Hey Everyone,

And if you have a quick minute to share the campaign on social media or with anyone you think might be interested before time runs out, it would be much appreciated!

Thank you so much for your support, and for helping us bring this comic to life. Your belief in the comic means so much, and it has been an awesome campaign!

I also wanted to share with you another exciting comic that's live on Kickstarter right now. It's MASTIFF #1 by Tim Stiles, NarcolepticCrow, Marco Bovi, Nikki Powers, and Abigail Stiles. 

Here's a little about it: 

Claude Deny is the  charismatic pastor at the Evangelical REDEEM COMMUNITY CHURCH in the  small town of Haven.  He's living the perfect life; Fashionable and  funky, popular, married to the young and beautiful Brie, two cars, big  house, all surrounded by a white picket fence.

MASTIFF #1 marks the long-awaited comic  book return of Big Tim Stiles, the writer of the multi-award-winning  comic book series GORILLA MY DREAMS, with the first thrilling installment  of an all-new Supernatural Revenge Horror!

Back it here.

Well, that's it from me for now. Again, thank you all so much for helping to make this an amazing campaign!

over 2 years ago – Mon, Nov 13, 2023 at 11:33:48 AM

Hey Everyone,

I hope your week is off to a good start! I've got exciting news...with just four days left, No Spell Lasts Forever #2 has reached 100 backers! Yay! A HUGE thank you to all of you for your support, it means so much to me!

We're actually at 101 backers at the moment, which means we're just FOUR backers away from unlocking the next backer bonus -- all 24 pages of Eze's gorgeous inks! So if you'd like to get that added to your digital goodies at no extra cost, it would be awesome if you'd consider sharing the campaign on social media to help us reach the 105-backer benchmark.

I wanted to let you know where everything is at with the comic, too. All the art is done, and I finished the lettering last week. This week I'll be creating the digital version of the comic as well as the PDFs to send to the printer. And I'm putting together the Digital Writer's Aschan, too. So once the campaign ends, I'll get the digital goodies sent your way shortly and the order placed with the printer ASAP.

I also wanted to share another exciting comic that's live on Kickstarter right now. It's The Polar Pardox #1-4, By Frank Martin and Antonio Mastria.

Here's a little about it:

After responding to a distress signal in the waters under Antarctica,  Linda rescued a research scientist named Wanda, but the duo somehow  wound up on the other side of the planet in the Arctic. In search of her  missing squad mate, Linda ventured into a deep cave system under the  jungle's of Borneo, where she discovered a strange door that may provide  the answers she's looking for.

Pledge here.

Well, that's it from me for now! As always, you can find me on Instagram, @sarahcookewriter and @nospellcomic, and X/Twitter, @sarahcookewrite.

ONE WEEK left!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 10, 2023 at 01:05:34 PM

Hey Everyone,

I hope you're all having an awesome Friday! Just a quick heads up to let you know there's just ONE WEEK left in the campaign for No Spell Lasts Forever #2! So if you'd like to add any extra add-ons, now is the time!

Eze's art is finished, and I just wrapped up the lettering at the end of last week, so as soon as the campaign ends, I'll get everything sent off to the printer!

Also, we're closing in on unlocking the next backer bonus, which is a digital copy of all 24 pages of Eze's gorgeous inks! It gives you a very cool look at the visual progression of the entire issue. So if that's something that you'd like to get, feel free to share the campaign on social media and help us bring in a few more backers.

I also wanted to share a couple of other very cool campaigns live on Kicksteter. First up is the anthology Cohorts

From Oneshi Press, it features 18 short comics from 30 diverse creators around the world, all about team-ups. It's 140 pages of awesome stories about epic mechs, unlicensed detectives, superheroes, friends of convenience,  gangsters, mortal frenemies, tricksters, ex-lovers, hopeful dates,  unlikely cross-species pals, work wives, mythical behemoths, wilderness  wonders, chosen family, packs of dogs, dance-floor besties, and more!

Check it out here.

