Cavemen in Space Short Story


A few years ago, before starting on Cavemen in Space, I did a little warm up story with all of the characters and motifs that I wanted to use. It was a good exercise and I made the story into a mini-comic. The mini has since gone out of print, so I thought that I should share the story online for all to see! The story is full-color and features all of the characters, if somewhat briefly, from the book. Enjoy!

I have updated my Comics section with a link, or you can read the story directly here.

Remember, you have about a month to donate to the CiS Fund and to preorder the book at your local comic shop!

CiS Fund Month 2: BONUS PRIZES!


Well, we're entering the second month of my Cavemen in Space Fundraiser. What's happening?

In the first month we've raised $1548! I am very grateful to those who have supported by donating and/or spreading the word. This leaves me with about 2 months to raise $2000. Things are looking good so far, but I can't afford to slow down!

If you haven't already, I encourage everyone to check out my blog for a weekly in-depth look at each of the donation levels. So far I've posted a lot about my new mini-comics series Mermin, with some preview art and a review of my first books, The Ride Home and Tales of Unusual Circumstance. Coming up is more info about Cavemen in Space itself, some examples of custom artwork made for donators, and more!

The other big development is that I've introduced some bonus prizes for donators of $150 or more! The first 4 to donate Level 7 or up will receive individual, handcrafted woolly mammoths! More info and photos about that can be seen here.

I appreciate any support, be it donations or assistance spreading the word. Please take a look at CiS Fund to see what kinds of rewards you can receive for donations!
