Idle Hands: The Art of Richard Pace
Idle Hands: The Art of Richard Pace will be a vast collection of artwork spanning Richard Pace’s career, including work from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse and other publishers as well as his more recent work with Second Coming (co-created with writer Mark Russell), his infamous witches from Coven, and his upcoming series of Viking Horror one-shots. This is in addition to a large array of personal work including celebrity portraits, various daily drawings, as well as glimpses into past comics projects that fell by the wayside over the last thirty-five years.
The 300-page hardcover collection will also delve into his processes for painting, comics pages, his step-by-step cover method, and his working process for traditional pen and ink, digital colour and traditional painting. Further, there will be an exploration of his influences from classically trained artists like John Singer Sargent, masters of Illustration like Frank Frazetta and Joseph Clement Coll, and masters of the comics medium like Bernie Wrightson and Bill Sienkiewicz. And, finally, something we think has been missing from many contemporary artists’ books: a section on what Richard wished he knew when starting out on this career path, and how to survive and grow as an artist and creator in these hard times.
Intended to be far more than just a book of beautiful images, this collection is aimed at being a companion as we wander through the varied subjects and approaches taken, as well as the missteps along the way. The hope is to deliver a work containing not only a vast amount of artwork, but a sense of the person who made it. This book will only exist with your support, which will be thoroughly appreciated

The Adventures of Parker Reef Volume 3-The Devil in you
Parker Reef and friends venture off into the realm of forgotten souls, one last time.
The Adventures of Parker Reef, is a deeply personal story. Having suffered the losses of my girlfriend and our son-Parker Reef. I was drowning.
This story began as a way for me to try and somehow process those losses. What it became, is nothing short of extraordinary. I never dreamed it would help anyone i didn’t even know if it would help me. Somehow this book has touched people’s lives in a way I could have never imagined.
Loss is always difficult, and we all experience the pain of someone leaving us. Be it too soon, or after a life well lived, it hurts the same. No more smiles, phone calls…no more anything. Just nothing.
The story revolves around Parker’s dream to see me in this world as he and Tana exist in theirs.
Adventure? Well, you can’t just choose to leave the afterworld and just come back.
You have to earn that.
In my story, souls are the rarest of treasures. When someone is attempting something like Parker is, ALL are watching. All bets are off and the peaceful land he had been in with Tana is no longer where Parker will be. No, the land Parker will be set in will be dangerous. Full of those souls who have been lost, those souls who did terrible things while in this world and creatures sent by pure evil to try and stop Parker and covet his soul. A land full of challenges and adventure. A land Tana has been preparing him for. After all, who knows what their son would wish for more than their parent?
As Parker ,his Boston Terrier, JB and best friend, Gi-Gantic head off on this final adventure….we learn that the land he has ventured off into had also been preparing for him. Evil, danger and unknown realms,await our trio of adventurers.
Over 60 pages of Parker 3, alone and over 120 pages for all 3 book!!

Dead Sexy #2
The question isn’t whether Mary Jo will survive. The question is what she’ll become in the process.
Mary Jo Patterson appeared to have the perfect high school life—head cheerleader, dating star quarterback Josh, popular at school. But behind closed doors, her stepfather, Roger, was a violent alcoholic who brutally abused both Mary Jo and her sick, bedridden mother.
When Roger’s violence escalated beyond endurance, Mary Jo killed him in desperate self-defense. Her stepbrother Alex helped dispose of the body but revealed his true nature—a psychopathic serial killer who had murdered at least twelve other young women. Alex blackmailed Mary Jo into a sexual relationship, then kidnapped her to a ritualistic site in the woods where he murdered her, planning to resurrect her as his undead slave through dark magic.
A mysterious witch attempted to restore Mary Jo’s humanity but was killed by police before completing the ritual. Mary Jo awakened in a county morgue with partial restoration—she retained her memories and personality but gained supernatural abilities and an insatiable cannibalistic hunger. She escaped the morgue and now stands outside Alex’s house, ready to confront the monster who created her.
Dead Sexy takes the “final girl” trope and turns it inside out. Mary Jo isn’t just surviving horror—she’s becoming something that makes other monsters afraid. This isn’t your typical zombie resurrection story. Issue #2 explores the psychological aftermath of trauma, transformation, and the seductive nature of power through a supernatural lens that makes abstract concepts viscerally real. How do you maintain your humanity when you’re no longer human? There are no easy answers in Mary Jo’s world. Every choice comes with consequences, every victory demands sacrifice, and the line between justice and vengeance becomes increasingly blurred. The evolving connection between Mary Jo and Josh explores themes of love, acceptance, and moral corruption in ways that will leave readers questioning their own ethical boundaries.
Dead Sexy operates on multiple levels—as a supernatural thriller, social commentary, and character study. This isn’t just the story of a monster—it’s the story of someone choosing what kind of monster to become.

For fans of The Incredibles, the Universal Monsters, Hellboy, Lost in Space, super hero team books, sci-fi, and especially science-run-amok stories.
And, again, the book is done. It has been drawn, colored, lettered, and sits right now in print-ready files set to go to the printer as soon as the campaign succeeds. Want to read a 7-page preview? Just keep reading.
Equal parts horror, humor, heroics, and heart, the I Scream Spectacular features the exciting return of everyone’s favorite monster family adventurers: The Family Graves. And they are back to stop the Brainpocalypse! The what?! Well . . .
When a lab accident causes a brain to mutate into a giant flying monster, hangry and rampaging across Chicago, only the telepathic fish-boy Lum has a shot at making the connection the brain is looking for. Did we mention the flying brain spurts out puss minions and shoots lightning? It’s gross, scary, and a little bit silly.
The Family Graves arrived in the world as hit indie series from Source Point Press. We did four issues (which are still out there at fine comic shops near you or online–but they are also available as part of this campaign).
What’s even better, I Scream Spectacular was originally meant to be an annual, something to bridge the gap between the first and second mini-series to help bring on new readers. It’s a standalone tale, perfect for reading on its own without knowing anything about The Family Graves while also giving existing fans a wider look at the story world.
