Latest Updates from Our Project:

Glarien: Short and Deadly HC launching on Monday Feb 6th
about 1 year ago – Tue, Jan 31, 2023 at 08:40:04 AM

Hi Glarien fans,

In case you missed the news on our most recent Kickstarter update, we just wanted to drop a reminder here that next Monday we'll be going live with an all new Glarien Kickstarter.

This book will be a collection of eight Glarien short stories bound in a prestige format, oversized (11"x7.25") hardcover. It will include remastered versions of five of the digital short stories we've sent out to backers before and three all-new Glarien stories (including one from Conor Hughes). The book will also have pin-ups from some of the best established and upcoming talents in comics.

Clocking in a roughly 100 pages, this volume is  formatted to be the perfect companion to our White Ash Volume One Hardcovers.  Featuring three different dust jacket options, signed bookplates and limited sketch plate options by some of Glarien's most popular artists, you'll want to be there on day one to make sure you get your first pick of Glarien goodness and Early Bird rewards.

To make that easy for you, you can sign up here to be NOTIFIED WHEN WE GO LIVE.

One of the artists who's contributing a pin up to Short and Deadly is Anna Morozova, the illustrator of Glarien:Tavern Screams. I wanted to highlight Anna's story because for the first time ever in a White Ash Comics Kickstarter campaign, we'll be offering some of the original penciled pages up as a reward.  Anna's pencils on Tavern Screams were absolutely georgous.

So if you'd like a page of Glarien original art, make sure you're signed up to get first choice of those. If you'd like to read more about Anna and her work, she was the artist featured in our latest Newsletter. If you're not on our mailing list and would like to join, you can do that HERE.

Thank you again everyone for supporting our comics. 2022 was the biggest by far for White Ash Comics and we look forward to eclipsing that in 2023.

All the best,

Charlie, Conor, Romina, Fin and the rest of the White Ash Universe Team.

Last chance to get a 1st print of Glarien #1

Hi Glarien fans,

Thank you so much to all of you who've come back for issue #2.  The campaign continues to be on fire and is tracking to be our largest Glarien/ White Ash campaign yet.  We've unlocked a slew of stretch goals including another Glarien digital short story and this incredible throwback, Red Sonja inspired variant cover by Conor Hughes.

As backers of the first Glarien Campaign, I did want to give you a heads up, thanks to the incredible demand we've blown through our 3K first print run of Glarien and are down to our last few hundred copies of the first issue. As such, this campaign for issue 2 will be the last time copies of the first printing of #1 are available. Going forward, we'll doing a second printing with an all-new cover by Romina Moranelli.  So if you're a collector and only backed at a digital tier the first time around, this is your last chance to get a physical copy.

But again, thank you so much.  The enthusiasm for Glarien continues to be overwhelming. Romina, Conor, Fin and I are humbled by all the support. We really couldn't do any of this without you.

Best,

Charlie and the rest of Team Glarien (Conor, Fin and Romina)

Glarien SDCC Exclusive
over 1 year ago – Fri, Jul 01, 2022 at 07:37:40 PM

Hello Glarien fans,

We're getting closer to our Kickstarter return on July 11th (that's a week from Monday!!!) If you haven't had a chance to sign up for our prelaunch page, you can do so HERE. Signing up will make sure you're notified the moment we go live and give you the first crack at our limited edition rewards.  Speaking of... check out our SDCC Exclusive featuring a breathtaking cover by Liana Kangas. 

Liana Kangas SDCC Exclusive

This con exclusive of our 12 page Glarien: Truth in the Shadows comes in two different versions: a standard cover (print run of just 125) and an even more limited Gold Foil Logo version (print run of only 75).  

This exclusive also features an all-new Glarien Pin-up by Conor Hughes.

Since we know not everyone can make it to San Diego, and we didn't want to leave our loyal backers out in the cold, we'll be "buying up" some of the copies at the Con so we can offer them directly to you. We'll have a few available at launch and a few more after we return from the convention.  Each book comes with a COA and will be signed by Liana, Conor and Charlie.

But as I said at the top, these will be limited, and how many we have for sale will depend on quickly they move in San Diego.   So make sure you are signed up so you get first crack at these. 

And if you are going to be at San Diego Comic Con this month, PLEASE stop by and say hello. Charlie, Conor, Mick Beyers and even Liana Kangas will all be spending time at L-10 in the Small Press section.

Have a great weekend everyone. We'll be back soon with another cover reveal.


Best from Team Ash/Glarien (Charlie, Conor, Fin, Mick and Romina)
