New Hardcover coming to Kickstarter Feb 06th
about 1 year ago – Tue, Jan 31, 2023 at 08:51:02 AM

Hello White Ash fans,

We know some of you have been waiting for the White Ash Vol 2 Hardcover and we're here to say... unfortunately that wait is going to be a bit longer.  The second arc of the White Ash story is looking like it's going to be in the 250-300 page range. Which is a sizable increase over the first.  Best estimates now have that coming out in 2024.   That said, there will be more White Ash single issue content later this spring. (For those of you who like to get both.)

However, there is new White Ash related content hitting Kickstarter in less than a week. 

This book will be a collection of eight Glarien short stories bound in a prestige format, oversized (11"x7.25") hardcover. It will include remastered versions of five of the digital Glarien short stories we've sent out to backers before and three all-new Glarien stories (including one from Conor Hughes). The book will also have pin-ups from some of the best established and upcoming talents in comics.

Clocking in a roughly 100 pages, this volume is formatted to be the perfect companion to your White Ash Volume One Hardcovers.  Featuring three different dust jacket options, signed bookplates and limited sketch plate options by some of Glarien's most popular artists, you'll want to be there on day one to make sure you get your first pick of Glarien goodness and Early Bird rewards.

To make that easy for you, you can sign up here to be NOTIFIED WHEN WE GO LIVE.

One of the artists who's contributing a pin up to Short and Deadly is Anna Morozova, the illustrator of Glarien:Tavern Screams. I wanted to highlight Anna's story because for the first time ever in a White Ash Comics Kickstarter campaign, we'll be offering some of the original penciled pages up as a reward.  Anna's pencils on Tavern Screams were absolutely georgous.

So if you'd like a page of Glarien original art, make sure you're signed up to get first choice of those. If you'd like to read more about Anna and her work, she was the artist featured in our latest News From White Ash Newsletter. If you're not on our mailing list and would like to join, you can do that HERE.

Thank you again everyone for supporting our comics. 2022 was the biggest by far for White Ash Comics and we look forward to eclipsing that in 2023.

All the best,

Charlie, Conor, Romina, Fin and the rest of the White Ash Universe Team.

White Ash Coming Back To Kickstarter
about 2 years ago – Fri, Mar 18, 2022 at 01:34:34 AM

Hey there, White Ashians,

Just wanted to give you all a heads up,  White Ash is coming back to Kickstarter with an oversized, 64-page Deluxe Edition of all-new material that contains BOTH Chapter 06 and Chapter 07.

We’ll be launching in a couple of weeks with some insane, exclusive to Kickstarter variant covers. We'll also have more really cool swag (including a matching Elf pin to go with the Dwarf one we offered last time around). As always, there will be early-bird discounts and limited edition rewards, so make sure you’re there on day one so you get your first choice of White Ash goodness. These deals are our thank you to you, our most loyal fans. So please take advantage of them.

SIGN UP TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN WE GO LIVE

For those of you who are waiting for the next Hardcover.. that's going to be a bit later this year... maaaaaybe early next. The second arc of White Ash is longer than the first, so we're knocking it off in manageable chunks to make sure we can deliver in a reasonable amount of time.  But a matching HC Vol 2 is for sure in the pipeline. 

Thanks again for all the support,

Charlie and the rest of Team Ash (Conor, Fin and new recruit Mick Beyers)

68 HOURS LEFT to back Glarien. Plus more White Ash
about 3 years ago – Mon, Mar 22, 2021 at 12:30:17 AM

Hi White Ashians,

Happy Sunday.  We just wanted to say thank you again.  So many of you have joined us on our White Ash spin-off Glarien campaign, making it by far our most successful one yet. If you haven't had a chance to check it out, and you wanted to, this is your gentle reminder that the campaign ENDS in about 68 hours.

You can find Glarien HERE.

As for Aleck, Lillian, Katlyn, Thane and the rest of the bunch, they'll be back this Summer.  Look for our next White Ash Volume 2 campaign sometime in mid-June to early July.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.  And thank you again for the support.

Best from Team Ash,

Charlie, Conor, Fin and Romina

Glarien is live on Kickstarter
about 3 years ago – Sun, Feb 28, 2021 at 06:58:01 AM

Hey White Ashians,

In case you missed the announcement, we wanted to drop it here again for you and let you know that an all-new Glarien miniseries is live on Kickstarter. 

If you enjoyed the Glarien short story in the back of the Hardcover, you're going to love this series.  It's more of that, on steroids. Written by Charlie Stickney, with art by Romina Moranelli, colors by Fin Cramb and letters by Conor Hughes, the 40 Page first issue of Glarien follows the early days of White Ash's most dangerous elf, as told through the eyes of Rachel, a young woman living in 1970's New York City.  Think Red Sonja meets Taxi Driver... but with Elves and demons.  


We've already funded and crushed 4 stretch goals, so like most of our campaigns, it's filled with extra bits to give you more bang for your White Ash buck.  So if you've been feeling the pull and you've been waiting for the right time to return to White Ash, check out Glarien. 

Here's to a fabulous 2021.

Charlie and the rest of Team Ash (Conor, Fin and Romina)
