We're entering the final days of the backing of Perfect Crime Party, at 79% funding and 420 backers! (nice)

Thank you firstly to everyone who has already backed. We appreciate your efforts sharing this page as well to anyone who you think might love a little crime prime time, and we think you're going to love the variety in our upcoming print! You've still got time to choose a few extra goodies from our add-ons section as well if you were interested in pushing that pledge a little more. We've got one of our newest titles for selection for you to consider today: Failure to Launch!

It's easy to be disheartened when you only see the stories of success - history is written by the winners and sometimes just by the people who managed to make the most of an idea that they didn't start. For every story of triumph, there's a thousand stories of how a startup ended up as a Failure to Launch. This is an anthology of dreamers of human potential that didn't quite make the cut, but are still worth their stuff. That were too soon for their time. That maybe should have succeeded, or maybe it's really good they didn't succeed!

What should interest you about this? Perhaps you were raised with a fear of failure. Told that you could do anything, but faced with reality you realize it may not work out? But maybe you've also been surprised when told you've inspired someone. Or you remember someone whose failed efforts were enough to make you go 'I could do that'? That's the spark that makes others try - and makes you try again, yourself! But to begin, you must not be afraid to fail!

If you root for the underdog, this collection of over 30 comics about historical hopefuls will grip you! And maybe make you pick up that thing you thought was too hard juuuust one more time...

Any idea, failure or success, can lead to the future! Even yours! Below is The First Union by Harry Brewis (hbomberguy) and illustrated by Skutch, telling us the tale of the well-intentions of the spinning jenny, the embodiment of A Worker's Frustration, and what Luddites used to do to people who thought they were a class above their employees...

Hey again, everybody!

As we turn the corner into the final week of Perfect Crime Party on BackerKit, we've decided to sweeten the deal with two new add-ons!

The first: ANIMAL CRIME COMMISSIONS!

Cartoonist Cat Farris (Oni Press, Dark Horse Comics, IDW, and HarperAlley) will create, to your exacting standards, a 5" × 7" watercolor of an animal of your choice committing a (G-rated!!) crime!

Only 4 of these $200 commissions will be made available, and two are already spoken for! So don't miss your chance to commissions some cute crimes!

And the next: A Lovely Poison Print!

New York Times Bestselling writer, editor and artist Mariah McCourt has produced a beautiful, 8.5" x 11" companion print to Perfect Crime Party, suitable for framing in the kitchen! Let your guests know you're the keeper of that secret recipe for happy housewives since time immemorial!

Both of these goodies are now available in the Add-Ons section, and will ship with book orders!

Perfect Crime Party now has just NINE DAYS left to fund, folks, and we're asking you: Please spread the word! This is our toughest crowdfund in a dog's age, and it won't get over the line without your help! We're 75% of the way to goal, and sure could use an extra push!

Thanks, everybody!

We're just about 2 weeks from the end of backing at 386 backers so far! Holy hell, thank you all so much! Before you know it we'll be to 400! Please be sure to share this project with anyone whom you think might be interested to help us reach that goal! If you were interested you can also consider one or two of our additional goodies we've also got in stock.... 👇

Another anthology that you can add onto your order is You Died!, our collection of stories about the ever marching forward passage of time, and what happens to us after. Just in time for the spooky season!
Covering the only other thing guaranteed besides taxes, this is an extensive collection of 2 dozen cadaverous tales (24!), the combined effort of over 30 creators. Did I mention it's an Eisner Winner?!

There's a story for every part of death; what happens to our bodies once our consciousness vacates, the final moment of coming to terms with it being your turn to go before you are ready, even those that we end up trusting to continue on once we're gone! There's even one that takes place long after everyone who knows you is gone too!

Would you believe me if I told you I teared up at a couple of these? Because I am not being hyperbolic when I say there will be something within that relates to you. For death, after all, is one of two things we truly all have in common.

Below is one of the comics from within the anthology, I Promise by A. Shinozaki and Cheryl Young, showcasing the promises we keep with the departed.

Thank you to everyone who has already backed Perfect Crime Party so far! We're over 60% of the way there with 18 days to go!   

If we can get at least $5000 over the current goal we can also increase the page rate for our artists! Keep in mind that for every $5,000 over the funding goal we hit, the creators in Perfect Crime Party will get their page rate increased by $5! If you have any friends who loves a good mystery, be sure to share this page with them and ask if they can help back Perfect Crime Party as well, we'll truly appreciate it!

As you've seen, there's also a goodie bag of other titles for you to choose from and save a little on shipping when Perfect Crime Party reaches you. We think that if you like the thrill of crime you might love the chill of Tim'rous Beastie as well!

Tim'rous Beastie is a collection of 18 different tales of small, tailed creatures rising to the 4-legged occasion and evoking thought of the nature of being 'just a little guy in such a big world'.

Featuring a wide variety of semi-realistic and fantasy themed stories from the horrors of the cordyceps fungi to frogs in capes on their own little adventure, I'm sure you'll find something that draws you in to this title. There's just something about when a small creature holds a tiny sword that makes you root for them desperately, or maybe you're a fan of seeing animals share very human worries and problems!

Below is 10 pages of one of the stories from Tim'rous Beastie, A Pig Being Lowered Into Hell In a Bucket by KC Green, tempting you to yearn for something... more.
