The Few and Cursed

Created by Felipe Cagno

Welcome to The Few and Cursed & Timberwolf Entertainment online store! Please scroll down for all our titles including digital editions of sold out books like both the 321: Fast Comics. The Few and Cursed is a creator-owned comic book series about people trying to survive a world where most of the water was just gone overnight in a mysterious apocalyptic event in 1840. People turned to dark arts, old tales of mischief and curses to survive. But for every darkness there is also light - and among the few and cursed are those willing to fight to bring balance to the lands: the Curse Chasers.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

$38K Stretch Goal UNLOCKED and ART PREVIEWS for some of the unlocked items!
over 7 years ago – Wed, Nov 07, 2018 at 07:36:42 PM


Hey there you gang of misfits!

AIN'T YOU GUYS THE BEST BACKERS IN THE WORLD OR WHAT?!?!

We've unlocked yet another Stretch Goal so now every backer pledging for a physical reward to be sent in the mail will also get three postcards to be picked by all of you through a poll at a later date!


We've got less than 30 hours left on the clock! Can we unlock more content!?

I believe so!!

Especially because the next Stretch Goal at $40K is a second collectible coin to match the first we've produced for the previous Kickstarter!!


There's plenty of time left on the clock, we can go all the way to at least $45K yet. We can and will find more backers that will push us further but you guys are the SECRET WEAPON.

Digital tier backers can always upgrade to a print tier and get in on the action. All our Unlocked Stretch Goal items will be mailed to EVERY backer regardless whether you are getting just Issue #5, the Chronicles, or any TFAC past issue or bundle, doesn't matter. The perks are for everyone!

Bottom line is you will be paying an extra few dollars for a package that includes cards, mini-prints, postcards, a collectible coin (hopefully!), a second comic book in Ashcan format and bookmark. Not too shabby, right?

LAST CHANCE TO GET THE KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE EDITION!!

Work in progress sneak peek at Clonerh's artwork for the back-cover - exclusive to the Kickstarter edition!

Backers can also up their pledges for the Kickstarter Exclusive edition which brings me to an important point:

The Kickstarter Exclusive Edition will NOT be available as an add-on or upgrade on BackerKIt. It is exactly what it is: the Kickstarter Edition is exclusive to Kickstarter only.

Clock is ticking and if you are thinking about getting the Kickstarter Exclusive Edition with its own back-cover art and Chromium finish, THIS IS IT!!!

CHRONICLES OF THE FEW AND CURSED


We've got some new backers that have no clue what Chronicles of The Few and Cursed is and you guys might want to add that to your pledges as well...

Chronicles is a full-color 96-page anthology bringing eight new stories - 2 featuring the Redhead - set in the same Few and Curse universe. We used this anthology to introduce new characters and elements to the mythos and we got quite the team of artists to contribute their vision.


 


 


These are all panels from the actual stories produced by some of the biggest names in comics like Andrew Dalhouse, Luke Ross, José Luís, Geraldo Borges and more!

To add Chronicles to your pledge just adjust the amount by following the values below:

- Chronicles Regular cover -----> $25 + S/H ($4 - US or $12 international)
- Chronicles Variant cover ------> $35 + S/H ($4 - US or $12 international)
- Chronicles Reg Hardcover ----> $35 + S/H ($6 - US or $15 international)
- Chronicles Var Hardcover -----> $45 + S/H ($6 - US or $15 international)
- Chronicles in Digital format ----> $5


 


Stay tuned for news, keep spreading the word about The Few and Cursed #5 and let's make these last few hours count, shall we!?

Don't forget we have TWO BONUS GOALS happening as well!

PHASE I UNLOCKED! Bring on the PREMIUM Stretch Goals \o/
over 7 years ago – Tue, Nov 06, 2018 at 11:06:04 AM


Alright, alright, alright... THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! Holy smokes, I'm at a loss for words. Even though we could all expect to reach $30K after that overwhelming start, never would I bet we were going to do it so soon.

