MANDRILL P.I. Issue #4 is live!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Feb 03, 2023 at 07:59:04 AM

Hello friends!

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know MANDRILL P.I. Issue #4 is live!

Super excited to share this issue with you. It’s issue number 4 of 6, and that means it’s chock full of mystery, action, BBEG evil traps, and so much more!

Carlos and Lettersquids are back, and the art is better than ever. There are variant covers by some amazing artists, including Tin Bott and Core Lo. I also took a few of the highly limited variant covers from Issue #3 and had ultra-limited metal covers added to them—only 10 Marco Fontanili and 10 Santiago Latorre.

There are also a few of the metal Issue #2 variants left by Alex Cormack (only 10 of these in existence) and Ryan Dunlavey (only 5 of these in existence), which you can find in the add-on section.

My ask would be for you to back it at this time, 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.

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

Super excited to share this issue with you. It’s issue number 3 of 6, and that means it’s chock full of mystery, action, BBEG reveals, and so much more (including a touch of disgustingly silly elephant action)!

Carlos and Lettersquids are back, and the art is better than ever. There are 3 variant covers by some amazing artists, including Marco Fontanili. I also took a few of the highly limited variant covers from Issue #2 and had ultra-limited metal covers added to them—only 10 Alex Cormack and 5 Ryan Dunlavey metal cover versions will be in existence (you can find these in the add-on section).

The first MANDRILL P.I. novel is live across all major book retailers!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Aug 23, 2022 at 05:38:57 AM

The MANDRILL P.I. novel is now live across all major book distributors!

[CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT]

In the novel, the noir urban fantasy you love about the MANDRILL P.I. comic gets cranked up to an 11. If you're into werewolves, noir urban fantasy, Hellboy, or Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you'll love the book. If you missed the Kickstarter, now's the chance to hop aboard (and if you backed the Kickstarter, your name's in the back of the ebook! So cool!)

The first days of launch are vital to the novel's success. And the Amazon algorithm is the most important one to prime on release day. [CLICK HERE FOR A LINK TO GO DIRECTLY THERE]

If you’ve read the book already, posting a review is incredibly helpful. The more reviews the book has, the more people are likely to read it.

Speaking of reviews, here's what readers have said thus far:

Finally, if you are willing to share the link to the book on social media, that would be amazing: https://cbrimmage.com/mpinovel1

Thanks so much!
