The Few and Cursed

Created by Felipe Cagno

Welcome to The Few and Cursed online store! The Few and Cursed is a comic book series set in a world ravaged by the disappearance of nearly 90% of the water on the whole planet. It's been seventy years and mankind has learned to survive - barely. The problem is their survival sometimes involves curses and deals with the Devil and that's where she comes in. Redhead is a Curse Chaser going from town to town balancing the scales...

Latest Updates from Our Project:

321: Fast Comics books now available & new graphic novel coming to Kickstarter on June 26th!
almost 6 years ago – Sat, Jun 23, 2018 at 01:10:16 AM


Howdy, gang!

This update is mainly about two other series I've worked on but to keep all of you in the know, here are a couple of important dates and updates:

  • BackerKit Surveys will close next week on June 27th (more on that below!)
  • Few and Cursed #4 books and other items will go to print in the next couple of weeks putting us for fulfillment around beginning of October. A bit behind schedule, sure, but then again, there were so many extras to develop...
  • We are still on schedule to have issue #5 on Kickstarter during NYCC in early October

321: Fast Comics back in stock again (barely!)


The 321 books were always a best-seller not to mention volume 1 features the Redhead's first appearance as Fabiano and I created her for the 321!

And now that I've completed the fulfillment for the Chronicles Kickstarter I've decided to put whatever leftovers I had up for sale on BackerKit.


BackerKit surveys will lock down next week on June 27th but until then you guys can make changes to your existing add-ons - including adding the 321 books or any other variants that are back on the store.

Please hit the link below and input your Kickstarter registered e-mail:

You can also put in a new order and keep things separate if you feel like. To that end just hit the "Pre-orders" link below:

The 321: Fast Comics is a comic book anthology series published in 2015 and 2016 with two volumes right here on Kickstarter with some of today's biggest comic book names taking up the challenge of producing short stories with:

3 Pages

2 Characters

1 Twist Ending

Some of the artists in the series include Ivan Reis, Alex Sinclair, RB Silva, Joe Prado, Andrew Dalhouse, Cris Peter, Marcelo Maiolo, Rod Reis, Israel Silva and many more! 

Volume 1 is 128 pages long, full color while volume 2 features twice as many stories with over 200 pages worth of gorgeous comics!! Here's one of the stellar reviews the 321s have received:


We have very few limited copies of both the 321: Fast Comics books. Add them to your existing add-ons or put in a new pre-order.

THE LOST KIDS: SEEKING SAMARKAND VOL. 1 COMING TO KICKSTARTER ON JUNE 26th!


Next Tuesday, June 26th. I'm finally releasing the very first graphic novel I've ever worked on - The Lost Kids: Seeking Samarkand!

This is particularly exciting to me as I've lived with this epic story for ten years now and I feel this is the right time to finally publish it in print. We've had a very successful run in Brazil and I cannot wait to follow in their footsteps! 


The Lost Kids is a love letter to Goonies, the 80s cartoon Dungeons & Dragons and Final Fantasy! It's a fantasy graphic novel featuring a group of five teenagers that after being mysteriously transported to a world with magic and airships must find a lost city in order to return home.

It was originally published in digital format in an 8-issue run but I'm now collecting the books in two beautiful volumes!

Lavishly illustrated by a team of professional artists, The Lost Kids made quite a splash back on DeviantArt when some of the most popular artists there contributed their talent to the book.

You can read more about the Lost Kids on a special piece by DeviantArt staff:

https://www.deviantart.com/journal/Pursuit-of-a-Dream-493191280

Please stay tuned for our launch next Tuesday, June 26th, at 10am EST!


I hope to see many of you on Tuesday and thanks so much for your continued support of my work!

Cheers!
Felipe 

BackerKit Surveys have been sent and will be locked down on June 27th!
almost 6 years ago – Wed, May 30, 2018 at 01:55:28 AM


Hey, everyone!

BackerKit Surveys have been sent to EVERY backer and they are mandatory, folks. If you don't complete your survey you won't get your rewards.

If you haven't received your BackerKit invite please follow these steps:

Keep an eye out on your Spam Folder or Junk Mail. E-mails will come either directly from myself (Felipe Cagno) or BackerKit.

