As we kick off the FINAL Kickstarter campaign for Clown Town (PLEDGE HERE!), enjoy a sampling of all the rewards created for the Issue 3 campaign!

Enjoy James Hardin’s Black Swan original 11×17 piece by Clown Town artist, Amanda Rachels, and James O’Callaghan’s two-page UNIQUE Clown Town story, “Hornswaggled” – created by Amanda and writer Kevin LaPorte JUST for him and lettered HERE in its full glory for the first time (the original art is on its way across the Atlantic!)!

Thanks one last time to EVERYONE who contributed to our past Kickstarter campaigns, and we invite you to join us on this last foray into Clown Town, during which we’ll publish the last full issue, as well as a collected, 120-page Graphic Novel edition with fully re-worked lettering and script! Rewards include the books (of course!) and Kickstarter-exclusive editions of each, plus original art by Amanda of YOUR Inner Carnie, up to and including a color full body sketch on Bristol board that will be featured on the Kickstarter-exclusive cover of the Graphic Novel (only 9 of these slots remain at this writing!). Printing costs are obviously higher with a book of this size, necessitating a higher goal for donations this time around, but a work that includes EVERY Clown Town story and piece of art we’ve ever created is absolutely worth it! Check out all the details HERE! WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

Fundraising to produce, print and distribute Clown Town #4 and the FULL, 120-page Clown Town Graphic Novel has begun! To pledge to our campaign and get yourself some incredibly cool rewards, go HERE!

For this fundraising campaign, the core story to be presented in the Graphic Novel is being fully re-edited and re-worked in terms of the lettering and script, to add consistency and quality and to bring the entire work up to date with our current level of comic craftsmanship!

You can help publish this story – our labor of love – by donating to this Kickstarter campaign. Choose from a copy of the fourth single issue for a donation of as little as $5 or, starting at $25, get a copy of the collected, re-edited Clown Town Graphic Novel. That’s 120 pages of every Clown Town story we’ve created, plus bonus materials, including every original piece of clown art Amanda’s drawn for our supporters over the past two years!

There are also rewards that will give you the opportunity to have us assist you in making YOUR comic dream a reality. Check our Kickstarter page frequently throughout the campaign, as there will be several unique chances to have Amanda provide art for YOU.

Without these folks, there’s NO WAY Clown Town #3 would have ever been printed!  Thanks to all these great fans and supporters of our work, most of whom have backed Clown Town and Amanda and Kevin from the start!  For the latest Kickstarter campaign, they were rewarded with unique (and EXTREMELY limited) sketch covers of Clown Town #3, this time with Christmas-themed, ELFed versions of themselves or a loved one!  Only 10 of these covers were even printed (we have ONE available for sketch – if you still want one, email amanda@inversepress.com)!  We’ll be posting Amanda’s original work for the other rewards (Christmas cards and original, 2-page comics) in the next few days!  Hope everyone had a great holiday season – all the best from Kevin & Amanda!

P.S. – If you haven’t yet, please opt in to our email list on the right side of the home page, so that we can contact you directly to let you know of our last (sniff…) Clown Town Kickstarter campaign, to begin in just a few weeks, as well as upcoming projects!

Christmas Cover to Clown Town #3!

The Clown Town #3 Kickstarter campaign for funds to assist with printing and distribution costs begins TONIGHT and lasts through December 11!  Special for December delivery, Clown Town #3 is 20 pages of killer clown madness and also includes the BONUS, full-color version of the 8-page Clown Town CHRISTMAS STORY, Your Nose So Bright, previously only printed in black and white! In one of the most twisted Clown Town stories yet, an abandoned child is vindicated by Stitches and crew…in the cruelest manner you can imagine.
