We just finished tabling at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle for the first time and had a fantastic time!
We produced a limited run of exclusive trading cards for the event featuring Nightmare in Wonderland's Assassin Alice by Dravacus. And for the next few days, we're making them available for purchase for folks who didn't get to attend the convention but are interested in exclusive items!
The ECCC 2024 "Alice in Wonderland" HOLO card is available as a $7 Add-on!
The exclusive item is now available as a $7 Add-on to the campaign. We only have 85 copies of the card remaining, so if you're interested be sure to grab them while supplies last.
Campaign Reminders
Before the Kickstarter ends, we wanted to take a quick moment to remind you of some initiatives you may want to be aware of in case you missed some previous Updates!
FREE "Assassin Alice" Pin for Pledges of $30+
We're offering a FREE "Assassin Alice" 1.5" Enamel Pin to anyone who pledges over a certain amount for physical rewards!
Get the "Assassin Alice" Enamel Pin for pledging $30+ (before shipping) for Physical Rewards!
All you have to do to get the pin for free is support this campaign for $30+ Before Shipping (the cost of your Reward Tier + Add-ons), and pledge at a Physical Level (have some Rewards shipped to you).
If both criteria are met, we'll include the Enamel Pin with your Rewards completely free of charge!
We recommend checking out any of our Variant Cover Reward Tiers to automatically qualify for the free pin!
"Slice of Life" Crossover Print for Backers of both Campaigns
A quick reminder that we have another campaign live right now: the "Slice of Life" Season 1 Graphic Novel! Supporting both projects will get you the below crossover art print by "Slice of Life" artist Valeria Peri (who also designed the characters for Nightmare in Wonderland).
You'll get a Physical copy of the print as long as at least one backing is a Physical Pledge (meaning you're having some rewards shipped to you). You'll receive a Digital copy so long as both campaigns are backed.
A much-requested $3 Add-on allows backers to upgrade their Digital PDF copy of Nightmare in Wonderland #1 to the PREMIUM PDF!
Upgrade to Premium PDF for $3!
The Premium Digital Copy includes:
Hi-res digital copies of all seven cover variants for Nightmare in Wonderland #1 (including the new "Valentine's Day" Cover G)
Select WIP pages
Never-before-seen character designs (including UNUSED DESIGNS for series leads, Alice & Bianca)
A portion of the script, and more!
Skylar Patridge Metal Cover
Our "Fated" Cover F by Skylar Patridge has been the most popular cover option on the campaign. So we've added a limited-quantity Metal Cover Version of this cover!
Limited-Edition "Fated" Metal Cover
As of this writing, the Add-on for this Metal Cover is SOLD OUT. But we still have a couple of copies available via the Reward Tier!
Over the previous few days, we managed to unlock our $50K Stretch Goal! So it's time to announce our final Stretch Goals for this campaign!

And if you support both Nightmare in Wonderland and Slice of Life you'll receive an EXCLUSIVE print featuring both sapphic couples with art by Slice of Life artist and Nightmare in Wonderland character designer, Valeria Peri. (Digital backers will get a digital version and physical backers of at least one of the campaigns will get a physical version.)

Next Stretch Goal
Let's set our sights on Stretch Goal #5!
$45,000 - Skylar Patridge "Fated" Metal Cover! [LOCKED ๐]
Our "Fated" Cover F by Skylar Patridge has been the most popular cover option on the campaign. So if our next Stretch Goal is unlocked, we'll be adding a limited-quantity Metal Cover Version of this cover!
If we hit $45,000 funding, we'll make 25 copies of this metal cover available on the campaign (some through Reward Tier, some through Add-ons).
Like our other Dravacus Metal Cover, this item will be a Kickstarter-Exclusive and will not be available for purchase following the conclusion of this campaign!
Other Housekeeping
A quick reminder that our limited-time "Valentine's Day" Cover expires this Sunday. So if you're interested, grab it before it's no longer available! More info in our previous Update.
And we also have a Pre-launch Page up for our next campaign: "Slice of Life" Season 1. We'll talk more about that campaign when it launches, but a little tease that supporting both campaigns will get you a cool bonus item!
More Kickstarters
And finally, let's quickly plug a Kickstarter you should have on your radar from our friend Will Allred!
โThe growing evil of Mr. Hyde stalks Hank and Hector in a transformed London. Can they end the crossover before Hyde ends them?โ
We always love seeing a new Kickstarter from our friend, Will Allred. Crossover Division sees a world where stories come to life and threaten to fracture reality beyond repair, and only an English professor and a research librarian have the knowledge and smarts to save us all.
An issue with a heavy focus on Mr. Hyde is very fun, and one weโre really looking forward to!

If unlocked, we'll add a new Kickstarter Add-on that will let you Upgrade your Digital copy of Nightmare in Wonderland #1 to the Premium PDF - with tons of extra content!ย

One of the most prolific and consistent series on Kickstarter, THE FEW AND CURSED is the supernatural apocalyptic Western you've been waiting for!
The apocalypse happened in 1840 and opened up the doors to all sorts of monsters, curses and demons. One day the world just dried up and whatever little water that was left, being now the most precious resource on the planet, started to be used as currency.ย
The Few and Cursed is a fast-developing comic book universe that started almost ten years ago with a Curse Chaser known only as the Redhead and then went on to publish over a dozen books so far.ย
This Kickstarter is for Hidden Away - a one-shot standalone graphic novel set in the same universe without any need to read anything prior. For new readers unfamiliar with anything from the TFAC universe this is the perfect entry point!
