Hi,
I hope you’re well.
It feels like it’s been a little while since an update, so my apologies for that. I have a little internal dialogue about how often I should post, because I know, invariably, we’ll have a Kickstarter running, and I don’t want every communication from us to have an ask included. I will continue to think about this, but in the meantime…
Our Latest Kickstarter!
The InSpectres Volume One (108 pages) - Supernatural Mystery
Here’s the info:
Set in England during the late Victorian era, famed author Arthur Conan Doyle must push aside his scepticism of the supernatural with the emergence of Spring-Heeled Jack, a mysterious phantom of urban legend.
This sets in motion the revival of The InSpectres, a secret society devoted to the investigation of the occult originally formed by Charles Dickens, and brings together, alongside Doyle, Harry Houdini, Bram Stoker and ten-year-old Agatha Christie to try and save London from a deadly, paranormal event.
It’s a lovely book by creators Jarod Hunter Roe and David R. Flores. If you like our ‘Powers Fearful & Divine’ this is probably up your street!
Check out the campaign using the button below.

Poll Time!
I’d love to know what you think about the possibility of combining new single issue comics into one KS campaign. The comics are not necessarily related. I’ve set up a poll that it’d be great if you could let me know your thoughts.
It’s Getting Hot in Here
We’ve just pulled the trigger on a brand new title - ‘Cool Air’ - a loose adaptation on Lovecraft’s short story. It’s going to be drawn by Daria Rattik, the colourist behind Gone #4, and I’ve got a page to show you below:
It’s going to be very ‘cool’.
A Branching Narrative Gamebook
We’re putting together a gamebook including the three adventures I wrote last year as part of the ‘A Branching Narrative’ newsletter.
Willi Roberts is sending through extra full page images for the book and I wanted to include a couple of them:
I’ll let you know when this goes live.
Busy Little Bees #2
We’ve got some of the inks back from Emiliano, so wanted to show you one of them.
Okay, that’s lots!
I hope you like the look of some of our upcoming projects!
If you haven’t taken the poll, I’d love to know your answers!
Speak soon and stay safe,
Simon
