Hi,

I hope you’re well.

If you’re reading this you’ve supported Blue Fox in many ways, and that’s very much appreciated.

We’ve been creating comics since 2015, running over 50 Kickstarter campaigns - I’ve stuffed a lot of envelopes and sent out a lot of PDFs over that time.

So, what makes this the most important email?

Antarctica #1

Today, my first ever Image/Top Cow comic goes on pre-order.

Pre-Order Antarctica #1

Stargate meets His Dark Materials in a new non-stop sci-fi action blockbuster!

Hannah's life imploded the day her father failed to return from the secretive Smith-Petersen Research Station in Antarctica. Alone and on the street, she's at her lowest ebb when a friend offers help. Retrained as an engineer, Hannah secures a job at the same Antarctic station to search for her father and stumbles headfirst into a conspiracy that threatens everything she's ever believed.

It’s an amazing and slightly surreal feeling, and I’m incredibly excited for people to read this story. Willi Roberts (The Cult of Pajoli, Clodagh, The Thing on the Doorstep) has created the beautiful art, with Lyndon White (Sparks and the Fallen Star, Hexes: Waking Nightmare, The Call of Cthulhu Concertina) on letters and the first variant cover. It was always my plan, if I ever had this opportunity, to bring people who’ve worked on Blue Fox books and comics with me.

First Impressions Count…

…which is what makes this email important. Antarctica is now available for pre-order online and from your local comic shop. There are buttons below to allow you to pre-order it.

The first issue needs to sell well to make a big splash. It’s like backing on day one of the Kickstarter, so…

If you can pre-order the book in any way, I’d very much appreciate you doing so. I know money is tight at the moment, so don’t feel you have to.

Pre-Order Antarctica #1 - Cover A

Pre-Order Antarctica #1 - Cover B

If you’d like to let me know you’ve pre-ordered it, it’d be great to hear!

Speak soon and stay safe,

Simon

That’s great to hear Simon, all the very best with it. I’ll get my comic dealer to get me a copy each month,
