A First Newsletter (Sort Of)

First of all, thank you!

You’re only receiving this email because you once downloaded my first short comic, This Train Terminates Here.

The front cover of the comic book 'This Train Terminates Here'. It's a scene of a busy train station, with a white man standing with his back to us, and a bomb spilling out of his bag.
Here’s the cover. Just to remind you.

I massively appreciate your past support and wanted to let you know that I’m in the process of releasing a new comic book:

EVEN THE STARS WILL FALL

Front cover of 'Even The Stars Will Fall'. It features a young Black woman rendered in a painterly style, against a bifurcated white and purple background.
Pretty nice, right?

This is an original Afro-Futurist story that explores what happens when family secrets, imperial advances, and the tension between tradition and modernity all collide.

I continued working with renowned editor and letterer, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou for this project, but the art was done by the phenomenal Bimpe Alliu.

We’re in the middle of a Kickstarter (which funded in the first 12 hours 🥳), so if you’d like to get your hands on a physical or digital copy of this comic book:

JUST PLEDGE HERE

As thanks for your past support, I’ll throw in a couple of pages in here you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Comic book page showing a young person wearing a glowing green mask and playing a green, glowing flute.
Who is this? What are they doing? All great questions that may or may not be answered in the comic.

Features a young woman knelt before 3 people sitting in the roots of a tree. Each of the three are wearing glowing masks.
Oooh. Mysterious.

Anyway, that’s all I wanted to say for now. I hope to have enough work in future to keep this newsletter going on a somewhat regular (but not annoyingly regular) basis.

If you’re interested in hearing from me again, I’d love you to subscribe at the top of this email. But if you’d rather not, no stress at all. Our inboxes are full to bursting and I know you’ve got to be precious with your attention.

Signing off,

Folarin

P.S. To all of you who’ve already backed ‘Even The Stars Will Fall’, I can’t thank you enough 🙏🏿

P.P.S. If you want to make any suggestions for what I should call this newsletter, that would be helpful.
