The Pride has launched a Kickstarter for a 260-plus-page hardcover collected edition!
Joe Glass, writer and creator of The Pride, launched a new Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the printing of a massive, oversized hardcover collection of the LGBTQ+ superhero action adventure series, The Pride.
The Pride stars FabMan as he decides enough is enough with the poor representation, treatment, and media coverage of LGBTQ+ superheroes and decides to bring together his own team of powerhouses. Including Wolf, Muscle Mary, Twink, Bear, Frost, Angel, White Trash, and Cub, the Pride fights for justice and diversity, but is the world ready for them? And when the villainous Reverend and his terrifying lackey Basher set their sights on world domination, the Pride may be all that stands between us and total chaos.
The hardcover collection will collect all six issues of The Pride volume 1, plus all three issues of anthology sister series, The Pride Adventures, along with tons of exclusive content and bonus materials. Clocking in at over 260+ pages, the Kickstarter aims to not only print the books but also bring a large print run so The Pride can reach as wide
an audience as possible.
It features artwork from a true community of incredible talent, including Kris Anka, Cory Smith, Gavin Mitchell, Jacopo Camagni, Dani Abrams, Dan Harris, Jamal Campbell, and many, many, many more!
The Kickstarter is now live! Rewards include the book in print and digital, via DRM-free PDF or Comixology, as well as prints, posters, badges, and exclusive sketches and commissions by superstar artists Kris Anka and Kevin Wada!
“The Pride has been a work from my heart for a long time, and the support of the fans and community has been out of this world,” says The Pride creator, Joe Glass. “I hope we can make something really special with this Kickstarter and bring the book to even more people all over the world.”
The Pride #1 was one of the Top 25 Comixology Submit Titles of 2014.
