Project Update: SECRET HARDCOVER UPGRADE...REVEALED!

Hardcovers are great! They...


  • Are durable.

  • Have lay-flat, saddle-stich binding.

  • Come with bookmark ribbons, a different color for each issue.

  • Have unique cover designs, different from the softcover & digital formats.

    and

  • New in 2024, they contain gorgeous endsheet art!

What's an "endsheet"? It's the absolute inside of the cover plus the very first, and - in the back - very last, pages.

For example:
An example, NOT our design.


We are currently working with Babe & Oak, illustrator & surface pattern designer, to create an original "toss surface pattern" design which will be used in the endsheets of issues 3&4, and all future hardcover issues.

A toss surface pattern design is a layout in which the motifs are arranged in a scattered, but balanced way. For example:

A toss surface pattern by Babe & Oak.


Our design concept will be Sword & Sorcery themed, naturally, with swirling battle-axes, snakes, and sorcery!

Elements of the design will be customized for each issue, changing colors to match the two-color pairing within the issue's logo. This means you can expect to see white & red in issue three's endsheets while issue four's endsheets will feature purple & yellow.

Half of issue three's logo on the left, four's on the right.


One last thing to know about hardcover issues - they are printed in very limited quantities! Last year's issue one is sold out, and there's only 17 copies left of issue #2 in hardcover. Due to the costs involved, once an issue is sold out it is gone for good.

So this crowdfunding campaign is the best time to secure a copy! 


If you haven't already, please consider pledging for, or upgrading to, hardcovers so you can enjoy all they have to offer - including our upcoming, gorgeous new endsheet design.
