Two years ago over 400 people supported the first volume of Modern Mythology, which was called Modern Mythology: The Heroes Journey. The excitement behind that book and the positive responses were overwhelming, and we actually started working on this new volume shortly after.
What are the rewards?
The comics created in this Kickstarter are limited edition. The book is nearly complete and ready to go to print in September.
Modern Mythology: Folklore Retold is a 192 page softcover anthology collection featuring 21 stories. We are offering four different cover choices and extras including trading cards and a die-cut sticker.
