THE FEW AND CURSED: Hidden Away 🐊

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.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

HIDDEN AWAY PRODUCTION & FULFILLMENT CALENDAR

As far as Hidden Away news all I can say is production is ongoing, a bit slower than I had anticipated because there is just so much going on but we're still on track for an October digital fulfillment and a physical one around the Holidays.

Writing this book has been a bit of a challenge since I'm tackling an ensemble cast of protagonists instead of a singular main character. Finding everyone's voices and making sure they don't sound exactly the same has been a tough nut to crack :)

As of right now these are dates we're looking at moving forward:

  • Mid to Late October: We go to print and digital fulfillment happens! \o/
  • November: Printing in China & transit time from China.
  • Early to Mid December: Fulfillment starts! This should take about two weeks so we're aiming for Christmas time to be completely done.

Of course I will keep updating all of you as production progresses or if there are any delays but I'm really hoping to keep to the dates above without any difficulties.

I truly appreciate the support and patience from every single backers, you are all the best! And don't forget to check out The Few and Cursed #10 on Kickstarter ;)

It'd be fantastic to see all of you back for another bout 'round here.

Have a terrific weekend,
Felipe

Howdy folks!

Here I am again with another monthly update on production of The Few and Cursed: Hidden Away. I honestly wish I had more to share with y'all but the truth is production is ongoing, we are still working on the book and making slow but steady progress.

At this time we're still on schedule to fulfill this in the Fall/Winter right in time for the holidays making it a true Christmas book :D

Uh-oh... things are getting serious for The Gusanos!

But other than sharing these sneak peeks of the script and new pages by Stan Yak there isn't much else to share, my friends.

I will take this opportunity though to remind all of you that my latest Kickstarter campaign is ending TONIGHT at 11:59pm est! So if ADAGIO sounds like your cup of tea make sure to hit the link to visit the project's page and put in your pledge.

We're past 900 backers and THIS CLOSE to hitting our last Stretch Goal of Phase 1... maybe your pledge will even help us unlock a couple of Stretch Goals from Phase 2, who knows!

What if you could post your dreams online in full HD resolution for likes and comments? Would you do it? Would you share what's most intimate of the human experience?

I will be in touch again next month as production continues to progress and as we have something new in the works of The Few and Cursed universe. It's going to be a terrific Summer and a great time to be a Redhead fan ;)

Thanks so much for supporting TFAC, my work and the work of everyone involved in producing these great graphic novels.

Have a terrific week!
Felipe

May Update! Production continues and new graphic novel on Kickstarter! What if you could share your dreams on the internet? 💤

Hey folks!

I'm back again for the monthly update on The Few and Cursed: Hidden Away but a lot of you know already how I like to stay busy and stay producing creative content so allow me to introduce to you ADAGIO.

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 💤💤💤

The campaign launched on Tuesday and with massive support from new and returning backers we funded on day 1! And yes, we're already chasing some exciting Stretch Goals \o/

If you haven't visited our page yet, come check it out. I'm really proud of this book, it won an award in Brazil and sold out the first printing. It was a great success and it is finally time to publish it in English for international audiences.

THE GUSANOS CONTINUE THEIR ADVENTURE!

Production continues on the book even though I hit a little bit of a snag in the script. My plan was to be completely done with the script by now but I wasn't too happy with the second half of Act II so I decided to go back to the drawing board and re-work it.

As always I strive for quality above anything else and this felt like a much needed use of good time. I did figure out the changes already and will work on them this month. With the script completed in May Stan Yak will be able to wrap up production in the Summer right on track for a Fall fulfillment :D

H.E.R.O.I.C. AWARDS

Super cool news to share! About two weeks ago the H.E.R.O.I.C. Awards took place in Chicago at C2E2 and Timberwolf Entertainment was up for four awards with five total nominations for both The Few and Cursed series and One-Eyed Jack.

I'm absolutely proud to announce that The Few and Cursed took home the award for BEST COMIC BOOK OF THE YEAR!!! \o/

How about that, huh?!

It is truly an honor and privilege to receive this award as it validates our work on the series and your support across multiple campaigns and titles of the TFAC universe. We would never have gotten this award without your pledges so we share this with you.

Thank you all so much for being an integral part of The Few and Cursed! I sincerely hope we get nominated again next year with Hidden Away, you all did your part already, it's my turn and our crew's :D

That's it for this month's Update, I will be back in touch in June with a lot more news including Fabiano's and my appearance at HeroesCon in Charlotte.

Until then...

Please don't forget to check out ADAGIO on Kickstarter, it's a phenomenal book that I know a lot of you will really enjoy.

All the best!!
Felipe

April Update! Check out a different take on colors and a brand new page, let's do this!!!

Howdy folks!

I'm going to try and hit these once a month until we go to print so expect lots of news and a real inside look into production of Hidden Away

But before I get into something really cool regarding color in comics, allow me to remind all of you that my latest Kickstarter campaigns ends NEXT WEEK ON TUESDAY!

And I could really use your help and your backing :)

In my last Update I talked about a return to filmmaking and a short-film project titled INKS. A much needed project I'm passionate about because it represents a new phase in my career, it's a first step towards adapting The Few and Cursed to the silver screen.

If you haven't checked out the campaign on Kickstarter please consider hitting the link above. We're 100% funded and chasing a couple of Stretch Goals before our time is up on April 9th.

