Paperbacks and Inkstains!

Welcome, intrepid kickstarterian, to this, the kickstarter which will kickstart the collected edition of the comic which kickstarted Madius Comics. Phew. Still with us? Good.

The wait is over.

THE PAPERCUTS & INKSTAINS COLLECTION IS HERE!

For the first time ever the critically acclaimed MADIUS COMICS is putting together a collected volume of the entire run of PAPERCUTS & INKSTAINS. Whether you’ve been a longtime fan of MADIUS COMICS or are completely new to all things orange, this kickstarter is for you!

From the bumbling minds of Rob Jones and Mike Sambrook, and the occasional mish-mash of a certain Dr The Nick Gonzo, comes a heaving behemoth of a book containing just about every genre and every kind of story imaginable. Covering everything from westerns, sci-fi and horror right through to fantasy, nostalgia and everything in between. Featuring stories that run for multiple shorts to tales that are entirely self contained, this collection has it all. Featuring art from:

• Dan Butcher (Issue 1 cover, FPS)
• Kevin Pospisil (By ‘eck on Earth)
• Stephen Weafer (Mary)
• Nick Gonzo (Issue 4 cover, No)

If you’ve already been reading from the start, and you’re wondering why you should double dip? Well, let us yell at you why. Paperbacks and Inkstains will see every strip collected into one, glorious book, remastered, rejigged and presented in glorious, CMYK COLOUR-O-RAMA. COLOUR! You asked for it and they listened. The entire book will be in FULL COLOUR for the very first time, See the stories you already know and love brought to an all new level of visual brilliance. And we are not simply collecting all the existing pages into a new book, we will be bringing you a high definition remastering of our stories. The book itself will be UK standard comic sized, a move away from our usual standard US size, but a move we were planning on making with all our future releases anyway. Each story is going to be remastered, tweaked and reworked in it’s design and presentation, so we can give you the best quality comic we have to offer. You can’t say fairer than that!

Currently working their magic on colouring the pages are:

• Nick Gonzo
• Angela Sprecher
• Rosie Packwood
• Rory Donald
