We await receipt of the softcovers and hardcovers from USPS -- hopefully in the next 10 days or so and then we will be shipping like mad! Everything is ready -- we just need the graphic novels which are on the way! In the meantime, here are comments from one of the backers who chose one of our proof copies --
Brett says,
Got my bundle on 10/24(my birthday) and love it all!! Beautiful art and great story with a golden age vibe and awesome characters! Well worth the wait and I’m on board for whatever’s next! Keep ‘em flyin’!
We are working on issue #2 and #3 BUT are not going to solicit any future issues until they are done -- meaning they are penciled, inked, lettered and colored - your incredible patience means the world to us and we hope everyone will feel like Brett and will enjoy the books.
Last - we have a special digital story as our final surprise coming to all of you before the end of the year -- a tiny supplement to our main story - here is the first page - pencils Sash Scott, inks Bob Almond and colors by Chris Sotomayor
Hello fans of Liberty Brigade!
I wanted to share with all of you directly via email The Masters comic book Kickstarter from my friend Austin Hough.
Look at this line-up of artists: Ramona Fradon, Pablo Marcos, Tom Palmer, Romeo Tanghal, Bob Hall, Mike Grell, Alan Weiss, Mike Vosburg, Joe Staton, Al Milgrom, Val Mayerik, Arvell Jones, Alex Saviuk, Ron Wilson, Mike Gustovich, Pat Broderick, Bob Budiansky, Kerryl Gammill, Joe Rubinstein, Chuck Patton, Tom Grummett, Mark Pennington, Bart Sears, Steven Butler, Mort Todd, Mike Lilly, Andrew Pepoy Bob Almond, Tom Mogan, Geof Isherwood, Darryl Banks, Art Baltazar, Robb Epps, Darryl Young, Luke Daab, Joe Wos, Stephane Roux, Dakota Alexander, and David Perrin.
It is a five-issue series and here is a quick summary...
A team of super-powered super villains, each whose identity is inspired by a famous 20th century artist, come together at the behest of an unidentified benefactor. All being master artists as well as master thieves, this benefactor dubs this new super villain team, The Masters, and contracts them to steal five very specific portrait paintings from around the world. The paintings individually hold insignificant value, but collectively they are priceless to the benefactor who plans to use their power and influence to perpetrate a scheme only known to him.
Standing in their way, though, is a team of Golden Age super heroes led by Black Owl and including: Arrow, Airman, Plymo the Rubber Man, Fly-Man, and Twister. Together they form The Power Corps and are dedicated to foiling The Masters' evil plan.
Who is this unknown benefactor? Why does the benefactor need these specific paintings to carry out his ultimate plan? How can The Power Corps stop The Masters? All will be revealed in the upcoming five-issue series: The Masters.
This comic book series and Kickstarter rewards are chock full of Bronze Age goodness. And, reward levels start at ONLY $10 for a digital download and go all the way up to $2,000 for various pieces of ORIGINAL ART from some of your favorite comic book artists!

Thank you for the 20 supporters who asked for the proof softcover instead of the regular cover softcover. We will be shipping your books to you next week. We now await the giant batch of softcovers and hardcovers now that the proofs are good.
I will be signing each proof copy so let us know if you don't want it signed.
Gang - 20 proofs are on the way and they are multi-cover softcovers with every cover -- the first 20 of you that respond, we will ship this proof copy instead of a regular copy.
