This is it yinz! The final 24 hours! Can we get everyone to rally behind Chris’ project?

Hi everyone!
I launched my Kickstarter campaign for A Great & Terrible today. I’m super excited (also terrified).
If you enjoy the #wizardofoz or frankly anything fantasy/adventure this might be for you! I hope you’ll back it, or give it a share.

The COJ crew built an incredible book. They are an amazing group of creators!
Please vote for Coins of Judas from @bandofbards.com @travisgibb.bsky.social @marvelzukas.bsky.social Tyler Carpenter and myself.
I do not get a vote, but if I did, I would have an IMPOSSIBLE time this year. Absolutely gorgeous stuff. Comics pros can vote now for the Ringo Award for Best Presentation in Design.

We’ve been quiet… it’s been ridiculous. We promise an update soon. In the meantime we hope you’ll check out Chris’ project.
Plz sign up to be notified. The dude has given a ton to help others in the #comics space, & it would be great to see him get a win.
