Hi everyone, hope you're all doing OK? I wanted to share a few updates with you:
Reanimator Inc. #1 Deliveries
It's been a month and a half since we shipped Chapter One, so if you've not received your copy please let me know. We've had a couple get damaged and lost in the post which has created some delays, but from feedback, it sounds like 99% of you have your copies and are enjoying them.
Reanimator Inc. #2 Work in Progress
Chapter #2 is with the editor!! I'm expecting another round of updates to the script, however the intention is to start artwork in the new year targeting a summer 2021 release...
Cthulhu Posters
Those of you who back the deluxe package received an A5 print of 'The Call of Cthulhu' from Chris Holmes. We've produced a sample batch of A2 prints which look absolutely stunning, so now we'll be launching a Kickstarter soon to produce a full run. Check out some images below and keep an eye out for updates on a release date...
Kickstarter Recommendations
Two Kickstarters definitely worthy of recommendation (I'm a backer myself, so my money is where my mouth is ;-))
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Concertina Book
From the artist of Reanimator Incorporated, Lyndon's latest concertina has just over a week left after smashing its target.
Lyndon's also producing an A2 print of the cover, which looks stunning!
You can get to the campaign here.
The Shadow Over Innsmouth Part 1 - Lovecraft's Classic Tale
Next up, is prolific producer, Simon Birks of Blue Fox comics, with another take on a Lovecraft classic.
Robert Olmstead takes a diversion to the port of Innsmouth for the architecture, but quickly finds himself in a battle for his life.
Lyndon's doing the lettering on this one too - guess there's no stopping him!

That's all for now. Thank you for reading, and we'll be in touch with more news in the next few weeks.

Lyndon's New Book - Frankenstein Concertina
almost 4 years ago

Hey everyone,
The vast majority of you should now have your copies of Reanimator. Thank you all again for supporting the project and I hope you like what myself and Andy have created. Andy is currently busy working on the script for Chapter Two and I'm looking forward to diving into drawing new pages early next year.
On another note, I wanted to give you all a quick update on my new concertina book based on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Concertina books are A5, fold out art books that can be read like a normal book or displayed as a piece of artwork, telling the story through a series of illustrations.
I try to create one of these books each year based on a classic story (usually horror). In previous years I've tackled Dracula, Dante's Inferno, The Call of Cthulhu and The World of the Worlds, which we offered as add-ons during the Reanimator campaign. Frankenstein is my return to gothic horror and seems like a good story choice, as Frankenstein directly influenced Lovecraft's work on Reanimator.
If you are interested, please check out the campaign and support if you can via the link. We launched at 11am (UK time) and are already 50% funded! There's copies of the book, prints, commissions and bundle encase you missed out on the previous concertinas and want to check them out.

Thank you all again for your support and I hope to see some of you on the Frankenstein campaign.
All the best,
Lyndon
Deliveries updates

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give a quick update on deliveries, especially to the US and Canada.
All US and CA parcels were bulk shipped to the US for re-distribution (4 x 30kg boxes) - they fortunately arrived a few days ago, but some boxes were a little worse for wear as they'd been subjected to a customs inspection and not correctly re-sealed.
Everything will be checked over this weekend and should be received over the next week.
We've also had a few reports of ripped and torn packages, or other customs inspections which has led to some items going missing.
This is really frustrating and upsetting for all concerned, so please get in touch with us if you feel something is missing, hasn't turned up, or has been damaged.
On the good news front, we've had some really encouraging and supportive feedback from those who have received their parcels which makes all the hard work worthwhile.
Even more lessons learnt for Chapter 2, but unless anyone can help with intrusive customs inspections I may have to carry that stress for the rest of the series :-/
Hope you're all staying safe and well!
Andy
