IT'S TIME

🚀🚀🚀 The Kickstarter is live 🚀🚀🚀

We’re officially live on Kickstarter! After months of hard work, we’re beyond excited to finally share The Marvel Art of Mike Del Mundo with you.

Mike wanted to shout out to all the friends and fans who’ve been with me through these 15 years in the biz. This book is the sum of every drop of blood, sweat, and tears, the 12-hour days, 7 days a week, when my only coworker was a pen and my only fuel was pure passion for this thing we call comics. I still remember landing my very first gig with Marvel, it already felt like a dream come true. Fast forward 15 years, with a body of work collected into a 200-page hardcover is mind blowing. Truly humbled. Truly grateful.

I hope you all support the kickstarter. This is my Marvel baby and there’s so much to discover inside. I promise you, it will not disappoint.

Why you should back the Kickstarter

Last post, I went over the slipcase, dustjacket and sticker sheets.

Alfredo II + Marvel Art Book Update

One of the ideas of this campaign is to have a companion sketchbook filled with the original sketches and preliminaries. You can open both books and compare the original idea to the final and see the choices Mike made in the final piece. So the hardcover is your coffee table book and the sketchbook is your ideas / process junkie book. It’s like Voltron when combined it’s a different thing.

Hardcover spread will match what’s in the sketchbook for a seamless experience

Cover to the sketchbook

We also have a mock up of the puzzle which will be really fun to put together

Throwback

Now that I got the self promotion out of the way. Let’s look back at our ancient Facebook account and pull out a gem. The year is 2007, before real jobs, mortgages, kids and balding.

Jason, Marco D’Alfonso, Mike & Todd Monk. Shout out Bright Anvil Studios!

Just a bunch of young punks who wanted to make a comic together. Sequence was a passion project, we were just excited to just make a book ourselves from scratch and to actually print it. We put our whole asses into it for months so it could be ready for Fan Expo. This was the first project Mike and I worked together on which is why it felt right to share this.

Eighteen years later, Mike and I are still doing things together like this art book. Marco is still collaborating with Mike but he’s got his own things going on. Todd is all fancy now but he’s still the best. If you want to see what’s inside Sequence, let me know in the comments.

In the press

The Short Box Interview was a long time coming, Mike was suppose to be on the show a while back but life got in the way. Badr being the gentleman he is understood and welcomed Mike with open arms (he even invited me on!). It’s a great interview and you should add it to your listen list.

Thank you all for the support and love. If you can support the campaign, we’d appreciate that immensely. If you can’t, sharing it with a friend is just as good. We’ll be back with more updates.
