question: Is he the greatest man who ever lived?
SMUDGEMAN SPEAKS!
But, of course… Ryan is, above all… A giver.
He gives back to the comic book community.
And that’s why on Tuesday he delivered another comics art masterclass, this time all about avoiding smudging in your pencil work! Truly the bane of any artists’ existence. Check it out by clicking the image below! Or the one above! I’ve included so many links!
WRITE TO US!
As always, make sure you hit us up (at klcpressonline@gmail.com, of course) to let us know what you’d like to see on the Substack, and how you’re feeling about all the craziness of YEAR 2 so far! We’d love to hear from you, and we’ll feature some of our favorite bits of correspondence here in CHAIN MAIL!
