The Few and Cursed 💀

Created by Felipe Cagno

Welcome to The Few and Cursed & Timberwolf Entertainment online store! Please scroll down for all our books including digital editions of sold out titles like both 321: Fast Comics volumes. The Few and Cursed is a creator-owned comic book series about people trying to survive a wicked world where most of the water was gone overnight in a mysterious apocalyptic event in 1840. The Redhead is a hardened survivor that was born in this reality and now fights to protect the innocent. As the land fell into darkness a group of men and women decided to take a stand and fight back, they are known as Curse Chasers.

BackerKit Surveys on the way -- MANDATORY to fill them out! Plus check out Adagio and NEW RED ARTWORKS \o/
almost 2 years ago – Wed, May 22, 2024 at 11:24:44 AM

Howdy folks!

This is it, I'm officially kicking off fulfillment for this campaign and step #1 is possibly the most important to ensure every backer gets their rewards.

BackerKit Surveys have been finalized and will be sent to ALL of you in the next few days pending a Smoke Test. I will get into more details past the ADAGIO plug ;)

My latest graphic novel is currently on Kickstarter and unlocking a number of Stretch Goals. If you haven't checked out ADAGIO and are among our 640+ backers, what are you waiting for?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/adagio?ref=986ghg

In the near future (closer every day) an app/social network called ADAGIO allows users to post their dreams online - either pre-recorded or in live streams watched by millions across the world.

It's the end of produced entertainment as we know it today. No more movies, no more TV shows, no more TikToks, no more streaming services, all people watch now are dreams 💤💤💤

It'd mean the world to me to count on your support one more time and find the biggest audience possible for ADAGIO. This graphic novel is perfect for the big screen and you'll get to brag to your friends you helped make this happen ;)

BACKERKIT SURVEYS COMING UP - AND YES, THEY ARE MANDATORY!

Alright, this is probably the most important step in fulfilling everyone's pledges because I depend on you guys to do your part. I am using BackerKit to help me organize the logistics of shipping over a thousand packages and make sure everyone get the correct rewards they pledged towards.

BackerKit Surveys are absolutely mandatory and you will need to fill them out to be eligible to receive your rewards - both digital and physical.

If you fail to fill out your BackerKit Survey you risk forfeiting your pledge and the amount considered a donation towards the project. I keep getting people coming out of the woods two years after fulfillment was completed saying they never received their rewards and most times it's because they never filled out their BackerKit Surveys.

Please be on the lookout for emails coming this week from BackerKit - they will be sent to your Kickstarter registered email accounts and might end up in your Spam or Junk folder.

It's the only way I'm able to get accurate shipping addresses and pack lists. 

Also, if your Kickstarter pledge was made under a "privaterelay.apple.id" email address, you will need to contact us with an alternate email address. This would be the case if you registered to Kickstarter on your iPhone letting the phone set up the account for you. 

Backerkit cannot send email or survey links to those addresses, so we will need an alternate to complete your pledge.

The artworks for the bookmarks have been completed by Stan Yak & Nestor Zork Marinero.

Last but not least, I can't exactly say when the Surveys will be sent because we're currently going through a Smoke Test

The smoke test is a period where ~5% of the backers are randomly chosen to receive the surveys first in order to make sure everything is running smoothly or address any questions if needed.

Backerkit usually suggests waiting until 75% of those are complete, roughly 48 to 72hours, before sending the rest, so we expect the remaining surveys will go out to everyone sometime this week or next Monday (May 27th) at the latest.

If you are one of those 5%, please fill out your survey so that the smoke test isn't held up!

Our very next SAPPHIRE Collectible card by Mark Evans!

Everyone will get a second update this month as soon as BackerKit Surveys go out with instructions and all your biggest questions answered but if there's anything in the meantime do not hesitate to reach out either via comments, DM or an email to [email protected]

TFAC #9 PRODUCTION & FULFILLMENT CALENDAR

Even though dates constantly move as fulfillment progress these are pretty close now that we're about to go to print.

  • May - June: Inks, Colors & Lettering. Extras and book design finalized.
  • May 23rd - 27th: BackerKit surveys sent out to all backers (mandatory to fill them out!)
  • June 15th: We go to print and digital rewards distributed!
  • July: Books in transit from China
  • July - August: Fulfillment starts! This should take about two weeks so hopefully by end of the month we're done

Thanks so much for supporting The Few and Cursed and the Redhead, you guys are amazing!

