Thanks everyone for backing!
Let Me Know
Let me know if any items are missing or incorrect or if you haven't received yours by September. I always want to make sure everything is taken care of!
Issue 7 Info
Who's ready for more?! I'm SO excited to get this next one going. Issue 7 starts a brand new chapter in Sapphire Spectre's life/death. She goes face to face, literally, with the legendary Chicago Mothman! Also starts a budding new romance! Will they make it past the first date??
Look out for Issue 7 to launch by the end of September!
Covers are coming in for it too and they're gorgeous! Here's a little sample of my Amazing 316 homage cover!
Cheers!

Books Are In!
Sapphire Spectre 6 is back from the printer and looks amazing! Can't wait to get it out to y'all!
Sticker Playset!
So I'm always looking for fun, practical, new ways to hook you all up with goodies. I'm still doing individual sketch cards as always, but this time I decided it might be cool to have a little fun with stickers! You'll all be getting a Sapphire sticker, a Violet sticker and a Sapphire weapon sticker. I'm making two of the prints be backgrounds for said stickers so you can make your own little fridge display! :-D It'll look something like this:
Position them how you want like a Colorform playset! I might cut off Violet Void's head with a scissors and use a paint marker to add a buncha Mortal Kombat style blood, but that's just me. I'm nuts. Go wild with your arrangement! If you guys like this I may do it again with more characters and props and backgrounds!
Backerkit Coming Very Soon
Keep an eye out for those Backerkit store items and surveys dropping soon!
What's Next?!
Thanks everyone for making this so awesome again! Sapphire Spectre 7 is coming towards the end of the summer! It's done and I'm putting the finishing touches on it all now. Here's a little preview:
Cheers~!

One Day To Go! A Few Things---

Hey Everyone! A Few Things!
First of all, THANK YOU!
I'm constantly amazed that my book is still striking a chord, even in this fickle economy. I appreciate every last one of you!
Cara Nicole's Bass Guitar Cover Is COVER E
It was pointed out to me that under the "covers" header on the main page that I had the two images swapped for E and F. Everywhere else it states that Cara's bass guitar cover is COVER E, like the top string of a bass, tuned to E. I apologize for any confusion if anyone went off that graphic. I'll double check with all single Cara cover backers to make sure you're getting the one you wanted in case you don't read this and hopefully don't need to switch.
All Physical Backers Will Get The Digital Library
There were some questions from physical backers about how to obtain the digital library so f*** it, if you back physically, you get the library link. Putting my foot down on that one. I want people READING this stuff. It's more than just gimmicks and covers to me. Read Read Read! :-D
Several Upper Tiers Are On Sale Now
Just in case anyone who already backed was thinking of upgrading. I didn't change the price on any tiers that were already backed. Just ones I'm looking to push more. Like the 11x17 drawing and the acrylic painting etc. I wanna draw stuff for ya ;-)
Future Plans!
There's lots more in store from PunkNComix. I've already completed issue 7, I'm drawing issue 8 now, I plan on collecting the old graphic novels into a "phone book" and writer Kevin Folliard and I are working on a project called Dolphin: The Improv Comic which will be pure insane Adult Swim style comedy.
So there's lots to look forward to and I plan on upping the schedule of how fast I get these campaigns going. After all, I really want you to experience this saga in its completed form before we all go gray. I have 15 or a bit more issues planned (this is all going somewhere epic) and then when all is said and done, you can read the entire saga. That's the ultimate goal!
I hope you all stick around for future adventures of The Sapphire Spectre. I have the final ending planned, and it's killer. We're about half way there and picking up speed.
Here's some previews of things to come in the next two. Issue 7 will feature my own spin on the legendary Chicago MOTHMAN sightings, Issue 8 will feature The Violet Void returning and twice as psychotic. Enjoy, thank you all, and share this campaign with anyone who might be interested on this last day!
