Tigress Island sales are probably a combination of all the things you mentioned. A quality book, EPHK’s art rocks, Gehenna is a really fun comic and comic sales right now seem to be on a high, it’s a perfect storm. Timing is everything. Also congrats on the books success, very much deserved.

Thank you. I'll take any combo that comes my way. Though I confess a tiny bit of anxiety about being part of any boom.

You know as much as anyone, put a piece of art/media/entertainment etc out into the world and sometimes it takes on a life of it’s own. If your enjoying the process of creating this book, I say just relaxe and enjoy the fruits of your labour cuz you never know if this opportunity or moment will ever happen again. You’ve been making comics for quite a while now so i’d say you’ve earned it.

I bought the comic because I backed one of EPHK’s kickstarters. Love his stuff. Discovered you and this newsletter through the let’s talk Comics podcast.

That's very nice to hear. The Kickstarter-to-direct-market pipeline has never been actualized and it would be great if it was becoming more of a thing.

Really excited to read Tigress Island #1 selling so well, congratulations! Hoping for your continued success and upward trajectory. Can’t wait to have the book in my hands.
