The beautifully-illustrated book tells the stories of the NWMP's Sam Steele as he attempts to bring order to the Yukon territory during the gold rush years. As if the actual conditions were not already difficult enough to content with, writer Scott Schmidt mixes in some mystical elements for our hero to face.
Each book can be read individually so you could purchase just this particular issue without feeling as though you've missed anything, but Schmidt announced an extension to a specific backer reward which proved to be popular and would make a great access point for someone new to the book. See below.
When the Early Bird "Placer Mine" reward went like hot cakes, I planned on making another 25 available, but I think I can do one better than that. For the rest of the campaign ANYONE will be able to get all three (print) issues of Steele Vs, the bookmark/coaster combo, digital sketchbook and one small print for just $20 plus shipping! Not to mention all the great digital comics continually being added to every reward tier and some surprises down the road!
I know this is a crass and inappropriate use of your comments section -- but I didn't notice a contact/email link for your blog...
ReplyDeleteMy name is D.K. Latta; I've had stories in Tesseracts Nineteen and Masked Mosaic ("The Secret History of the Intrepids" -- which I believe you liked in your review). I've recently completed a collection of prose Canadian superhero stories and am now looking to get the word out and your site seemed like an obvious place. If you're interested, the webpage is at http://www.pulpanddagger.com/dk_latta
and I could even provide a review copy (in electronic format) if you'd like -- for good or ill. Even a bad review could be good...not for ME, of course, but as a guide for another writer to avoid my mistakes :) I can be reached at titmus_77@yahoo.com
End of shameless self-promotion.
Quite all right, D.K. I used to have a contact option, but no one used it. ;-)
DeleteI know (and enjoy) your work and in fact, recently completed the T19 story. Good stuff. Thanks for drawing my attention to this newest project, I shall give it a closer look (and probably by the print version once it's available).
Oh, and I promise a review on Amazon. I know that's a bigger deal than most people realize.
DeleteThnx! (And glad you liked the T19 story) I should also ad I like your site (didn't say that up-front because I didn't want to seem like I was just schmoozing lol). It lends a sense of community to what, otherwise, can be isolated projects.
DeleteI should clarify: I meant I could provide the host/author of They Stand on Guard with a review copy.