Much love,
Felipe

Inking is done! New AMAZING Red artwork!! Plus new graphic novel coming to KS, come check it out and sign up for the launch!

Alright, alright, alright...

Fabiano just wrapped up the art for The Few and Cursed #9 and we can finally move on to colors and lettering, the last stage before going into production \o/

And since the script for the next issue is done he's moving on already, we really want to improve our turnaround time and try to get these books out faster without dropping the quality.

It was a busy month for The Few and Cursed as I also hired the artists for all the extra pieces we will be using as part of the Kickstarter. The bookmark, back covers, pin-ups, there's a lot of new stuff exclusively commissioned that I couldn't be happier about and will reveal little by little.

First up is Rod's piece! ROD SAN is a fantastic artist and someone that's worked with The Few and Cursed before, he's done a few illustrations for the board game and his art is actually the cover of the art book of the game.

Here's a fantastic piece of art he delivered for Issue #9:

TFAC #9 PRODUCTION & FULFILLMENT CALENDAR

As I mentioned in last month's update, from now on you can expect to see our timeline in every update. These dates will shift as we progress through the production stages still remaining but they still should be a pretty good guide.

  • April 30th: Last edits and touch ups on Inks, Fabiano and I will review the pages together.
  • May: Inks, Colors & Lettering. Extras and book design finalized.
  • May 20th: Pledge Manager surveys sent out to all backers (mandatory to fill them out!)
  • June 5th: We go to print and digital rewards distributed!
  • June-July: Books in transit from China
  • July: Fulfillment starts! This should take about two weeks so hopefully by end of the month we're done

The idea is to finalize fulfillment, or at least get close enough before launching the campaign to fund the next chapter, The Few and Cursed #10, in the Summer but stay tuned for news ;)

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/adagio

Because before we get TFAC#10 under way, I have a new graphic novel coming up! This was published in Brazil, it won an award and it's finally time to adapt it to English for  international audiences.

You might want to sign up to be notified once ADAGIO hits Kickstarter on May 7th, that's about ten days from today. This is easily one of the best graphic novels I've ever written and produced and I cannot wait to share it with you...

In the near future (closer every day) an app/social network called ADAGIO allows users to post their dreams online - either pre-recorded or in live streams watched by thousands, millions, across the world.

It's the end of produced entertainment as we know it. No more movies, no more TV shows, no more TikToks, no more streaming services, all people watch now are:

DREAMS...

Make sure to be notified on launch so you don't miss out on those Early Bird limited specials \o/

I hope to see all of you on launch day come May 7th! Until then thanks so much for your support towards Red and The Few and Cursed, you've been amazing as always and we all appreciate it!

Have a nice weekend!

New TFAC#9 pages!! You'll never guess who's coming to raise havoc... (SPOILERS!)
about 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 21, 2024 at 10:59:13 AM

Howdy fellers!

Before I get into the TFAC#9 good stuff please allow me to make an appeal to all of you. I'm at a point in my life and career (turning 40 on April 1st!!) that made me reflect on my goals, achievements and what I'd like to do next.

And that's a comeback to filmmaking.

You might not know this but I have a background in film, my entire education was on film production, I've done a few shorts and even wrote and directed a feature film that was bought by 20th Century Fox and is now a Disney property - A Bullet With No Name.

It's been a minute since I've been on a film set and it's time to go back, I need the experience to be able to tackle film adaptations of my work in comic books. That's right, I want to write and direct a Few and Cursed film and it starts here with you and the short film INKS.

If you haven't gotten a chance to check out my latest Kickstarter campaign please click right here and help me out, I need your support, this is probably my most ambitious project to date and I can't do it alone.

So how about we go make a film together?

HIS REPUTATION PRECEDES HIM...

I'm so excited to share that ALISTAIR FAIRWEATHER is joining TFAC: The Great Deluge storyline! I've been meaning to have him interact with the Redhead since I created him in Chronicles.

I just love writing this character, I had a blast with Alistair in Shadow Nation, he made a powerful debut in Chronicles and it was time to bring him to the front and center.

Trust me, this is someone you do NOT want to mess with:

Fabiano is currently wrapping up the pencils of the entire book and will be finished by late next week. From then on production should pick up speed as we're doing inks and colors next.

