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:

Phase 1 of SG completed! New Stretch Goals announced!! How far can we go?!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 06, 2024 at 10:05:07 AM

WE DID IT!

We have unlocked everything we had planned for Phase 1 and now it's onwards to bigger goals! We don't have much time, less than 36hrs, but I know we will make'em count!!!!

We unlocked another upgrade for the hardcover edition of the book - which is Kickstarter exclusive by the way!! Every now and then I get people asking about the books in hardcover format...

Well, you either get'em on our Kickstarter campaigns or you'll need some luck getting them afterwards as we only make available what's left after fulfillment.

NEW STRETCH GOALS ANNOUNCED!

Welcome to Phase 2, my friends! As promised we have a lot of good stuff planned and I cannot wait to see how far we are going to get.

Please do continue to spread the word about Hidden Away and upping those pledges. We had a number of backers upgrade their original tiers, thank you all so much!

If it was up to me I'd unlock it all and make this the best project and campaign over but everything has a cost and I need your help to make all of the above happen.

The next 30+ hours should be one heck of a ride!

Project(s) Spotlight

Dragon Grit #1 - Fantasy Western (With Dragons!)

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/giraffe-design/dragon-grit-1

I mean, this idea sells for itself. Cowboys and dragons?! Come on, this is absolutely awesome! I was stoked when Caleb reached out to tell me about this project, not to mention the fact they funded on day 1!

From his own page: "A tough-as-nails ex-outlaw takes a risky escort job while being pursued by an old rival. Who will love Dragon Grit? fans of gritty Western stories, dragon rider stories and stories about unlikely companions".

Requiem #1-2: Memory wiping Sci-fi Horror

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/christofbogacs/requiem-1-2-the-sci-fi-horror-continues

This project looks great and it's THIS close to getting funded so why not head over there and check it out? It's a series that is still in the beginning, this campaign is to fund #2 but you can get the first one as well.

From his own page: "When the crew of the Genesis stumble upon their sister ship with everyone dead and data erased, they awaken a monster trapped in their own memories.

Requiem #2 (of 5) continues the breakout sci-fi horror mini-series from David Hazan (Nottingham, Monomyth), Christof Bogacs (Rick and Morty, Meat4Burgers) and Phil Appley (Robo, Stone Cop)."

Alright, I will leave you all to be now but will certainly be back sooner than you think with the end of the campaign looming. Thanks again for all your support and pledges, my friends!

Let's finish this one strong!!

Much love,
Felipe

Full art reveal! Check out Hidden Away in full color!! Last 50+ hours on Kickstarter, let's do this!!!
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Mar 05, 2024 at 10:55:44 AM

Alright, just in the nick of time we are going to reveal the art direction for Hidden Away! 

And it's actually perfect timing because it gives you beautiful backers more than enough time to perhaps up those pledges and help us move on to our second tier of Stretch Goals!

The campaign ends on Thursday and we're less than $1.5K from our next Stretch Goal at $40K, the very last one before we get to announce a whole new batch of extras \o/

While these pages aren't final, this is still a work in progress preview, it gives you all a good idea of what to expect from the art of Hidden Away and I really hope you like these awesome first pages!

When I teamed up Stan with Fabi Marques I knew they were going to do magic together but these are definitely beyond any crazy expectations I had.

I love how these are turning out!

Trust me, I cannot wait to reveal what's next for us! These final hours are usually super exciting and nuts, there's no way of telling where could we go from here.

And there's plenty you can all do to help us hit $40K and announce the next batch of Stretch Goals. For instance:

- Refer this KS campaign to a friend

- Post about it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, heck, you can even dance about it on TikTok

- You can always upgrade that pledge 

- Last but not least you can always cheer us on by leaving words of encouragement in our comment sections, those help a lot too!

Whether from Digital to Print or from Regular softcover format to the Kickstarter Exclusive hardcover, from the book alone to a combo of books, every dollar counts!

I invite you to check out the titles below and maybe add them to your pledges. Please bear in mind that everything listed below will be  available as add-ons after the campaign ends as well:

The Crows of Mana'Olana (issues #1 thru #6) trade paperback

Chronicles of The Few and Cursed

The Few and Cursed: Shadow Nation

Painting the World Red (a Redhead artbook)

You can be sure you'll hear from me in the next couple of days as we navigate the craziness that is the end campaign rush on Kickstarter, I can't wait to see where we're gonna land!!

Thank you all so much for pledging and getting us this far already, you are the best :D

Let's get those extra Stretch Goals, shall we!?!?

Much love!
Felipe

Last few days, one more Stretch Goal unlocked, one away from Phase 2! \o/
almost 2 years ago – Fri, Mar 01, 2024 at 11:06:42 AM

Howdy folks!

After a sluggish mid-period we're back on track and continuing to unlock exciting extras! These past few days have been great with tons of new backers and I really couldn't appreciate all of you more.

THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE THAT PLEDGED!!

You are the very best of the best \o/

I can't wait to reveal our second round of Stretch Goals, there are some truly awesome things planned and I'm sure we will be able to unlock so much yet.

For now here's the latest SG unlocked, an upgrade to our regular softcover edition of the book:

CAMPAIGN ENDS ON THURSDAY!

We still have plenty of time left so please let your friends and family know about Hidden Away, post on social media, maybe look into upgrading those pledges.

As far as production updates, Stan has just finished up a new batch of pages and Fabi is putting the finishing touches on the colors of the first sequence. If all goes well I will get to share some colored pages before our time runs out ;)

Project(s) Spotlight

Before jumping on to new projects allow me to share the correct link to my good friend Pat's Kickstarter campaign Emerald Fantasies which was spotlighted in my previous Update:

RONIN OF OKANE volume 1-3: Cyberpunk X Japanese Folklore

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cybersheepfilm/ronin-of-okane-volume-3

What a gorgeous looking project not to mention it's an absolute success with over 800 backers and over $60K raised so far! They still have about five days left on the clock and can definitely go a lot further, I highly suggest you guys take a gander clicking the link above.

