Skybound announced the campaign for the Kickstarter-exclusive The Book of Shame: An Extra Fabulous Experience, which will collect over 150 of the best of Zach M. Stafford’s irreverent humor webcomic series Extra Fabulous in print for the first time. Fans can sign up for the mailing list of shame now to receive all campaign details and updates ahead of its launch on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, at 6 a.m. PT.
Presenting commentary on themes such as life, death, and the daily millennial existential crisis of mere existence through absurd relatable humor combined with honest emotion, The Book of Shame includes 24 book-exclusive comics from Stafford, creator of Extra Fabulous, Deogie and Pervis comics.
“This book was lovingly crafted out by me, Zach M. Stafford, and now you can hold this big piece of craft in your own filthy hands. Please enjoy it!”
Fans will also have access to a second special Kickstarter-exclusive hardcover book called It’s Pervis Time! featuring the character Pervis.
While the campaign will highlight the all-new Book of Shame and It’s Pervis Time!, this is an Extra Fabulous Experience, where backers will also be granted access to Stafford’s previous books Good Comics for Bad People and the Kickstarter-exclusive book Deogie. The campaign will also feature rewards and other stretch goals to be announced.
Previous Skybound campaign backers and mailing list members will receive a Kickstarter-exclusive Pervis pin.
The Book of Shame is Stafford’s second Extra Fabulous Experience Kickstarter with Skybound. His first is the fourth most funded webcomics Kickstarter of all time, receiving nearly $475,000 in pledges.
The Extra Fabulous Experience Kickstarter campaigns continue Skybound’s success bringing acclaimed webcomics to print for the first time, from the record-breaking Kickstarter campaigns for Michelle Fus’ Ava’s Demon to J.L. Westover’s Mr. Lovenstein to Mac Smith’s Scurry.
“Zach M. Stafford is the king of webcomics and we’re thrilled to be teaming up with him for a brand new Extra Fabulous Experience.” Said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Zach has loads of surprises in store for this campaign, including a final stretch goal that will have Extra Fabulous fans salivating.”
Skybound continues to uphold its reputation as the biggest name in comic book publisher crowdfunding, setting records with the most funded comics campaign on Kickstarter with G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, and the most funded webcomic, Ava’s Demon Book Two: Aftermath. Skybound’s record-breaking slate of graphic novel campaigns that have elevated a diverse group of voices also includes Extremity: Signature Edition, Ava’s Demon Book One: Reborn, Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure, Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Feelings, Excellence, and The King-Killing Queen.
The Book of Shame: An Extra Fabulous Experience campaign will be live on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, at 6am PT, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign on Wednesday, November 13, at 12 p.m. PT.
