Hi, Guys –

I’m glad to hear so many of you are posting when you receive your premiums from our Maggie The Cat Kickstarter. 

The reason some of you waited so long for your packages is that the person in charge of fulfillment suffered a major medical incident and was hospitalized for a short time. I’m relieved to say he’s recovered nicely and went right back to packing and shipping the last of our premiums. That’s why so many of you received yours just this week. 

I’m told there have been a few discrepancies in the contents and I want to assure you we will make good on every single item. Contact us and tell us what you’re missing and we’ll take care of it.

I appreciate your feedback. Please don’t hesitate to let me know what we can do to improve all around.

Thanks again for your support,

Mike

Hi, Guys –

Due to the tremendous response to my LEGION OF SUPERHEROES SKETCHBOOK which was offered during the Maggie The Cat Kickstarter campaign, we’re pleased to announce that it will be offered on Mark Ryan’s THE PILGRIM Kickstarter as an add-on bonus. It will only be offered as a crowd-funding premium.

Hi, Guys –

I just got a look at Steve Scott’s inks over my poster layout, which is available as a premium on Mark Ryan’s THE PILGRIM Kickstarter. HOLY COW! 

I’ve always admired Steve’s talent, but this is just so far beyond anything I expected. The truth is I was sort of dreading having to ink this myself, but Steve absolutely knocked it out of the park.

Hi, guys –

Anyone who has read Mark Ryan’s memoir HOLD FAST or is familiar with his tarot systems THE GREENWOOD TAROT and THE WILDWOOD TAROT knows that he speaks with firsthand experience in matters military and occult. He’s also a hell of a storyteller.

When he first told me the story of THE PILGRIM over what I seem to recall as a campfire and more than a few doses of a quality beverage unavailable to younger folks, the hair stood up on the back of my neck. That’s because it’s not some fantasy conceived of myth, but reality based on actual events.

If you knew the things Mark told me–which are historically and scientifically accurate–you might find yourself re-thinking your world view.
Since we first began work on THE PILGRIM, the world has changed in ways no one could have predicted… except Mark did. Ten years later, the story seems almost ripped-from-the-headlines. You only have to listen to the news to know how bizarre things have gotten — what was once ludicrous is now the norm. We can no longer say, “Oh, that could never happen” because stranger things are happening every day.

If I keep babbling on I’m liable to give something away, so I’m going to shut up except to say you won’t believe what’s coming next… but you should.

I can hardly wait.

Hi, Guys –

I just wanted to let you know that the Sable bonus book is off the presses and we are in the process of shipping packages to our backers. 75 boxes have gone out already and should be arriving within 2-7 days. I still have a few sketch covers to complete over the next couple of days, so those of you who are getting them will receiving your packages a few days later. Naturally, overseas shipping takes awhile longer.

I want to thank everyone for your support and patience as we stumbled, bumbled and fumbled our way through our first Kickstarter. We learned a lot along the way – what works, what doesn’t and, especially, what to avoid in the future as we move into the next phase for Masterstroke. Some great things are coming and you made it happen.

We’d love to hear from you when you get your packages — send video if you can. You can post to social media or write a note to this site and we’ll try to include as many as we can in a letter column in Maggie The Cat Volume Two.

In addition, my pal Mark Ryan is launching a Kickstarter for his brilliant project THE PILGRIM, scheduled to begin March 6, 2020. Those of you who have contributed to Maggie The Cat and also join The Pilgrim Kickstarter at a level of $50 or more will receive an exclusive bonus and one lucky person is in for a big surprise.

Mike
