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:

BackerKit Surveys coming up plus Digital files!
about 7 years ago – Wed, Feb 06, 2019 at 12:11:59 AM

.

Hiya folks!

A lot of you guys already know, being repeat backers, that The Few and Cursed #4 had numerous printing problems that delayed production in an unforeseen way that costs us a lot of time. I've been focusing all my energy in fulfilling that Kickstarter before giving this one my full attention.

.

I'm happy to finally announce we're almost done with TFAC #4 fulfillment and issue #5 is about 75% complete. Here are some dates as we finally move forward:

- Feb. 18th: I expect to have BackerKit surveys complete and on the way to you folks. This is a key step in fulfilling your rewards as the surveys give me the exact count of items to produce and also is the only way to download your digital copies.

- March 1st: Issue #5 will be complete by then and going to print. We will also be immediately fulfilling all digital rewards at this point.

- End of April / Early May: I'll get the printed materials from the printer and commence fulfillment.

- End of May: Fulfillment complete.

.

Unfortunately as it so happens we will be four to six weeks late on delivery but as you peek through the previews I really hope the extra wait is over. Fabiano and I apologize for the delay but we will always value quality over crunch time so we really allowed ourselves to do our best work without rushing.

As we're already wrapping up the artwork I don't expect any more delays on the dates above and there's a slight chance we might be able to move them up if we go to print earlier - it will all depend on how fast I can conclude the previous Kickstarter.

.

As always if anyone has any questions or critiques feel free to shoot me a message right here on Kickstarter or email at [email protected].

You guys can also find me on Facebook and Instagram and please go over to The Few and Cursed official Facebook page and give it a like ;)

Thank you all so much for your patience and support!

Best,

Felipe

New PDF delivery date plus Sneak Peeks and what to expect in 2019!
about 7 years ago – Tue, Dec 18, 2018 at 01:01:44 AM


Howdy, everyone! How is everyone doing?!

I just wanted to reach out one last time before the Holidays to offer one more Production Update. 

We just had Comic Con Experience in São Paulo - Brazil (now officially the world's biggest convention as far as square footage and attendance with a whopping 260,000 people across four days!!) and that derailed us a little bit as far production on book 5.

It is not a significant delay as far as going to print but I'm afraid we won't be sharing digital files until next month.

THE DIGITAL COPIES WILL GO OUT IN JANUARY, 2019.

It is still a delay since I know some of you were already anxiously waiting to read issue #5 over the break but as always Fabiano and I will value quality over time any day of the week.

And you can tell from the previews below that quality is the rule of thumb of this comic, I mean, the level of detail Fabiano has been putting on these pages are just overwhelming:


The artwork is coming along quite nicely and I sincerely expect to continue going to print in mid-January - again: when I'll also be sending the PDFs to every backers as well.

Some, if not most, around here already know how hard it's been to work with our series' past printer but I wanted to assure all of you we have switched printers and the new vendor has just been extremely professional and on time. Those are good news when we do finish the art.


All the other rewards are currently in production at different stages each but none have suffered any delays as of right now. By the time we go to print in January I fully expect to be ready to start shipping out your rewards by the end of March.

Here's a sneak peek at the double-sided bookmark by Lauren Marshall and Vinicius Townsend:


THE FEW AND CURSED IN 2019 - WHAT TO EXPECT!

Oh we have a very special year ahead of us and Fabiano and myself couldn't be more thrilled. 

We'll kick off the year with the release of the deck-building BOARD GAME by Rock Manor Games which is coming along just beautifully with a fantastic game design by Mike Gnade.


The game will feature brand new and exclusively commissioned 100+ pieces of artwork by master comic artists like Luke Ross, Will Conrad, Harvey Tolibao, Guilherme Balbi, Jean Diaz, Santtos, Marcio Menyz, Dijjo Lima and many more!

We're really excited about the game as we will be using it to expand the ever-growing Redhead universe \o/


We will also launch the Kickstarter for the Crows of Mana'Olana season finale (issue #6!!!) on the first semester of 2019 with a Kickstarter exclusive cover by Animosity's artist RAFAEL DELATORRE with colors by JUAN FERNANDEZ!


The second semester holds a few surprises as well - chief among them the release of an ART BOOK collecting several pin-ups we've done over the years for the series. 

The book will bring exclusive and never seen before art including sneak peeks at preliminary art, sketches, black and white versions of fully colored pieces and yes, even brand new content by top creators!


I hope you guys enjoyed all the eye-candy from this last 2018 update and I will be back in touch early next year.

As always if anyone has any questions or critiques feel free to shoot me a message right here on Kickstarter or email at [email protected].

Happy Holidays!

Production Update with Sneak Peeks!
over 7 years ago – Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 10:06:36 PM


Hey guys!

It's been about three weeks since we wrapped up the Kickstarter, funds have been transferred and now it's time to roll up or sleeves and get this issue to print \o/

We've been getting some pin-ups completed for the Gallery at the end of the book and Fabiano is about 3/4 done with the pages. It's looking great, I honestly think this might be our best book yet. 


Tiago has just started on the colors and we're going well into December with production. We will have a break for the holidays but looks like we're right on track to go to print in mid to late January.