You guys... you did this. From the bottom of my heart filled with gratitude, thank you.


Yes, the Kickstarter Edition will now be printed with a gorgeous CHROMIUM shiny effect!!! It's more bling for your buck \o/ 


I hope I can honor your pledges and commitment by sharing the ultimate PREMIUM stretch goals now. Let Phase II and the ultimate fun begin!!!!

I've tried to come up with extras that I would be into if I was a backer. I'm a sucker for old-school games, I love collecting cards and just the thought of producing a second coin really starting a collectible set gets me worked up. Please check out the goals below and share your thoughts in the comments:


Just to illustrate a few points:

  •  The coin is rendered in 3D, printed and then gets an antiqued brass finish. This should go beautiful with the coin we've produced on The Few and Cursed #4 Kickstarter
  • The metal cards are actually printed on thin aluminum plates so they are actual metal cards. I've never done this myself but I've seen it done and they look fantastic
  • What if The Few and Cursed had been released in the 90's as a SNES game? Well, I hope to imagine this answer by shipping a "build-it-yourself" carton game box with original art and design replicating in detail the SNES games from back in the day. We did this for my other series and it looked phenomenal!
  • Last but not least the lenticular rewards. I've never done it but I have confidence our new vendor can deliver something as gorgeous as the covers DC Comics have been putting out there.
This is the Collectible Coin #1 available as add-on if you missed out on it in our previous Kickstarter.

Yes, I've commissioned a Pixel Art professional to do the SNES screen caps! How fun would it be to see the Redhead in 16-bit?!

I sincerely hope we get to unlock every Phase II stretch goal as well, that would be absolutely mind-blowing! And we can all do it together - whether it's by upping your pledges to include add-ons or helping us spread the word, there's much left for everyone to do :D

And let's not forget on top of the newly presented Stretch Goals, we also have our TWO BONUS GOALS:

There ya go, folks, lots and lots of news to celebrate this important victory! Once again thank you all so much for the support and let's keep this train going :D

As always if you've got any questions, critiques or feedback please do not hesitate to shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] or simply reply this update.

over 7 years ago – Tue, Nov 06, 2018 at 10:34:59 AM


YES, YES, YES!

Thank you all so much, I really mean it, thank you, thank you, thank you! We've officially unlocked another Stretch Goal \o/

We will be getting a brand new and exclusively commissioned artwork for the back-cover of issue #5 by HOANG NGUYEN


That's right, we're going into our FINAL DAYS and chasing a number of fantastic extra items and collectibles yet - and that's on top of the TWO BONUS GOALS that we're working towards as well.

If you are wondering what else you can do to help, well...

There are a few ways we can still drive this forward all the way up to $50K. First and foremost you guys can help spread the word about The Few and Cursed and unlock something pretty awesome along the way.

Alright, this is by my good friend Ron Randall and it's for those sci-fi fans out there that like a classical space tale with a twist!

From their own Kickstarter page: "TREKKER: THE DARKSTAR ZEPHYR is an all-new, 96-page (at least!) graphic novel written, drawn and colored by me— Ron Randall. It continues the story of Mercy St. Clair— a tough-as-nails "Trekker", or 23rd century bounty hunter. Filled with classic sci-fi action and adventure, colorful characters and exotic settings, this book is an excellent introduction to Mercy's world for new readers, and a thrilling return visit for long-time fans."

Officially kicking off Phase 2: $33K Stretch Goal unlocked!!!!
over 7 years ago – Thu, Nov 01, 2018 at 05:41:51 AM


Howdy, folks!

We're officially into Phase II territory as we've unlocked the first of a new series of Stretch Goals!! With a little over a week left on this Kickstarter, how far do you think we are gonna go!?



I wanted to take this opportunity to yet THANK EVERYONE AGAIN for the awesome support you've been throwing The Few and Cursed.  I cannot wait to see how many other cool collectibles we unlock!

