LIGHTBOX EXPO 2020

I began this year lightly joking with my wife about starting an LLC called Hindsight2020 for my comic series.  Like mostly everyone else, we were looking forward to the beginning of a new chapter with the upcoming YEAR 2020!  Then the year actually started, and well...you know the rest.

I had planned to have the first print of HESSYST: Volume One ready to go for my artist alley booth at Lightbox Expo in the fall.  Everything was falling into place and a long time dream of mine was about to be realized.  I was looking forward to sharing this project of mine with the world at last.  

Well, now after an ongoing pandemic and a slew of other odious global events and tragedies, many of the things each of us had planned or were looking forward to went sideways.  So yeah, no *printed* book this year.  I decided against it given all that was on the horizon (no conventions, no in-person sales, likely shipping delays, etc.).   On top of everything else already on my plate, I was also about to become a father.  About mid way through this year it seemed to me that a 75 or so page printed first edition book, while very cool, would not really satisfy the dream I have nor be worth the hoops of fire I would have to jump through to achieve it.  

So, like everyone else this year I have had to adapt to change and as a result will not have physical copies of Volume One for sale.  HOWEVER, I fully expect that by the time Volume Two is complete and I can smash the two of them together into a 150-200 page book, you are going to see a paper version.  As Volume Two is already well into production, I expect that it will be possible to see it at conventions by Fall 2021--assuming we’re not still shut up indoors away from everyone (we very well still could be)

Why am I telling you all of this?  Well, because Lightbox is here and I still wanted to do something special.  So, if you’d like you can continue waiting to read HESSYST every other week in tiny chunks online...OR, for just the weekend of Sept. 11-14, you can purchase all 75 pages of Volume one to read as an exclusive PDF e-publication. 

So, if you are enjoying what you’ve currently seen of the series and want to see more, that is going to be your best shot!  Plus, you’ll also be helping me feed my growing infant son who’s appetite already seems to know no bounds.  So head on over the Lightbox Exclusive tab under Book 1 and check it out.

Seriously, thanks for reading this and no one wants more HESSYST to get out into the world than me--so I’m on it full speed ahead.  Stay with me, see you soon.
