Hello friends!

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know MANDRILL P.I. Issue #5 is live!

Click the covers above to check it out!

Super excited to share this issue with you. It’s chock full of mystery, action, thrills, and so much more! And if you missed out on any of the previous issues, now's the perfect chance to get caught up!

The intensity ratchets up to an 11 in this issue as MANDRILL P.I. and Ernie Elephant descend into the depths of the mad scientist's lair and encounter hordes of supernatural foes. Will they put an end to the villain, or will they fall victim to his wily schemes?

There's tons of variant covers (and metal covers!) by some amazing superstar artists.

And that's not all! Here's 2 more reasons to back day 1:

That's right! If you're a returning backer, cheers to you! Back at a physical level and receive your very own acrylic pin of MANDRILL P.I. "cheersing" with you. This is your chance to raise a glass to one another whenever your heart desires :)

ALSO, if you back at a physical level today at launch, you can get your hands on this amazing acrylic pin with art by returning cover artist, Core Lo! That's two exclusive pins for backing on day 1!

Your early pledge is vital for this campaign's success, even if it’s as little as $1. Anything matters, because the more backers we have, the more Kickstarter’s algorithm goes to work getting us in front of a wider audience (all of which will result in more stretch goal unlocks to make rewards even cooler)! And if you would share the project on your social feeds, it would make me the happiest guy in the whole world.

Thanks again for your support in bringing this grumpy little cartoon mandrill to life!

Week 3 Free Gift + Limited Time 33% Off Deal
11 months ago – Fri, Jun 02, 2023 at 03:42:35 PM

Hello again!

Got a couple huge announcements that I'm super excited to share with you about the new MANDRILL P.I. campaign [which you can check out by clicking here]. We're over 480% funded and deep into stretch goal territory and would love to have you aboard if you're not already.

First: our week 3 free gift to backers.

Click the image above to check it out

That's right! All who back before the end of the week will be receiving a free eBook copy of my piece Plug 'em Good. It's a Western ... in outer space.

What it's about: The sheriff murdered this space slug rancher's family. Now he's coming for revenge, and he'll slaughter anyone who stands in his way.

This free gift goes away on Sunday morning, so make sure you don't miss it.

Every week I'm bringing a new, limited time additional gift to backers. Sometimes these will be physical and sometimes these will be digital. But either way, they'll be exciting. So the earlier you back, the more cool stuff you get!

And now for something completely different.

This one is an add-on for the new campaign.

For the next 2 days only, physical copies of my comedic sci-fi series, The Multiverse Askew Trilogy, will be available as an add-on for 33% off! When you get to the add-ons section, simply look for the one that says "The Multiverse Askew Trilogy (33% Off)" and snag it before it's gone.

What's it about?

A mischief god. Reincarnated dictators. Cosmic teddy bears. The Multiverse is a weird place. Unfortunately, its fate lies in the hands of the laziest guy on Earth. We're in trouble...

We're also only 3 backers away from the next Milestone unlock, so be sure to keep spreading the word :)

Thank you again for backing MANDRILL P.I.!
