Faceless and the Family

Story

A small group of outcasts from different scenarios all on the outskirts of regular society come together over time and form a bond. They never belonged anywhere or have been exiled from normalcy, for their own reasons, and this is how they relate to one another. All the misfits are looking for something; Faceless: a new face so he can reconnect with his loved ones, Giant Jerry: new memories, Carp: a sense of real love and family, Highway Hal: his long lost wife, Jan.

Think of it like an even weirder, yet heartfelt spin on The Wizard of Oz, but completely it’s own. A sci-fi/ post apocalyptic journey with strange and lovable characters.

Bio

Faceless and the Family is created, written, drawn, and hand-lettered by Eisner-nominated creator Matt Lesniewski. You probably aren’t familiar with him, but that’s okay – you can get familiar now. He’s worked on comics such as The Freak, Crimson Flower, Static, Mind MGMT Bootleg and more. Some of his comics have been published by Dark Horse Comics. All he does is draw because he’s a maniac! Give this man some money so he can relax a bit and treat his obvious mental issues (definitely not written by Matt).

“Matt L's work is the most original stuff I’ve seen in comics in years - singular voice and talent right out of the gate - once in a generation talent - waiting for the rest of the industry to catch up with him. Unbelievable work.” - MATT KINDT

Timeline

As you’re reading this, I have three issues completely drawn, lettered and ready to print. The whole story is also scripted. All I have left is to draw the last two issues. With the amount of time and effort I’ve been putting into each and every panel to make this book everything it can be, each issue has taken me roughly two months. So, I’m aiming at everything being finished by the end of 2022/the very beginning of 2023. But, I promise I will not let you down and this will be finished. That’s not a question.

Printing and shipping should take around three to four months from that point, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done around May/June 2023.

The pandemic has shown that certain conditions are simply out of anybody’s hands. However, Zoop will always be here to communicate with backers should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.