If you didn't spot them manually try using the "Search" feature from your e-mail account and look for either my name or BackerKit.

If none of the above hasn't worked then click the link below, hit the "Lost your Survey?" and input your Kickstarter registered e-mail:

https://thefewandcursed.backerkit.com

Shipping Problems, Missing rewards or any other issues

There were a few glitches that were already brought to my attention and dealt with like added shipping ($4 for the cards was an error!), items missing from your rewards packages and more.

If you have any issues filling out your surveys or adding items to your pledge please contact me immediately either by replying this message or e-mailing me at [email protected]

I'm here to help and make this experience as smooth as possible.

If you tried to add something to yout order but the shipping seemed weird please do try again as there was an error when adding any of the cards that has been resolved.

How long will the BackerKit surveys be online?

I will lock down surveys on June 27th. After that time, backers will not be able to switch pledges and take advantage of any unlocked stretch goals having to purchase any extra items separately.

This also marks the LAST CHANCE to grab the Kickstarter Exclusive Edition that will be printed on demand with a chromium finish, so be sure to get your survey in before that date!


Can I go back and add stuff? When will my credit card be charged?

Yes, you can go back to your BackerKit Surveys to change any details or add anything to your pledge. Just visit the link below and retrieve the survey:

https://thefewandcursed.backerkit.com

Your credit cards or any other payment methods won't be charged until June 27th when the Surveys will be locked down. Until then feel free to make any changes or add-ons as needed.

I'm trying to cover any and all big questions in this one long update but obviously if there is still anything confusing do not hesitate to contact me. I might not answer right away but I usually get back to everyone within 24 hours.

Thanks again for making this an awesome Kickstarter, you guys are the best!!

All the best,
Felipe

BackerKit Surveys coming up + Art Poll! Please open and read \o/
almost 6 years ago – Thu, May 24, 2018 at 12:20:58 AM


Howdy, gang! 

How is everyone doing?

Things have been progressing quite well and I couldn't be more thrilled to announce production on Issue #4 is now complete!!!

We're still working on the unlocked stretch goal items. It's a lot of stuff! Any pledge tier getting stuff sent in the mail will come with NINE (9) EXTRA ITEMS!!! 

Yep, that's a lot, it's over twelve collectible cards, a mini-print, bookmark, a resin coin, ashcan edition of the book, anyway, I'm glad we were able to put together quite the package :D

And if some of you guys would love to get all that by upgrading to another tier from the Digital Only one, you can through BackerKit.

BackerKit Surveys are coming and they are MANDATORY!

Early next week you’ll receive an email with a special link to your BackerKit survey. Filling them out is not optional. If you do not complete your survey you will not get your rewards, folks.

It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as possible since I'll need this information to fulfill your rewards - this influences the item count and that's why these are going out already.

How long will the BackerKit surveys be online?

I will lock down surveys on June 27th. After that time, backers will not be able to switch pledges and take advantage of any unlocked stretch goals having to purchase any extra items separately. 

This also marks the LAST CHANCE to grab the Kickstarter Exclusive Edition that will be printed on demand with a chromium finish, so be sure to get your survey in before that date!

Do I need to sign-up for BackerKit?

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out the survey. When you receive the email just click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like.

What happens if I need to update my Shipping Address after June 27th?

If you need to review your information or add-ons, you can always return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://thefewandcursed.backerkit.com

You will be able to add anything to your order or update your shipping address until mid-August when I plan on starting shipping out the rewards.

Please note: If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account.

What if I don't get a BackerKit e-mail?

Once again, these will be sent out early next week and I do ask to keep an eye out on your Spam Folder. E-mails will come either directly from myself (Felipe Cagno) or BackerKit. 

If that doesn't work then click the link below and hit the "Lost your Survey?":

https://thefewandcursed.backerkit.com

What about the add-ons I already purchased through Kickstarter during the campaign?

That's why BackerKit is so important. It sees you over-pledged and gives you extra credit to be used towards any add-ons. Just pick whatever you like from the menu on the third screen and use the extra credit. 

Don't worry if you go over whatever credit you have, you will be able to pay any leftover balance at the end of the process. This is also the opportunity to add anything extra to your pledge.

