Project Update: Slipcase proof has arrived!

Hi everyone!
Hope you're having a good remainder of the summer -- we've been traveling a lot these past several weeks, first to San Diego Comic-Con (where we won an EISNER AWARD for our Dracula/Frankenstein slipcase design!), then to GenCon in Indianapolis... it was quite a whirlwind tour, and an exhausting one! Fortunately we didn't come back with COVID like too many people we know... but we did comeback to a package from the printer handling ASTER OF PAN: THE SOURCE, and it included a proof of the Slipcase Box!

It turned out great! Just check out these pix!

The spot gloss really POPS

The box has a textured cover, a bit like painted wood!

The above photo shows the sturdy cardboard filler that will help the empty boxes keep their shape (for those of you who ordered empty slipcases). These sturdy loops of board are a lot less complicated than styrofoam filler as originally described during the campaign -- they're cleaner, lighter, less expensive, and a LOT more environmentally friendly than styrofoam. These will do as good a job protecting the box shape as foam, trust us. 😎

We'll share more pix once we have some of the other items to show. The books are printing now, and we might have some advance copies in early September to show off. If everything goes as planned, we should hopefully have everything in mid/late-October so that we can start shipping in November! STAY TUNED!


Thanks again for your wonderful support! 😁

crossing fingers and toes 🤞 "If everything goes as planned, we should hopefully have everything in mid/late-October so that we can start shipping in November!" could you change the TIMELINE shown in the Main Page of the Campaign? it is currently saying : "We aim to have all items in our hands in late September so that we can begin fulfilling orders in September/October." thanks

Hi Sonse! Unfortunately we can't change the campaign page now that it has ended. We'll keep posting updates as we go however!