From their own page: "RONIN OF OKANE Volume 3 is an explicit Graphic Novel for fans of Cyberpunk and Japanese Folklore.

Alright, so this project has just FIVE HOURS left so jump on it as soon as you can. It's also fully funded and chasing after Stretch Goals. Monty seems like an incredible creator and I highly recommend it, the book looks beautiful!

From his own page: "CHROME ROSES, transports you to The Tract, a future city built on the ashes of a world destroyed by a pandemic viral catastrophe.  It mixes cyberpunk, noir, and murder mystery into an atmospheric masterpiece simply described as "Blade Runner meets Hellboy".

This story concerns Kramm, an outcast detective, teaming up with Teo, a punkvigilante,  to expose a conspiracy linked to a resurgent deadly virus."

IMPOSSIBLE JONES Vol 2 ULTRA-COOL COLLECTORS EDITION!

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1227066666/impossible-jones-vol-2-ultra-cool-collectors-edition

Karl is a long-time friend and incredible comic book maker, I have the utmost respect for his work and glad to have collaborated with him in the past. Happy to recommend his latest graphic novel as well, it's another biggie already fully funded and chasing Stretch Goals.

Alright, my beautiful backers, this is it for today's recommendations and news but rest assured you'll hear from me a couple more times before our time runs out, there's still plenty to unlock and announce and I cannot wait for those to happen!

Once again thanks so much for your support \o/

Much love!
Felipe

Halfway through the campaign we are going strong after the last two SGs of Phase 1! Plus I'll be on Sketch UP! with Mom & Mel on Thursday!
about 2 years ago – Mon, Feb 19, 2024 at 06:23:23 PM

Hey everyone!

We are going through the "dark valley" of the mid-campaign period, exactly halfway through, it's always the most challenging time in any Kickstarter campaign but it's nice to see we're still seeing pledges come in and Stretch Goals getting unlocked.

Our latest one is another personal favorite as I couldn't be prouder of the work done with Carol Costa. She really embodied the Redhead for a photoshoot and the shorts we produced so it's always exciting releasing new products with Carol as Red :D

That's card #5 of a planned 9-card series. For backers that are missing any previously released cards don't worry, when the BackerKit Survey roll out you'll be able to add them to your pledges.

I'd really appreciate it if you could all continue to support us whether upgrading your pledges or showing TFAC to a friend or family member, posting on social media, anything helps, it really does!

Wrapping up our 2nd week with THREE MORE SGs UNLOCKED!!! Plus our first round of Spotlights! \o/
about 2 years ago – Thu, Feb 08, 2024 at 11:28:58 AM

Howdy folks!

I hope y'all doing just fine this Thursday, I know I am! We're finishing up our second week on Kickstarter with quite the bang, three more Stretch Goals unlocked and some fantastic extra content added to all packages across the board!

One of my all-time favorite Stretch Goals has been unlocked: the added pages to the book including Making Of materials and a Gallery of pin-ups by Guest Artists! 

I love working with artists and the $30K stretch goal is the perfect opportunity (or should I say excuse!) to connect with new people and watch them take characters I helped create and make them their own. I couldn't be more excited!

Thank you all so much for pledging and continuing to support TFAC! Let's keep spreading the word, upgrading pledges leaving a comment, all that helps tremendously :D

STRETCH GOALS UNLOCKED!

Maybe it's time to upgrade from the Softcover format to the new hardcover format with UV Spot Treatment on the characters over matte background. Maybe?

Project(s) Spotlight

THE SURGEON CHAPTER 6: BLOOD

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lagunastudios/the-surgeon-chapter-6-blood

Backers from past campaigns know I love to exercise the community spirit by highlighting projects from fellow creators for you to check it out. First up is a true personal favorite as I've backed this series in the past and the it just continues to amaze me.

Not only that but I personally know the crew behind it, they are all fantastic creators and just darn good people, I can't recommend this enough! They are THIS close to funding 100% with more than enough time to hit a few Stretch Goals as well :D

From their own page: "When we last saw Doc Hanover, she was standing in her undies, chucking rocks at Little Bird. Her lover had stolen everything, including her weapons and Old Paint. Yes, to some extent, she is a victim in this situation, but if you look at the larger picture, what goes around has more or less come around."

DISTRICTS OF THE YOKAI - PART I & PARTE II - A HORROR COMIC

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ghostislandcomic/districts-of-the-yokai-part-i-and-part-ii-a-horror-comic

Always a treat to recommend a project that is both fully funded and a Project We Love here on Kickstarter! Having created and fulfilled over 40 campaigns, Joseph has a true gem in his hands with enough time to keep unlocking Stretch Goals left and right :D

From his own page: "Districts of the Yokai is a 4-part Action Horror Comic series. Yuto Nakamura, a retired hitman known as "the ghost" in the underworld. Yuto has left his violent past behind to honour a promise he made to his late wife to protect their son and be a loving father. However, tragedy strikes when his son is brutally murdered by the Yokai, a powerful supernatural entity terrorizing the districts of Japan. Driven by grief and vengeance, Yuto sets out on a dangerous mission to hunt down and eliminate the Yokai responsible for his son's death."

That's it for today's Update, my friends. Thank you again for an incredible two weeks here on Kickstarter, let's keep going and let's keep unlocking cool swag for all of us banded together to help keep The Few and Cursed a truly indie enterpirse!
