Hi,

We hope you all enjoyed the Liberty Brigade Issue #0. We are still in the process of putting the books together and will update you soon on the status of each book. 

In the meantime, we would like to inform you of a great Indiegogo campaign right now by our friend James Calafiore whose various work includes VALIANT books, Deadpool, Black Panther and the BAT-books, to name a few.

Here is an excerpt on what you will find in NED, Lord of the Pit - a comedy of terrors!

His career as an actor..... Well, to call it "struggling" is generous.

His girlfriend has begun to bring up the dreaded subjects of marriage  and kids. (He's settled on the tried and true tactics of deflection and  feigned hysterical deafness.)

His brother has just died. Yeah, he was an ass, but still, y'know, family.

And then there's the fact that he's lost his mind. At least Ned hopes  he's lost his mind. What else could explain the hallucinations? This  morning, on the streets of Manhattan, he started seeing creatures.  Monsters; Grotesqueries; Demons; shambling, crawling or oozing along  with the usual NYC sidewalk crowd. No one seems to notice them. But he  sees them.

And they see him.

Funding NOW on Indiegogo with ONLY 5 days left.

Best,

TNC Team

Hi Folks,

While we wait for a few of the books to be completed (we are working hard to get them finished), we thought you'd like to see some Liberty Brigade right now. 

An email from BackerKit with a download to The Liberty Brigade Zero Issue will be coming to your inbox today. 

Written with passion by Michael Finn with extraordinary art by Garrie Gastonny and dynamically inked by Joe Rubinstein with a phenomenal cover by Barry Kitson, we begin the tale of The Liberty Brigade. You'll be reintroduced to some classic public domain heroes like the Blue Flame, Green Turtle, Mad Hatter, Cat-Man and more plus a few new heroes National Anthem, Bill of Rights and Mr. Freedom. That's not all as you will also see sample entries from the reference guide to the Heroes of the Liberty Brigade.

We thank you for your patience as we get this exciting Graphic Novel together. You won't be disappointed.

Best,

TNC

More pages and a splash to show off

Just keeping all of you in the loop -- Barry has been crafting one glorious page after another and just finished one with over 50 characters -- poor Mick Gray -- 

Here is a splash page near the end of the book -- thought you might enjoy seeing this.

 Everybody is working away to wrap the book up and I think everyone is going to be very happy with the end product - I'll keep showing off some art along the way -- for example, here is a panel from Ron and Joe -- 

PDFs on the way

Thank you all for your incredible patience -- we are going to start rolling out some of the .pdfs so people don't have to keep waiting while we continue to finish the books -- our schedule looks like this:

October 15 - The Liberty Brigade #0.  Here is the cover.

October 30 - The Liberty Brigade Encyclopedia should be ready -- we have 2 pages left and then we just need to get the .pdf organized.  

November 15 - The Liberty Brigade - Villains Files - we await a single page and then this is complete.  Here are 3 covers to this book.

We'll release the Heroes origin and the main book at the same time when we release the hard copies -- our hope is that these 3 .pdfs will allow you to see the amazing quality and all the hard work that has gone into it.  

Free pdf story - this will likely come out in January but we'll be showing off the covers in our next update.

Again, sorry for the delays BUT we continue to add pages -- I know, just finish the book you must be saying BUT when we looked at certain parts, we felt additional pages were necessary -- so more Kitson art, more Frenz art and more great pages.  Barry has thumbnailed out the last 20 pages and is now penciling them -- that ends the book and our team is working on all the other pages in the meantime.

We really are almost there and I apologize for the delays and can only say it was because everyone felt the story just needed more pages to breathe - no extra cost to anyone for it.

Preview art from bonus story - "Girls Night Out" + Missing Pages

First - 5 pages of The book's pencils by Ron Frenz were "lost" at the Toronto comic-con so if you see them somewhere, let me know as there is a reward.  We have the scans so the pages are being inked blue-lined.  And, no, it wasn't Ron that did the losing.  If you see some great Ron Frenz pages featuring the 1940s characters, let me know as we'd love to get them back if some good samaritan found them.

Second, progress continues and here is the layout for the opening page to Girls Night Out, one of the bonus stories in the book -- -- pencils are by Garrie Gastonny -- hope you all like it --
