Lighthouse publisher Chris Stevens is so preoccupied with whether or not he could he didn't stop to think if he should...
The previously teased crowd funding campaign to bring out some reprints of Stephen R. Bissette's 1990s classic dinosaur comic TYRANT is in full effect, and an unquestionable success with over four times the initial goal and over 1400 backers in the first week.
Two editions of the book. The 100+ page Original Art Edition, a 12"x19" book reprinting all the artwork for the series and some other material at the full size Bissette drew it, duplicating the look and feel of the original art as much as possible. The 200+ page Complete Edition reprints the same material slightly smaller (9"x12", still much larger than the original comics) plus a lot of extra material, including all backmatter from the original comics and more.
Runs until April 16, 2026, so still a lot of time to hit more milestones, including several stretch goals which will bring the backers new prints from Bissette's 1989 Carnosaurs portfolio and more.
If you back right now, even a token placeholder amount while you decide what configuration of items offered you want (including a black light posters, metal bookmarks, slipcases, signed book plates, digital edition and more), you can join Bissette and book designer Jim Rugg in a video conference call with other backers this Thursday, March 26 at 6pm EST.
The Tyrant/Lighthouse crew, Bissette, Rugg and Stevens, have been on a media blitz for the book. I put together a playlist of all the interviews they've done on various YouTube shows over the last few months, plus some key earlier videos like the Cartoonist Kayfabe review which led to the book.