_______

Next up is Ruxy Vampire #1, by Kurt Zauer, Mog Park, Bruna Costa, and LetterSquids. 

Here's a little bit about it: 

A supernatural thriller about Ruxandra Tepes, the granddaughter of Vlad  Dracula himself.  Ruxy is a Cel Rau vampire, a unique and tough breed  that's a little closer to humanity.  Cel Rau are born, not made.  These  differences make them hated by other vampires and prestigious trophies  to vampire hunters.  Hunted and hounded, Ruxy and her brother Marku  escaped by embracing the light of the sun in late 1880s London.  For a  Cel Rau, sunlight means being turned to stone... perhaps to never live  again.

Check it out here.

Well, that's it from me for now! As always, you can find me on Instagram, @sarahcookewriter and @nospellcomic, and X/Twitter, @sarahcookewrite.

Have a great day!

Another exciting new add-on + a new way to support No Spell!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Nov 07, 2023 at 06:11:27 AM

Hey Everyone,

I hope your Tuesday is off to a good start! Just a quick heads up to let you know about a couple of exciting things on the No Spell Lasts Forever front. 

First of all, we've added another exciting add-on!

It's a digital copy of Chiaroscuro, the eight-page comic I wrote with art by Jersain Cast and colors by Aimée Hawley. It's about a museum director forced to re-examine her thoughts on the larger role of art when faced with the violence of her dystopian society. While Jersain's art is very different from Eze's, it also has some of the dark, shadowy aesthetics of noir, so if you're enjoying the art of No Spell, you'll definitely be into Jersain's gorgeous art, too! Here's a preview of the first page:

I also wanted to let you know that the digital version of No Spell Lasts Forever #1 is now included in the digital indie bundle that's part of the deluxe $10 tier for Blazing Blade of Frankenstein 1-3, an awesome series for fantasy fans. Sword and sorcery meets gothic horror, with Mary Shelley's monster  cast as a wandering barbarian. This issue: Frankenstein vs. Cthulhu! The comic is written by Clay Adams, who's such a talented creator, with beautiful art by Mick Beyers and colors by Julio Rojas. So if you want to show your interest in No Spell and have the chance to read another awesome fantasy comic, check it out! 

And lastly, I wanted to share another exciting comic that's live on Kickstarter! It's Teddy Scares, by Joe DiDomenico and Jim Hankins. 

Here's a little about it: 

As a child your teddy bear was there to love and protect you from  things that go bump in the night. When you outgrew them, they were cast  aside and forgotten. Teddy Scares are those bears, now with a new home:  the Garbage Dump. With no home they wander endlessly, searching for someone new to hug and cuddle them.

All they want is your love.

Your parents were right... you should've been nicer to your toys! The Teddy Scares zombie teddy bears are back from the grave starring in four eerie tales  that are sure to scare the stuffing out of you! Based on the popular  toy line of the same name

Check it out here.

Well, that's it from me for now. If you have a moment, it would be super helpful to share No Spell Lasts Forever #2 on social media!

Exciting new add-on!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Nov 02, 2023 at 06:15:47 AM

Hey Everyone,

I hope you're having a great week! I'm a little sad because Spooky Season is over, but otherwise things have been good!

I wanted to let you know that I've added the digital version of No Spell Lasts Forever #1 as an add-on. Multiple people asked about, so it seemed like it was something you all were interested in and you know me, I like to give the people what they want.

So if you've pledged at the digital tier and you want to catch up on the series, you can now add the digital Issue #1 to your order.

Also, I wanted to give you a heads up about another exciting comic that's live on Kickstarter right now. It's Blazing Blade of Frankenstein #1-3, by Clay Adams, Mick Beyers, and Julio Rojas.

It's an episodic graphic novel that casts Mary Shelley's monster as a wandering barbarian fighting for the fate of a savage land. 

Check it out here.

Well, that's it from me for now. If you have a minute, it would be super awesome if you could share No Spell Lasts Forever #2 on social media.
