We're selling the original, too. So if you want some more glorious Anderson artwork, check out the campaign. Chris has also opened up a couple of commission spots if you're looking for something specific.
This campaign is about bringing an illustrated fantasy novel to life, but we've also put together an added bonus: a solo journaling roleplaying game called Cold Steel, No Glamour that allows you to create your own "truth seeker," who attempts to stop a series of killings in the City of Illusion.
Thanks for your attention, and please check out the campaign for more details!
Best,
David
Something Seems Off and City of Illusion: new stuff from Anderson and Accampo

Hello Spectralites! We hope the spooky season is treating you well. We're back with a quick update about TWO new projects we are each launching THIS month!
First, you may have already seen that Chris has launched a Kickstarter for his original tale, previously serialized in Heavy Metal: Something Seems Off!
Truly bizarre and totally awesome, SSO is a must-have for Spectral fans -- it's pure Anderson madness, and it had an amazing launch day with over 300% of its backing!
City is a mystery novel set in the medieval fantasy realm known as The Glimmer. Roghnar Trogg is the one man in The Glimmer who refuses to use magic. Instead, he makes his living as a truth seeker, cleaving fact from magical fiction with only his wits and his steel.
City is ALSO a Chris Anderson collaboration -- he's agreed to draw several illustrations for the interior of the novel!
And what's more: I'm also releasing a companion to the novel: a solo journaling RPG that I devised with illustrator/designer Byron Mosley. We call it Cold Steel, No Glamour, and we think it's a perfect complement to the novel, allowing you to build your own truth seeker to investigate a series of killings in the Glimmer.
Cold Steel mockup - Not Final Product.
The City campaign launches next week, but I'd love for anyone interested to click the link above to visit the official "prelaunch" page to be notified when we launch. I'm offering a couple of early bird specials, so you'll definitely want that heads up!
Best, David Accampo
PLANETOID RAIDERS!!!

Hey everyone!
It has been a minute. I wanted to shine a light on a new campaign that is not only AWESOME, but that I got to play a small part in.
Planetoid Raiders is an all-new line of action figures that is based on the knock/off space battle line that beat Kenner to the punch on the ‘77 Christmas season. These little guys are rad as rad can get. Both gnarly AND tubular.
I helped by illustrating a cool mini-comic that pays homage to Larry Hama’s classic toy related comic, Silent Interlude. SLOOG INTERLUDE follows SLOOG as he tiptoes along to rescue his emperor. Maybe I’m bias, but it’s something you should have in your collection. Check it out.
Wandering Planets Toys' Gavin Hignight and Chris “Doc” Wyatt have created an out of this world line of retro-style action figures, featuring the coolest, quirkiest space travelers ever known to the universe: The Planetoid Raiders! Who are these intergalactic aliens? Inspired by Kenner Toys’ 1978 Star Wars action figures, and their off-the-wall competitor Tomland Toys’ Starroid Raiders – each PLANETOID RAIDER is a lovingly designed tribute to classic scifi toys and a striking piece of contemporary art. Fans can collect each limited edition, 5-point articulated, 1:18 Scale figure on Kickstarter, including brave Captain Oton, heroic Helmsman Ryot, WarLor the Mysterious Space Traveler, the trusty rusty robot Yogun, and the rest of the team! Wandering Planet’s motley crew is ready for whatever cosmic adventures collectors can dream up.
PLANETOID RAIDERS: Wave 1 are available on retro-inspired card backs or pre-packed in a metal lunchbox-style collector’s case. Wandering Planet Toys has created an 8 page “Sloog Interlude” mini-comic titled written by Chris “Doc” Wyatt with art by Chris Anderson (American Caper) available exclusively through the Kickstarter campaign.

Galaxy Gods by James Coats

Hey everyone,
Rare update here just to give a shoutout to a project that I want everyone to know about. Galaxy Gods is by James Coats. I say this with all sincerity, that James is my favorite artist that nobody knows about. He's like my little secret. I keep buying up originals, knowing that they're like gold. GalaxyGods is a Kirby-esque, fun, action comic that we all need in our lives right now. Pure joy and escapism. The best part is that there are TWO issues you can get RIGHT NOW!
Here are some examples of the interior pages. James' work on this is clearly influenced by Jack Kirby, the King and undisputed heavyweight champion of comics. But to me there are elements of Jeff Darrow and Ren and Stimpy, Paul Pope and Doug Wildey. All in all though, James is James. An artist unto himself.
Rewards include the books, a sketchbook of things James has doodled, Limited small sketches, original pages from GG 1 & 2 (You know I got one of those), originals from Family Fun no. 18, the celebrated Stardust book that he and his brother, John, created together and this stunning variant cover by STARSEEDS and NOOSPHERE creator Charles Glaubitz. So if I haven't enticed you by now, you might want to check your pulse. While you're at it, head over to POWER PULP COMICS to find more creators of the highest calibre and get their books sent to your door or to a retailer near you (James and I are co-founders and we think you'll live it. Sorry for the plug).
