Hello, Monster Maniacs! We got some monstrously great news from our printer this morning! The beautiful hardcover Black Book: The Art of Graham Nolan has been printed and is on a truck, headed to our offices now! Monster Island has also been printed, and is now in the binding stage. A separate binding facility had to be hired, due to the large size of the volume. Once binding is complete, Monster Island will also be shipped to us. As soon as we’ve got both books in hand, we’ll start fulfillment, and get your books on the way to you! Original art rewards have all been completed by Graham, and will ship with your books.

We expect digital rewards to be ready just after Christmas. We’ll update you again when they’ve been sent out.

As a little bonus, here’s a sneak peek of Claymore from Graham’s upcoming Return to Monster Island! Happy holidays, everyone!

Ron Marz and Darryl Banks' HARKEN'S RAIDERS

Hi, Monster Maniacs,

Our mission at Ominous Press is to empower creators. In that spirit, we are happy to announce that we recently launched an exciting project by the legendary Green Lantern Emerald Twilight creative team of writer Ron Marz and artist Darryl Banks. They have joined forces once again to tell a story of World War 2 heroism and adventure in HARKEN'S RAIDERS. The project also includes the first collection of Darryl Banks' artwork, BLACK BOOK: THE ART OF DARRYL BANKS!

Harken’s Raiders in LIVE NOW on Kickstarter!

Famed for creating Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, writer Ron Marz and artist Darryl Banks are again teaming for a tale of heroes facing long odds and implacable enemies. Measuring roughly 9x13 inches HARKEN'S RAIDERS is a 64-page hardcover classic World War 2 adventure created by Army vet Allen Cordrey, as Captain Harken leads a crack Special Operations Executive team of American commandos behind enemy lines. The mission: retrieve a German scientist who holds the key to stopping the Nazi war machine, and safely escort him to England. The problem: everything goes wrong, and Harken's men find themselves in the fight of their lives!

Offered along with HARKEN'S RAIDERS is the first career-spanning art collection from comics master Darryl Banks. BLACK BOOK: THE ART OF DARRYL BANKS contains more than 100 pages of artwork and commentary culled from Darryl's files. Measuring roughly 8.5x11 inches, the hardcover volume features classic comic images, sequential pages, private commissions, and much more, most of it never published before. This the next volume in the ongoing Black Book Series by Ominous Press.

Thanks for your continuing support.

Hi, Monster Maniacs,

Straight from the color conjuration chamber of Nanjan Jamberi comes the colored versions of pin-ups from Tom Richmond, Lee Weeks and Bart Sears. Feast your eyes on these impressive and disturbing pieces of horrific artwork.

These grotesque beauties are the FINAL pin-up pieces to get colored, and we’re genuinely excited to announce them!

On the printing front, we expect to have printing proofs back from our printer soon. Once received, Graham can give his final blessing for printing to continue and then it’s off to the races! This means that you can expect to be getting BackerKit surveys in short order as well! Once released, we’ll update you all once more to be on the lookout!

Thanks again for all of your support!
