Neil is the founder of TPub Comics. He loves collaborating with other writers and artists. He is very passionate about the comic book medium and believes it is one of the most efficient ways to communicate concepts. If you want to annoy him, just mention how you think comics are for kids - his reaction is a common source of amusement. He gives talks about comics and how people can use them at work and study. Indeed, he wont stop yammering on about this, but audiences seem to like hearing him, so he continues his mission to get more and more people reading and creating comics. He lives in London with his wife, two children and seemingly endless household visitors.
Here's a closer look at some examples of sketch options available from artist Veronica Saraceno!
The comic is completely finished, as are future parts of the story (wink wink!), and we should be going to print shortly after funding. We estimate the whole process to get everything printed, shipped to our fulfillment partner and sent out to all supporters to be about 3-4 months.
So estimated delivery is February 2022 - and we'll keep you updated all along the way!
Hello Backers,
Sorry, this update has taken so long. But the good news is THE FIRST ISSUE OF TRICKSTER IS AT THE PRINTERS.
This took waaaay too long - months more than we had thought, but a series of unfortunate events left our well-laid plans spiraling out of control.
(We even missed what we’d hoped would be our drop-dead date – St. Patrick’s Day. Although, to be fair, that’s because Neil got tipsy and deleted all the files).
But, now we’re at the stage where we’re setting all the final parameters with the printer – which means soon there will be another update with a date for when the books will be done. shipped to Zoop, and then, finally, FINALLY, sent to you.
We appreciate your outlandish patience – and can only try to console you with news that the first five issues of the series have been completed in the interim. Which means by the time you get your limited-edition, Giant Sized copy of TRICKSTER #1 – we’ll have everything ready for the trade.
To thank you for that patience – please find a bonus digital copy of issue #1 here, so you can read the story (this is just the interior art – we want to save SOME goodies for the real deal!)
Speaking of… we’ll have some MORE goodies for you soon – including bonus stories from Neil and I to say “thanks” for supporting us, and again, for that patience.
All the best!
Conor and Neil
Happy St. Patrick's Day, from the Trickster team!
The book is now print-ready and just about to be sent off to the printers!
Thank you all for hanging in there while we cleaned up a few things on our end (and picked up a new book designer while we were at it), but things are finally looking in the clear to move forward.
Can't wait for you all to see it!
Hey everyone - just letting you know that comic is done and the files are being formatted and are almost ready to be submitted over to the printer to start that process. Stay tuned for a status update on the printing hopefully soon!
OK credit cards have now been charged -- thank you everyone again for your support in getting this comic made! We'll be sorting out a few special cases and reaching out to all of the Commissions and Master Class supporters to set up next steps with you over the next few weeks. And then the book should be off to the printers. We'll keep you posted!
Still some Commissions, a Master Class and Original Art available, in addition to those sweet variant covers! Let's spread the word and end with a big ol' bang!
Let's have some fun! This is Fintain. He's one of the main characters of Trickster. He's fun, and furry, and we'd like to see how YOU would draw him! We're selecting 2 drawings to include in the oversized 48 page Trickster #1! Want to see your art in comics? Then use the hashtag #drawtrickster, and submit yours today!

Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.
We use Stripe for checkout, and the interface is entirely pre-made by them. Once there, you have 15 minutes to complete the transaction.
Please e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll get right back to you!
You could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.
Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS.
Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.
If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.
No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it! And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.
YES! We encourage you to purchase more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.
