If you back the project, here’s what you can get.
With Kickstarter, it goes beyond just offering a way for you to order books, but reaching new people to showcase brilliant projects. The comics community on Kickstarter has been supportive of many BHP Comics projects across the years, and we felt there was no better place to launch this exclusive pre-order for Charlie Adlard: Drawings + Sketches, both a thanks and way to ensure we reach as many new people as possible.
Your money will go primarily towards the printing and production of the book, making sure it matches the quality of Charlie’s work inside!
Thanks for supporting BHP Comics and independent comics publishing! We appreciate it.
No risks with this project, all the artwork is from Charlies collection, it’s all been scanned and we’re in the process of pulling the internals together for the book.
