August: Purgatory Underground - Book One
by Benjamin Morse
This hardcover artbook and collection includes AUGUST: PURGATORY UNDERGROUND issues 1-4, a 13 page prequel story assembled from various development drafts and almost a decade of sketches, designs, story and art that went into the development of Purgatory Underground.
As a long civil war ends, the once celebrated hero CAPTAIN AUGUST finds himself in the center of an intergalactic controversy. Running out of time and options, he accepts a dangerous mission to a decaying planet- and finds that the war isn't nearly over! An action-packed sci-fi thriller that remixes the nostalgia of 80's cartoons in a contemporary style!

Timeline
The hardcover should be ready for print right around the end of campaign. Ben has the files ready, but if any extras are added during the campaign he'll have to make those edits before sending the files to the printer.
We anticipate a December '23 fulfillment after a successful campaign, and will provide updates and communicate any delays that may pop up.
A few short answers to how this works.