Or hit the play and listen to what actress Lisandra Cortez has to say about INKS \o/

Lisandra Cortez is an incredible actress and I couldn't be more excited about having her join me in this film. I have no doubt she will deliver an incredible and powerful performance, this film is crewed already, cast is on its way, we just need funding now. 

Every single dollar helps and it will all go into production. I'm ready to shoot this in the Summer and get this in the can before moving on to writing a feature-lenght script for The Few and Cursed, get it in the best shape possible to take Hollywood by storm.

Will you help me?

HIDDEN AWAY UPDATES!

Moving on to Hidden Away news! I'm about halfway through the script and I'm loving every page. It's always so curious when characters take over a story and they kind of guide the writer, not the other way around.

Sure, I plan the plot very early on and that serves as a roadmap but character interactions, relationships, etc continue to evolve and change as the characters grow.

Especially when they find their own voice, it's an incredible and rewarding experience!

Moving on to colors... we've been trying different settings and palettes and I thought it'd be super interesting to share a little bit of the process before getting to the finished look.

This scene in the script always took place during twilight hours or sunset (you can tell from the man lighting up the lamp post) but that could mean a variety of colors. 

I honestly love both versions and it's been hard deciding which one to go with... do you have an opinion?

Leave a comment here on this Update and let me know!

We figured as the Sun sets the color scheme changes drastically so while the previous page had similar versions this one turned out quite different.

I love this part of the job and I hope you enjoy being a part of the process, I can't wait to share more news and updates next month as production continues!

Thanks so much for being a part of The Few and Cursed universe and don't forget to come check out INKS on Kickstarter before Tuesday April 9th :D

🔥 THE GUSANOS LIVE! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING! THANK YOU!!! 🔥
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 07, 2024 at 09:06:19 PM

Alright my gorgeous backers, we made it, we crossed the finish line! And we did it with flair \o/

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

I really appreciate every single pledge that came in and I do not take your support lightly, you can bet the whole team will work tirelessly to deliver an amazing graphic novel.

We did manage to unlock one more Stretch Goal before we ran out of time and it's a real fun one. I can't wait to come up with fun and catchy lines for a professional VO actor to deliver them straight to you all.

Virgil Earp plays a big role in the story and I cannot wait for you all to meet my version of this historic figure.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR HIDDEN AWAY?

First a little bit of business. Please note your credit cards have been charged already and if they haven't they will be in the next few days. If there are any problems Kickstarter will automatically ask for backers to fix the issue and try again for about a week or so.

If you have any questions regarding payment please reach out directly to Kickstarter. There isn't much I can do other than check on errored payments and send a message to you to try and help mediate any assistance needed with Kickstarter.

Make sure your payment methods are up to date to avoid dropped pledges.

If by any chance your pledge gets dropped and you still have an interest in your rewards, do not fret, you still counts as a backer when I send out the Pledge Manager surveys via BackerKit and you will have yet another chance to correct your payment method and confirm the pledge.

PRODUCTION IS AT APPROX. 25% RIGHT NOW

It all starts here with a very simple and rough layout...

We have started working on Hidden Away a few weeks before launching the campaign and we haven't stopped. 

Production is ongoing and I will keep you all updated as things move along including artists announcements, sneak peeks at layouts, inked pages and colors, the whole process, you all get to tag along.

The script is about halfway through and Stan has delivered the first 20 or so pages already. We plan to finish ten more by April and hopefully complete the artwork by June.

Fabi Marques and I have also been discussing the colors of the book and we finally arrived at an amazing place. I've shared the first three pages and I hope you enjoyed how they look.

In the next six to eight weeks I hope to have finished casting all the artists for the various items unlocked via Stretch Goals and as soon as they start turning in layouts and finished pieces you will also be the first ones to see. 

This is where we get to!

WHEN WILL THE FEW AND CURSED BE BACK ON KICKSTARTER?

We're gonna go on a bit of a hiatus since we have both The Few and Cursed #9 and Hidden Away in production. Our next campaign in the TFAC universe will be the issue #10 some time in the Summer.

Stay tuned for Red news!

However... I will be back on Kickstarter with something completely new a lot sooner than you think - a lot! I'm launching in the next week or two a campaign to fund a SHORT FILM titled TATTOOS.

This is a very personal project and a return to filmmaking, hopefully in a full time capacity depending on the success of the short. You can hit the link below or image to be notified when the project launches:

Once again here's my most heartfelt and humble THANKS to all of you that pledged on this Kickstarter, thank you so much. I promise I will do my best to deliver the best products possible and provide the best experience as well.

It is impossible for me to guarantee there won't be any delays or challenges ahead but I'm always around, I always respond to comments or DMs and I am ready to listen.

I will regularly be in touch with you all via Kickstarter updates (make sure you are getting them in your e-mail accounts - remember to check your Spam or Junk folders) as we move along production up until shipping out your rewards.

Please know that I will send out BackerKit Surveys to fulfill your rewards and they are mandatory so keep an eye out for those in the Fall a few weeks prior to fulfillment.

My door is always open so to speak so if at any moment you have any questions, comments, critiques, please shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] or send over a DM right here through Kickstarter. I try to get back to everyone in no more than 48 hours.

Once again thanks so much for such a thrilling experience, this campaign really gave me goosebumps from beginning to end!

MUCH LOVE!
