It's been a good week to be an indie comics supporter. My backer rewards for Stash Box by @ianface.bsky.social and @frederikhornung.com , and Of Ichor & Bone by @asawheatley.bsky.social , @sammywarddraws.bsky.social and @jpjordan.bsky.social arrived, look at all these goodies! 😍

A photo of a wooden surface covered with cool indie comic goodies. These include a comic book called Of Ichor & Bone, depicting a lady knight being wrangled by a fleshy, serpent-like monster, along with two little stickers and four pinups of the same character in different heroic positions.

These include a comic book called Stash Box, in two different editions with different covers, both in the old-school and pulpy horror style. There are three pinups with motifs from the story, a postcard and four stickers. There is also an actual plant creeping into frame.

All ages. Spooky. Skeptical. Scientific.

We got to work with parapsychologist Richard Wiseman to make interactive comics.

And we convinced the publishers to put it on discount for Halloween (and Christmas if you’re prepared!)