This has been such a fun book to work on and you can tell Fabiano has been having a blast with the art, each page is just mind-blowing. I don't want to share too much to avoid spoilers but trust me you're all in for a heck of a time \o/

As much as we're running a bit behind schedule don't worry we will get this out the door as fast as we can without putting the quality at risk.

TFAC #9 PRODUCTION & FULFILLMENT CALENDAR

I think we've advanced production enough that it's time to start sharing some dates with you all. Please keep in mind that these are estimates and we will do our best to keep them.

From this point on I will be sharing the calendar on every Update so you all know what's happening. 

  • March 31st: Fabiano finishes up pencils.
  • April: Inks, Colors & Lettering
  • May 1st until the 14th: Extras and book design finalized. Pledge Manager surveys sent out to all backers (mandatory to fill them out!)
  • May 15th: We go to print and digital rewards distributed!
  • June: Books in transit from China
  • July: Fulfillment completed!

The idea is to finalize fulfillment before launching the campaign to fund the next chapter, The Few and Cursed #10, in the Summer but more on that later as well ;)

I really appreciate all your support and understanding but as always if you need to reach out for whatever reason please send over a DM, leave a comment or shoot an email to [email protected]

Thanks so much!
Felipe

P.S.: And please do consider pledging towards my short film, Inks, I really need that help:

Check out these Hidden Away colored pages! LAST WEEK to back it on Kickstarter! ⏰
about 2 years ago – Mon, Mar 04, 2024 at 01:43:44 PM

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-few-and-cursed-hidden-away?ref=290r5b

I know this has nothing to do with The Few and Cursed #9 but I'm way too excited not to share these absolutely gorgeous colored pages Fabi just sent over.

Mind we still need to go through editorial but I love what she's envisioning for Hidden Away \o/

I hope you all get just as excited and decide to put in your pledge as we go into our very last couple of days on Kickstarter! The campaign ends THIS THURSDAY, March 7th, at 11:59pm est and if you're looking to grab all the extras unlocked... well, this is it, do or die time!

I promise the next Update will bring some exciting previews of issue #9 as Fabiano continues to work on the book and believe me, he's like a good wine, only gets better with age!

We worked on the book while in Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con and you won't believe how fantastic this issue is turning out, we cannot wait to share it with you.

As always thanks so much for supporting The Few and Cursed and our work, I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I hope to see many, if not all, of you over at the Hidden Away Kickstarter campaign.

All the best!
Felipe

TFAC #9 layouts complete!! Check out new pages and action plus Hidden Away still LIVE on KS! 🔥
about 2 years ago – Fri, Feb 23, 2024 at 03:54:18 PM

Howdy y'all!

I'm so happy to announce that Fabiano has finished up laying out the entire book. This is huge, really, this is where we figure out the entire narrative, make dialogue changes even plot changes sometimes.

We're running a bit behind schedule but production is ongoing and now that we figured out all the layouts we'll definitely move along a lot faster now. 

I apologize for the delay in the making of the book but I have to be honest, every time I see pages like this, I'm floored and I always think it's worth the extra time.

Hopefully you all think the same. 

Quality always trumps deadlines in my book (pun intended!) and I think that's a big reason why TFAC has such a cool following and community built. 

We're late, yes, but we're not dropping the ball and I guarantee you will all get your rewards, everything you pledged for.

TFAC: HIDDEN AWAY STILL LIVE ON KICKSTARTER & UNLOCKING SGS!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-few-and-cursed-hidden-away?ref=290r5b

We still have about two weeks left on Hidden Away and I'd really appreciate it if you would come on over and check it out. This is an incredible one-shot graphic novel that I'm really proud of.

We're this close to 800 backers and a little over $2K of unlocking the next Stretch Goal. I understand some of you might not want to back something else while this book is still ongoing and fulfillment still some time away but rest assured the extras unlocked will more than make up for it.

And remember these extras are exclusive to backers, you won't be able to get them later on like the collectible cards for instance ;)

Thanks so much for your continued support, patience and understanding, Fabiano and I are thrilled to be able to work for you and deliver something of quality. If any of you need to reach out for whatever reason you can leave a comment, shoot a DM or email me at [email protected]

Have a terrific weekend!
