 Here are some images from the book.

C. Carson Grubaugh's nine-page Artist's Commentary, in which he discusses how You Don't Know Jack came to be, the process of working on the project, and further thoughts regarding some of the specific illustrations produced for the book.

D. The Strange Death of Alex Raymond Fundraiser Edition! Signed by Carson Grubaugh - - $100

For the past four years Dave Sim and Carson Grubaugh have been working together to create a long form graphic novel, The Strange Death of Alex Raymond. Earlier this year, a 132-page sampler of this longer work was announced, to be sold to promote a larger run of the book. While that promotion and plan fell through, the book was still printed, and we have access to 100 of the 400 promotional copies that were produced! (60 currently available).

Promo edition or not, this is a stunning book, lovingly-produced and printed.

This however is NOT the full Strange Death of Alex Raymond. This is not a book we are publishing! We are simply selling the 100 copies kindly gifted to us by Eddie Khanna, who paid for the promotional printing. As such, availability is very limited.

We hope that one day you'll be able to read Strange Death of Alex Raymond in full. But if you're curious now, and you want to get to read the 2/5s of the book THIS year instead of, say, next, well, we've got you covered.

PLEASE NOTE: SDOAR V1 can be added to ANY shipping tier via ADD ON.

All of the artwork for the comic is available for sale, but you'll have to visit Carson's website to take a look. The original art is on view, with pricing at http://hodtech.net/ydkj.html Contact Carson at clubgrubbug@gmail.com with a list of all of the works you want and he will create a custom tier just for you!
