Hey, friends, here we go...

The Grawlgore & Shanks launch is heading into it's FINAL DAY and we're hoping we can break both the 300 backer threshold and the $10K funding milestons with a big final push. 

If you're able to mash those SHARE BUTTONS to help give us an extra push, we'd greatly appreciate it! 

In the meantime, if you missed it, we want to direct your attention to the bonus GRAWLGORE & SHANKS Audio Story that we created as a part of our new ComixTribe Audio initiative.

Alright friends... days have turned into just hours left here on Kickstarter as we roll into the final two days. 

We still have some work to do to unlock that $10K Stretch Goal, so we're going to continue to keep beating the drum.  Big thanks to backers who are supporting this campaign by jumping in on our Flash Art sales! It's cool to know so many great Mulvey pieces will be finding new homes! 

Joe recently got the news that he's being asked back for another issue of THUNDERCATS for the big issue #20 coming up. Joe previously served as guest artist on Dynamite entertainment's Thundercats ongoing series for issue #10 and #15, and will be back at it again soon, once he wraps Grawlgore & Shanks. 

Joe draws a MEAN Mumm-Ra, so to commemorate his return to Lion-O and the gang, we're tossing this Mumm-Ra sketch up for sale.

More Mulvey Art! $9K Stretch Goal Super Close! Replay of Livestream!
9 months ago – Tue, Jul 22, 2025 at 04:24:12 AM

Hey, friends! 

With 4 days left to roll, we're getting tremendously close to unlocking the next stretch goal... which means T-Shirts!

We have a couple of cool Grawlgore & Shanks designs we're working on... so stay tuned for that unlock which, fingers crossed, will happen TODAY! 

MORE MULVEY ART ADDED TO THE FLASH SALE! 

We're thrilled ot continue to sell some more great original art during this launch.  

To help us get that next stretch goal unlocked... we've added a few more MULVEY pieces up for sale. 

First, a warm-up... Joe Mulvey draws a mean Spidey, and this one came out so cool he had to drop some copic greys on it.  

And we've also added the art we're using for the Cover C, featuring iconic shots of both GRAWLGORE & SHANKS! 

TO ADD A PIECE OF ORIGINAL ART TO YOUR PLEDGE, CLICK MANAGE YOUR PLEDGE and select the piece you want in the ADD-ONS Menu.

NOTE: Each piece is one of a kind, so if you do NOT see it in the add-on menu, that means another backer has already purchased it. 

PLUS: IF YOU MISSED THE LIVESTREAM, HERE'S THE REPLAY!

We had an awesome time yesterday with Joe Mulvey, John Lees, Tyler James, and some great fans tuning in live. The boys play a game of "Who is on the Fictional Detectives Mount Rushmore", John gives a great tip for writers struggling to find the perfect story for their characters, and the boys answer some questions from the audience and backers. 

Here's the replay if you missed it... 

P.S. We wanted to give a shoutout to our super talented pal Will Robson, who is back on Kickstarter with the first collected volume of OUTBREAKS his ongoing Zombie Anthology Series. 

ComixTribe fans should know will from his great work in the last few issues of THE STANDARD, as well as his work for Marvel and DC, among other projects. This new collection features an amazing cover by Walking Dead co-creator Tony Moore!
