I Believe You Have My Stapler: 20 Cult Classics of the 1990s
A guide to 20 of the greatest cult classic movies from the 1990s! A combination of essays, art, interviews, trivia, and fun!
I Believe You Have My Stapler: 20 Cult Classics From the 1990s is a full-color book exploring 20 of the most well-loved cult classics of the best decade ever!
Each chapter of the book focuses on one movie, giving you a full-color art piece followed by an essay filled with trivia, recollections from cast and crew members, and critical and box office analysis. There will also be a few surprises along the way!
I Believe You Have My Stapler is a full-color, squarebound 8.5? x 5.5? book that is approximately 160 pages in length (final page count TBD, as I keep adding material right up until publishing!) It is a cross between an art book, a collection of behind-the-scenes essays, and a fanzine, all published in a professional and colorful layout.
Each essay is 6-12 pages long. While our aim was to provide information that will inform and entertain you, we also wanted to make sure the book is fun! This is meant to be more of a coffee-table book than a deep literary analysis. So if you’re looking for a film analysis textbook, this isn’t the book for you! If you’re looking for a great read about movies that don’t tend to get written about elsewhere, this is the book for you!
The 20 Movies included in I Believe You Have My Stapler are:
- 12 Monkeys (1995)
- The Boondock Saints (1999)
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
- Clerks (1994)
- The Crow (1994)
- Dark City (1998)
- Darkman (1990)
- Demolition Man (1993)
- Empire Records (1995)
- From Dusk Til Dawn (1996)
- The Iron Giant (1999)
- Office Space (1999)
- The Phantom (1996)
- The Rocketeer (1991)
- The Sandlot (1993)
- The Shadow (1994)
- Starship Troopers (1997)
- Swingers (1996)
- Tommy Boy (1995)
- Tremors (1990)
In short: it won’t be boring or stuffy!

Lurking in their shadows are depressed con-artist Tontin St. Tashing and eccentric jester-thief Kitz Squishykins! Hot on their trails yet always two steps behind, this unlikely pairing of criminals will stop at nothing to retrieve Errolyn for their own mysterious intents!

Presented for the very first time in physical and digital form is a wholly original and new all-ages comics adventure perfect for the fantasy reader in your heart and life. STORYBORNE is a 170-page original graphic novel to be printed in one handy digest / manga / compact edition, and would you like to know the best part? This book is 100% done! We only need YOUR help to print and ship!
Draw your sword and make haste for the comic of your dreams! Lovingly crafted by writer Louis Southard (Laugh Riot / Flash Gordon / X-O Manowar), artist Puré (Skybound’s Creepshow in Love), and letterer Buddy Beaudoin (The Flash / Speed Racer / Gatchaman), this is one grand adventure you don’t want to miss out on! But, wait! There’s more! We’re also featuring Kickstarter exclusive art by rising star comic book artist Tyler Lenaz (Marvel)!
If you like Adventure Time, Undertale, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Star vs. The Forces of Evil, Jeff Smith’s Bone, and a lot of other cool stuff, then this is the book you’ve been waiting for!