Any questions about BackerKit, the process, add-ons, anything really, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at [email protected]

Now for the fun part: ART POLL!

Every book - with the exception of the Kickstarter Exclusive Edition - will feature a shiny new back-cover art by Atomic Blonde's SAM HART and master digital painter CLONERH and I need your vote to decide which version to use!

To vote for this version with no hard lines, drop a comment saying "ART A - NO LINES"
To vote for this version with no hard lines, drop a comment saying "ART A - NO LINES"
To vote for this version with Sam's hard lines, drop a comment saying "ART B - HARD LINES"
To vote for this version with Sam's hard lines, drop a comment saying "ART B - HARD LINES"


That's it for now, gang! I will be back in touch early next week to confirm BackerKit Surveys have been sent and that everyone got their e-mail invites.

Until then stay cool!

Best!

Kickstarter Exclusive Edition cover reveal + Production Update! \o/
almost 6 years ago – Mon, May 07, 2018 at 08:31:10 PM


Hey, gang!

I hope everyone had a terrific weekend, I literally had to recover my health after going on a 30+ hours work shift straight without any sleep but all is well now and it's time to go back to sharing some exciting stuff!

First up is finally the reveal a lot of you backers were waiting for - THE KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE EDITION COVER ART BY HARVEY TOLIBAO & JUAN FERNANDEZ:


And that's not all! José Luis also turned in the pencils for the 1.000 Backers milestone 9-card set and now DC's colorist ANDREW DALHOUSE will tackle the colors. The theme here is VILLAINS:

REMINDER: This will be sent to every backer getting stuff in the mail as part of the unlocked Stretch Goals!
REMINDER: This will be sent to every backer getting stuff in the mail as part of the unlocked Stretch Goals!


I also have pretty exciting news that Fabiano Neves has finished the pencils and inks for issue #4! Colorist Tiago Barsa is currently working on the last few pages and we should have all finished by the end of the month.

Here's another sneak peek: 


Once again I wanted to thank you all for an unbelievable Kickstarter, it's very exciting to be working on this knowing so many people put their faith in us. I'll still do my best to meet the proposed deadlines but like I said in my last update as soon as the KS was over:

A lot of items unlocked happened during the campaign and thus need time to be produced with the quality you guys deserve. Production on these new items may delay our delivery schedule by a few weeks but I will keep you posted.

Project Spotlight

THE PATRONS: PART ONE


Check out The Patrons: Part One by Anthony Scott

This is probably one of the best looking comics I've seen around Kickstarter. You guys really need to go take a gander. Anthony is a true Few and Cursed supporter and he really helped us out on the last couple of days and I sincerely hope we get to return the favor.

It's probably worth mentioning he's raised over $25K halfway through his Kickstarter and is already unlocking some premium Stretch Goals. 

Until the next update, folks, and remember, if you guys have any questions or critiques feel free to shoot me a message right here on Kickstarter or email at [email protected].

You guys can also find me on Facebook and Instagram and please go over to The Few and Cursed official Facebook page and give it a like ;)

Cheers!
Felipe

THANK YOU!!! You guys rock \o/

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!


We quite didn't get to $40K, we will have to save that mysterious Concept Artist metallic pearl mini-poster for the next one, but at this point, does it matter?

This was by far the most thrilling, awesome and  jaw-dropping Kickstarter I've ever put together and the reason is YOU.

You guys pledged, upgraded those pledges, really went above and beyond to unlock so much cool stuff. I can never thank you enough for the support and sheer amount of love for The Few and Cursed saga.

Quick WIP Juan Fernandez shared with me tonight on the Kickstarter Exclusive edition. It's coming along quite beautifully!

On behalf of Fabiano and I, here's our most sincere and heartfelt THANKS to all of you that believed on the Redhead and her adventures! We will do our best to honor this commitment in every reward we produce, from the comic book (both in color and the ashcan B/W version) all the way up to the cards! 

IMPORTANT INFO: Needless to say that with this many new products and collectibles we will delay our initial production. I had most of the items ready to go to print in time to ship rewards in August but you guys kept unlocking new stuff and I had to scramble to go after them.

So if you think about it... this is all on you! ;)

I love hearing from you all, "my door is always open" and once again thank you so much for your support and pledge.

CHEERS!
