An unforgettable epic, the work of a lifetime, is finally collected in an ultimate, six-part library! Visionary. Maverick. Rebel. Master storyteller. Iconoclast. Genius. Jack Katz has been called all of these things since he began his illustrated magnum opus in 1974, creating a tale that follows in the vein of a futuristic, post-civilization The Odyssey or The Iliad!

Now, exclusively from Titan Comics, comes this long-lost treasure from a golden age in comics creation - as it's never been seen before. Remastered and packed with exclusive features, this sumptuous volume collects the first part of a tale for which the term 'epic' was invented! After nuclear armageddon devastates the Earth, the survivors become playthings of resurgent 'gods'. As civilisations rise and fall, as loves and lives are lost, the future of humanity will be won by uncovering the secrets of the past.

The First Kingdom is presented here in a complete collectors' library for the first time, replete with cleaned and restored art taken from high-resolution scans of the original art pages, and completely relettered throughout. Comprising six volumes in total, each book also includes features on the history of the strip, as well as all-new introductions by Jack Katz and his many industry fans!

That's the dilemma facing three people who've contracted the G+ Virus, a terrifying new STD. What can graphic designer Verity, failing indie guitarist Weasel and roguish media personality Monty do in the time they have left? Fade away - or go out in a blaze of glory?

By turns funny, dark, sad and spectacular, Death Sentence is an emotional thrill ride through celebrity, loss, passion and creativity. It's the jaw-dropping next stage in superpowered storytelling!

Packed with unforgettable shocks, quotable dialogue and the character finds of a generation, this is an unmissable debut by two striking and confident new voices!

I'm running an Indie Go Go campaign for our new book, Monstrosity. Think monsters and mayhem and you get a good sense of the book.

We've brought together some brilliant talent in the collection. J. Bone (IDW's The Rocketeer), Shawn Aldridge (IGN Editor's Choice, A Best of 2011, and the Stumptown Comicfest's Reader's Choice Award for his Vic Boone series) and Michael Walsh (IDW's The X-Files and Image's Comeback) to name a few.

We've 11 days left and are still short of our funding goal for the print run. I wish it was on Kickstarter but that option is unavailable to us folks north of the 49th. Any help getting out the word would be hugely appreciated! It could really us more eyes from our neighbours to the south on it.

Thanks guys,
