New BC Kickstarter Coming in August!
A Kickstarter campaign aimed at developing and publishing a new Black Coat series will launch this August. If successful, the new series, entitled “To Die But Once,” will be written by Ben Lichius and illustrated by Dean Kotz. Both creators are excited to return to the book and continue telling Black Coat stories. “It’s been 10 years since the last Black Coat book was published,” says Lichius. “That’s too long.”
That previous book, “The Blackest Dye,” was a 66-page original graphic novel and was published after a 2013 Kickstarter raised over $17,000. This new book is intended to be the first issue in a 3-part series. According to Lichius, “We’re going to do what we can to reach out to our fans and hopefully create some new ones. But it’s been long enough that one of the goals with this Kickstarter is to see if there’s still a market for the Black Coat out there. If we can raise enough funds to continue publishing Black Coat stories incrementally through the Kickstarter platform, we plan to do that.”
The campaign will offer plenty of rewards including exclusive extras and, in a Black Coat first, 3 variant covers.
The campaign plans to launch on August 12th and run for 30 days. The landing page can be found by going to: www.the-black-coat.com/kickstarter2024. Check back here for updates!
