ComixTribe has partnered up with Eisner Nominated writer
Jason Ciaramella (SCAM #0: Crosswords, The Cape, Magic the Gathering) and
visionary illustrator Greg Murphy to produce C is for Cthulhu: The LovecraftAlphabet Book, which is available for pre-order now on Kickstarter.
C is for Cthulhu is a gorgeously illustrated, premium
alphabet board book, featuring monsters and characters inspired by the mythos
of H.P. Lovecraft.
"While browsing board books for my young son a few
years back, I was disappointed to find every book on the shelves was
essentially the same: A is for Apple, B is for Ball... Where's the fun in that,
right?" said Ciaramella.
"My boys were exposed to the fantastic and weird at
a very young age. They love monsters and mythology -- why shouldn't alphabet
books for their age be filled with these things? Well, they should be! And
that's why we made C is for Cthulhu."
"When Jason brought the idea for C is for Cthulhu to
me at last year's Boston Comic Con, I loved it. But the challenge was to find
the right artist to bring his vision to life," said ComixTribe publisher
Tyler James. "As it turned out, fellow Massachusetts-based artist Greg
Murphy was immediately interested in the project. His art on the book is a
perfect blend of creepy and cuddly. Now here we are, one year later, ready to
bring it to market."
The Kickstarter campaign will run now until midnight
Friday August 29th. Jason and Greg have set an $8,000 campaign goal, which will
cover printing and fulfillment of a small off-set print run of a premium
hardcover board book.
Backers can expect a number of Kickstarter bonuses and
additional unique pledge levels to be unlocked throughout the campaign.
A hardcover copy of C is for Cthulhu can be pre-ordered
now starting at just $15. There are also higher pledge levels offering
Kickstarter exclusive merchandise, and original sketches.
