J.P. PLACK & EMI UTRERA PRESENT: "EUDAIMONIA"

EUDAIMONIA is a word from ancient Greek philosophy that means, "the good life," the life that is worth living despite the inevitable pain and hardship of the human condition. It is something which all seek yet many are unable to find.

EUDAIMONIA is a multi-genre story that takes place between 1909-1959, featuring interwoven stories about a small town with a secret, a traumatized soldier in the trenches, a runaway girl with remarkable gifts, and a son not so prodigal. These seemingly disparate tales come to form the circular narrative, as characters claw their way towards their Eudaimonia.

EUDAIMONIA #1: THE SECRETS WE KEEP, THE SONG IN OUR HEARTS

'Eudaimonia: The Secrets We Keep, The Song in Our Hearts' is the first of three issues in the series. It consists of 30 full-color pages written and designed by me and drawn, colored, and lettered by the amazing Emi Utrera. The story is also told using (almost exclusively) third-person narrative verse. This unorthodox style is a deliberate homage to the many actual soldiers who fought in the war and composed poetry using this style.

What Your Support Will Get

We are working closely with a trusted printer to put the highest quality book into your hands, which will include:

• 30 pages in glorious full color to let Emi's amazing art shine thru.
• High quality gloss finishing to make sure his masterful use of color pops off the page
• Aaaaaaaand.

The First Edition Promise

Backers of this first Indiegogo run will get the 1st Edition featuring this gold stamp (gold foil if stretch goals are met). This will not be printed on future runs. The 1st Editions will also be sequentially serial-numbered, meaning that however many people get in on this will be how many of these unique prints exist. Those backers who purchase the 'Signed Copy' will be given the lowest numbers, signed and numbered in gold paint, all others will be silver.

As of right now the first book has been written and we have 20 pages finished. We are putting a lot of care into each page so, realistically, we hope to have the book ready to send out digital copies in December, and the print sent to the printer by January 2020.
