THE CHRISTMAS ODYSSEY CONTINUES!

Last Fall, the first issue of BRIC-A-BRAC successfully funded on Indiegogo.

We met our main characters Garret and Marie as they embarked on their journey to find Father Christmas and save Planet Christmas from impending doom. That doom, almost single-handedly, was brought by General Almond and his army of Nutcrackers who were determined to take over the Planet and steal its resources.

Issue Two continues this epic story while adding more characters and obstacles! You will meet new characters like the ominous Jack Frost, the evil Caesar Dimitrius, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future among others!

Issue Two will be a 28-page comic book written by Ryan Haack, featuring interior art by Rafael Sam. The comic book will also include a five-page back-up story with art by Tom Barton and Milton Aguiar. 

THE CREATORS

WRITER/CREATOR - RYAN HAACK

My name is RYAN HAACK and I'm the creator and writer of BRIC-A-BRAC! Since I was a little kid, I was fascinated by Christmas and all the lore surrounding it! I loved the imagery, the decorations, the holiday specials, and I still do to this day! BRIC-A-BRAC is my attempt at creating a story that can show adults and children how valuable and important Christmas is as a concept! It's an incredibly useful holiday with ideals and values which we can implement every single day of our lives! I am so passionate about this story and had an absolute BLAST writing in the dramatic, fun, and always exciting world that is BRIC-A-BRAC! I am the host of the FAR-FETCHED STORYTELLING PODCAST and the creator of the web-comic the UNSPEAKABLE TEXT, too!

RAFAEL SAM: Born in São Paulo, and raised in Recife (PE), Rafael Sam has worked as a freelance illustrator and comic artist for 9 years. He has worked in the area of textbooks and also comic books, in cartoon style, concept art, and has made scenes for animations. Some time ago, he worked for DreamWorks Animation's comics division, where he made 3 editions of the Madagascar title. He recently worked on the catharsis-funded Black Desert author project where he made the official launch at ccxp 2018. His Instagram is @rafael1234hc. 

TOM BARTON: Tom’s been working as an illustrator for the last 5 years. He’s done several comics, including a short webcomic series for League of Legends called “Olaf Vs Everything”. His biggest influences are the likes of Joe Madureira, Chris Bachalo, and Ed McGuinness. When he’s not working on comics, he’s coming up with character designs, concept art, and writing his own stories. His Instagram is @tomo_tron

MILTON AGUIAR: Milton is a 21-year-old Portuguese artist who is the creator of RAPTOR and IMAGINACTION COMICS! Ryan and Milton have collaborated for years on many projects including LOVE COPS and HEY, DAYS! Milton created the BRIC-A-BRAC logo and designed the cover of the first issue. He will be reprising his role as designer in BRIC-A-BRAC #2. Milton will also be teaming up with Ryan and Tom Barton to draft several pages from our back-up story The Tragedy of Jack Frost!

THE LOGISTICS

As mentioned before, this will be a 24 page comic book. It will be identical in design to the last comic we produced for BRIC-A-BRAC #1. Because they are so similar, it was very easy for me to calculate shipping costs and how much I will need to deliver the best product possible. Here's some breakdowns for those interested:

PRODUCTION OF COMIC (ART/LETTERING) : $3,400

PRINTING (ISSUE 2 and REPRINTS of ISSUE 1): $600

SHIPPING (NATION-WIDE AND INTERNATIONAL) : $1,000

EXTRA FEES (KICKSTARTER FEES) :$200

SHIPPING

This book will not be completed before Christmas, although we presently have about 20% of it done. My goal is to have it in your hands by January or February, which was the same time the books were in the backers hands with BRIC-A-BRAC #1.  The digital copy of BRIC-A-BRAC #1, the back-up story THE TRAGEDY OF JACK FROST, and whatever we have completed of BRIC-A-BRAC #2 will be sent to you once the campaign closes, so you can enjoy it with your family!

If the physical copy being delivered before Christmas is a deal-breaker for you, we want you to know that this story is about the idea of Christmas--not the holiday. On Planet Christmas, Christmas is every single day. It's about implementing Christmas cheer into each of our lives everyday, for a better tomorrow!

PLEASE HELP US MAKE THIS COMIC BOOK A REALITY!