BackerKit surveys and any add-ons you guys might like to include in your packages will happen in January. It's important for me to get the surveys prior to sending files to our printer so we get all the quantities just right.

Most of the items unlocked are already in production and from where we are right now there shouldn't be any delays moving forward.

Last but not least I wanted to thank you all again for an unbelievable Kickstarter, it's very exciting to be working on this knowing so many people put their faith in us.

Please excuse me for the radio silence in the next few weeks. I will be in touch again in January when BackerKit surveys are ready to be sent out.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Destiny Aurora Continues 


Kickstarter Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1169263915/destiny-aurora-comic-issues-4-and-5

Frank approached me during the last few days of The Few and Cursed #5 Kickstarter and was of tremendous help getting us further into our stretch goals. I'd love to return the favor by featuring issues 4 and 5 of his universe DESTINY HORIZONS.

The book looks absolutely professional with gorgeous art and not only that they have also done a board game complete with miniatures which is also available along with previous issues.

From their own page: "Destiny Aurora is the story of Jayce Carver, a broken man, whose life was turned upside down when his senatorial wife was assassinated while he was tasked with protecting her. Spiraling into oblivion, Jayce becomes reclusive until his friend offers him a job as a Coalition Inspector. Still wracked by guilt and known for his reckless demeanor, he's assigned a crew no one else wants. Now, after five years, he has finally tracked down the assassin."

That's all for now, folks.

But remember, if anyone has any questions or critiques feel free to shoot me a message right here on Kickstarter or email at [email protected].

Cheers!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! What an awesome Kickstarter \o/
over 7 years ago – Thu, Nov 08, 2018 at 01:09:21 AM


WOOT, WOOT, WOOT! PAT YOURSELVES IN THE BACK BECAUSE YOU ALL DESERVE HIGH PRAISE FOR THE BIGGEST TFAC KICKSTARTER EVER!!!

We didn't quite get to our next Stretch Goal at $42K, we will have to save that mysterious Artist Metal Collectible Card #1 for the next one, but at this point, does it matter?

We were up for a few Stretch Goals on top of that one in these last 24 hours though, let's see how we did now that time's up:


We were aiming to get 1.2K likes and 150 shares on Facebook to unlock the above Stretch Goal but unfortunately that didn't happen, we got enough shares (right on 150!!) but we were more than 120 likes away from the goal...

No reason to be sad though because:


That's right! We might not have reached 1.200 backers but damn it if we didn't get close enough and let's face it, this was by far the most thrilling, awesome and jaw-dropping Kickstarter I've ever put together and the reason is YOU. 

And that's more than enough reason to celebrate and acknowledge!

You guys pledged, upgraded those pledges, really went above and beyond to unlock so much cool stuff. I can never thank you enough for the support and sheer amount of love for The Few and Cursed saga.

So everyone pledging towards a physical reward will get this gorgeous set of cards:


On behalf of Fabiano and I, here's our most sincere and heartfelt THANKS to all of you that believed on the Redhead and her adventures! We will do our best to honor this commitment in every reward we produce from the comic book (both in color and the ashcan B/W version) all the way up to the cards!

I will be regularly updating you guys though as we move along production and get closer to our delivery date but feel free to shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] or follow me on the following social networks:

I love hearing from you all, "my door is always open" and once again thank you so much for your support and pledge.

CHEERS!

RED WILL RETURN IN THE SPRING FOR THE FINAL CROWS ISSUE...

This is officially the most successful Few and Cursed Kickstarter to date! $40K UNLOCKED!
over 7 years ago – Wed, Nov 07, 2018 at 10:39:03 PM


BOOYA!!!

And we did it, we unlocked the second collectible coin at $40K. How awesome is that?! 

That should go pretty well with the first coin unlocked at the Kickstarter for issue #4 which, by the way, I just got this amazing photo before they shipped out:


If any of you new backers want to add the above coin to pair it with the new one, these can be added on to any pledge for $10 each.

Onwards to the next stretch goal and to 1.200 backers!!!


Yep, that's an actual metal card. We will be printing the artwork on a thin aluminum sheet, should look absolutely stunning!!

And we're not too far away from 1.200 backers as well. We're literally 77 backers away from our goal. Can we find 77 good souls out there!? Have you shared The Few and Cursed with friends and family???

Have you Liked and Shared the post on Facebook that's currently at 1,056 likes and 133 shares and if it reaches 1,200 likes and 150 shares we will unlock a SECOND metal card?

Bottom line is we have less than 10 hours left on the clock and there's still plenty we can unlock. Best of luck to all of us and thank you all for the MOST AWESOME FEW AND CURSED KICKSTARTER EVER!

Hoang Nguyen is a phenomenal artist and a good friend. He's even doing a special Redhead artwork for Issue #5 so I really wanted to share his Kickstarter one more time with you guys to see whether we can help him get to 100%.

Just hit the link above and check out his love letter to comics from the 90s \o/

Thanks so much for everything. This has been a heck of a Kickstarter, a lot of fun, the interaction with you has been fantastic and I couldn't be happier with the unlocked items.
