And we are........... 100% FUNDED!!!! And that's thanks to all you wonderful backers!!!!! Can't tell you enough how grateful I am that you all pledged your hard-earned cash towards our comic!
Quick shout out to Peter in Hawaii, who increased his pledge, just so we could hit our funding target. Extremely generous of Peter, who was also a backer of The Resurrected.
I'm excited to finally announce our first stretch goal - ALL physical backers will receive an exclusive art print from Lucy Sullivan if we hit 4000 euros! Digital tier backers will receive a digital version of the print. I'm not sure what drawing Lucy has up her sleeve yet, but I'm 100% certain it will be something special :)
Lucy is from the UK and is the writer/artist of the smash-hit graphic novel 'Barking.' Not only is Barking an incredible piece of work, but it's themes and atmosphere tie in closely with those of Murky Waters. I absolutely recommend you read it. Lucy is also the artist on the upcoming comic IND-XED (with Fraser Campbell - a sincerely brilliant writer - check out his comics here - https://alexautomaticblog.wordpress.com/) and is currently drawing a short story for the hit anthology series Razorblades.

Thanks again for all your support!

Hope everyone had an excellent weekend.
It was an excellent week for MURKY WATERS, and we're now sitting on 83% funded with three weeks to go. The first week is always the best week though so there's still a lot of lot hard work to do if we're going to push towards stretch goals. I'm feeling confident though as the support so far has been phenomenal.
In more good news, Kickstarter has named the MURKY WATERS campaign as a 'project we love.' It's a massive honour and hopefully it will generate some additional interest. It's thanks to all of you early backers that the staff at Kickstarter recognised the merits of our project. So thank you for believing in us!
Thanks again to everyone for their support and I cannot wait to get MURKY WATERS into your hands!
47% funded after 48 hours! Thank you!!!!!

Hello backers!
We're 48 hours into the campaign for MURKY WATERS and we're already 47% funded!
MASSIVE thank you to all those who have gotten behind our project so early. So far backers have included returning backers, fellow comic book creators, family and friends, and new backers who have entrusted us with their hard-earned cash. I'm also thrilled at already securing a 'producer' for our book :)
If you're up for it, I'd love you guys to share the link to our campaign with any of your friends and/or followers if you think they may enjoy it:
MURKY WATERS
In my experience, the first couple of days are always the busiest, so the hard work is really just beginning as we still have 53% left to fund and Kickstarter gives us absolutely zero, zilch, nada, if we don't hit our target.
Thank you again and I can't wait to see the product of our hard work finally in print.
Christian and the MURKY WATERS team
