Stretch Goal Unlocked
We hit our $85K stretch goal this week and have offically added horror legend Steve Niles to the Kolchak 50 project! That means you're getting a dozen comic stories.
Kolchak Artwork Is Coming
We have sketches and layouts for David Avallone and Julius Ohta's teen Kolchak story — and they're unbelievable. We'll be revealing some of it soon.
In the meantime, here's a warmup sketch by Tom Rogers, who's illustrating Richard C. Matheson's story in the anthology.
Talking Kolchak
David Avallone, Rodney Barnes and Nancy Collins did an awesome livestream with Leonard Sultana, chatting about — what else? — our favorite monster-slaying reporter and our Kickstarter campaign.
6 Days Left in the Campaign
We have less than a week to go. The campaign ends Thursday at 11:59 pm EST. So let's get the word out and finish with a bang.
The erotic adventures of Blackrabbit! An adults-only comic book.
Blackrabbit is an original take on the comic book genre... formatted in a new way... it is a gorgeous, erotic tale both visually and in prose. It is engaging and titillating.
A psychological martial arts thriller from fellow Staten Islander Kat Calamia...
They Call Her...The Dancer is a story that focuses on the beauty and brutality of dance and martial arts, delving into the morally gray psyche of a professional dancer and assassin.

We're only a few hundred dollars away from officially adding a comic book story written by Steve Niles to the graphic novel. Please, keep sharing the campaign and spreading the word so we can get there.
We've added a few more Dan Brereton signed one-shot comics and we still have a few Rodney Barnes signed books left — so don't delay. They usually go fast.
And here are two other cool comic book projects to check out...
Moth Hill is a 4-issue MysteryHorror comic series (24 pages each)that explores the infamous legend of The Mothman.

The first two weeks of the campaign are in the books and we hit a major milestone. More than 1000 Kolchak fans have backed the campaign! Can you believe that?
We also topped $70,000 and are very close to unlocking the FREE making-of-Kolchak-50 digital book. So keep spreading the word. Plus, we have another big, big announcement coming very soon. You don't want to miss this, so keep watch on your inboxes.
More Signed Rewards
I know you all love signed stuff and I'm trying to get more. Which of our contributors would you most like to have sign your books or other rewards? And would you want other rewards or add-ons signed? Let me know in the comments, and I'll try to make it happen. Bear in mind if someone is overseas it would be very expensive to ship the books back and forth.
Here's another cool Kickstarter comic...Fans of off-beat horror like The Burbs, Re-Animator, and Shaun of the Dead will enjoy this 2-part story about plumbers who continue their adventure underground and discover horrifying secrets on a cosmic scale. It's Super Mario Bros. vs Cthulhu! http://kck.st/3q9QY6R
