HELP US LAUNCH THE NINETY FOUR - VOLUME 1 COLLECTION!
We need your help and support to launch this great collection of Shelby Robertson's NINETY FOUR series. NINETY FOUR is essentially me having fun with several tropes from the 90's era of comics, balanced with a bit of new school. 90's comics were the era that inspired a very young me artistically and was *luckily* the era that I got my break into the industry. NINETY FOUR features all new characters that project these retro ideas.
This collected edition contains the first 3 issues of the NINETY FOUR comic book series, including the infamous sideways issue, a nod to the popular sideways issue crossover books by two particular industry giants from the early 90's. Within NINETY FOUR - VOLUME 1 you will follow the tales of Ragetality, Slamm, and Clinton. They're 3 time-traveling haphazard assassins whom really can't seem to complete the agenda at hand. This is mostly due to Ragetality's inability to follow basic guidelines. These stories are a perfect introduction to this rag tag group. Also included in this book is a mixed section of original character designs, unused pages, and pin up artwork. This collection is presented in a perfect bound comic book sized format, so will fit nicely with your collection or alongside your other trade paperbacks.
This book is 100% paginated and ready for press, only lacking necessary funding.
Additional perks will be added if specific stretch goals are met, so read through the goals to get an idea of what extra cool stuff we have in mind.
ALL copies of NINETY FOUR - VOLUME 1 perfect bound collected editions SHIP SIGNED by the creator/artist Shelby Robertson.
PERKS AND ADD-ONS:
We are offering Foil - Final Encore editions for single issues *1, 2, and 3* of this book. This is specifically for those fans who prefer regular sized 20 to 24 paginated comics rather than collected trade paperbacks. These feature homage covers respectively, another nod to the era which inspired this series. These are available as a standard perk, but they can also be added individually as add-ons. These single issue editions only contain the original story pages that pertain to that specific individual issue number. The bonus materials section is only going to be found within the full VOLUME 1 collected edition trade paperback. So, keep that in mind when selecting your perks.
There are a VERY LIMITED number of Sketch Covers available that will feature an original head shot/shoulders up/ sketch drawing of one of the NINETY FOUR characters, drawn and inked by series creator/artist Shelby Robertson. Also for the very first time, there's regular blank sketch cover add-ons available for those who are into collecting them for personal custom art.
We are also making a special Line Art edition of NINETY FOUR #1, which has never been offered to the public. This is a limited release book of 25 copies worldwide. It's something uniquely it's own and features black and white artwork throughout. Available as add-on.

RISKS AND CHALLENGES:
With the possibility of COVID-19 affecting printing and shipping industries, this can introduce unpredictable delay issues that we cannot foresee. However, all work on this project is 100% completed and we intend to ship all issues by MARCH 2021. We are aiming for the earliest possible fulfillment and shipping. This depends entirely on how fast the printer can finish making the books and get all physical copies into our hands following this campaign. We fulfilled the fully funded Shelby Robertson Sketchbook INDIEGOGO campaign in OCTOBER, even though it had a projected ship date of mid-DECEMBER. We're pushing to build our reputation for early and on time delivery to all backers for our campaigns.
