It happens to all of us, at some point. You’re standing in a comic shop, looking at shelf after shelf of lookalike titles and wondering, “Why isn’t there ever anything really new and different? Something fresh? Something with both action and intrigue, magic and mirth? Something like Keith R.A. DeCandido‘s awesome fantasy police procedural Dragon Precinct, except in graphic-novel format?”

Ask yourself this heartbreaking question no more, for your plaint is soon to be answered, your thirst for novelty slaked, your appetite for fresh adventure satisfied! SF/F grandmaster Keith R.A. DeCandido and veteran graphic novel illustrator J.K. Woodward have teamed up to adapt Keith’s acclaimed Dragon Precinct novel into a stunning new independently published graphic novel—but they need your help to do it.

These two gents need to raise a fairly hefty sum to cover production and printing costs on even a modest run of this new graphic novel, so they’ve started a Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of Dragon Precinct: The Graphic Novel.

You can pledge whatever amount you’re comfortable with to help them out. The more you pledge, the better your reward gifts will be when this project gets fully funded. If by some tragic injustice it doesn’t get fully funded, your pledge becomes null and void, so there’s no risk. You’ll either get something cool, or else you’ll pay nothing. Can’t get much fairer than that.

So hie thee to their page at the link above, and pledge unto their cause a generous sum so that the mighty pen of J.K. Woodward can render the Castle Guard and the denizens of Cliff’s End in living color on glossy paper.
