Update 5: Stretch Goal UNLOCKED: It's All About Irving! · Imaginary Voyages of Edgar Allan Poe #2 KS Exclusive Edition

You did it, friends! You have unlocked an original Irving Rat solo story written by me and Rebecca, beautifully illustrated by Pablo Fernandez, magnificently colored by Andrea Messi, and skillfully lettered by Simon Robins! I don't want to give away too much about this special story, but suffice it to say that it should help get you in the holiday spirit ("spirits?") if you aren't already. Thank you for helping us make this happen, friends!  You may or may not have seen my live video on Twitter or Instragram, but I announced that Peter Steiner, the stellar designer of our exclusive Irving Rat mini-bust, is now 4 inches tall instead of 2! Here is the stunning raw print of the bust. Isn't it magnificent?! Peter has begun the molding process, so that means production will begin shortly! We could not be more excited to see this much-loved creature come to life! The amount of detail that Peter has put into this bust is stunning. I believe he has really captured the essence of the character--wouldn't you agree?   YOU GUYS. Thank you so much for joining us on this journey! Your support has made the second Kickstarter campaign for our Little Poe book successful beyond our wildest dreams! And in just one short week we will begin the countdown for receiving funding (usually takes a little over two weeks), publishing the comics, and ordering the art prints. We cannot wait to get the book and goodies into your hands! We are blessed to have an amazing creative team of friends for this series and we can't wait for you to see what will happen in the new year for our beloved characters in The Imaginary Voyages of Edgar Allan Poe!Sincerely yours,Dwight, Rebecca, and the Poe Team