And yes, that includes our BONUS STRETCH GOALS because come on, we can do this, we're THIS close:


To unlock the metal card just Like and Share THIS POST RIGHT HERE on Facebook and at 1.200 likes and 150 shares every backer pledging for any print copy of the book will get an actual METAL card all shiny by a master digital painter added to their rewards!

The post is already at over 850 likes and 95 shares...


In anticipation of reaching 1.200 backers - which I'm very confident about - Jomar and I went ahead and developed the 9-card set showcasing the Crows' unique abilities in a gorgeous poster art:

 
I hope you guys are just as excited as I am moving forward. Please continue sharing the word about the Redhead and The Few and Cursed, our continued success depends on it \o/

One of the things I'm working on my end is cross-promotion with some really cool creators. I think this is a fantastic way to show community spirit and get as many people involved. So without further ado:

PROJECT(S) SPOTLIGHT

ANGELICA REIGNS: THE FAITH #1-3


Kickstarter Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/782290703/angelica-reigns-the-faith-1-3

Marcel has been a long-time collaborator. We've cross-promoted a couple of times in the past before and it was always very successful. They are going into their LAST 24HRS with their original goal already met.

The art is gorgeous, the writing is great and I really think you should all pay it a visit. From their own page: "Angelica struggles to be normal, to be the average twenty something… She does so because, frankly, she’s not normal: Angelica Reigns has a destiny and it seems like no matter what she does or how far she runs, it’s impossible to escape who she is."

METAL MILITIA COMIC #2


Kickstarter Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1457867026/metal-militia-comic-2/

Hoang Nguyen is an amazing artist. I've been a huge fan of his work ever since I read Carbon Grey on Comixology - it went on to get published by Image Comics eventually - and it's pretty cool to see him paying homage to 90's comics both in his new art style and the writing.

They are going into their last ten days and still looking to hit their original goal. Oh, also, don't be surprised if eventually you see the Redhead through Hoang's eyes and art style.... ;)

DEAD VILLAINS SOCIETY


What is it? 

It's something really cool in indie comics that Nick Macari is putting together and that I'm totally on board! We will reveal it on Nov. 3rd through a newsletter so if you are curious about it make sure to sign up:

http://eepurl.com/dKaif6

Thanks so much for all the support, my friends, let's keep the momentum going for the last few days and bring on the gold :D

Cheers!
Felipe

P.S.: This just came in... it's the Halloween print available as an add-on or included in some of our tiers ;)

That's another Stretch Goal UNLOCKED! How about a couple of surprises to celebrate?
over 7 years ago – Sun, Oct 21, 2018 at 04:02:03 PM


BOOM-BOOM-BOM!

That's one more Stretch Goal behind us, holy smokes, how far can we continue to drive this Kickstarter!? 

The Kickstarter Exclusive edition just got itself a brand new artwork by none other than Clonerh for the back-cover!!


Now I think it's time we make it all shiny just like we did with issues #3 and #4 by adding a Holofoil Chromium finish.

We're less than $1,200 from the final and chromium Stretch Goal - perfect timing for that upgrade from the regular edition, huh? 

What do you guys say!? Are we doing this???


And don't forget once we get to $30K we've officially unlocked every Stretch Goal planned for Phase I. That's right... let it sink in... Phase... one...

BRING ON THE PHASE 2 STRETCH GOALS \o/


And just to give a little taste of things to come, how about we kick things off with a couple of extra goals?

These are not Stretch Goals, they are Bonus hits based on performance ;)

THE 1.200 BACKERS CHALLENGE


Last time the challenge was get to 1.000 backers. How about we take this to the next level and make it a real beast?!

If and when we reach 1.200 backers every single backer pledging for a physical reward to be sent in the mail will also get a 9-card set with Chromium finish by Upper Deck & Cryptozoic Artist JOMAR BULDA!!
