AWA presents a collectible edition of the hit series with new full-length story, wraparound cover by Amanda Conner, and rare backmatter
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
If we get over 15 backers in the TEMPORAL INSIDER tier, which features an in-book sketch from Goran Sudžuka and an in-book signature from Garth Ennis (plus tons of other cool features, like an exclusive slipcase on the hardcover edition book and tons of add-ons), then we will do a raffle for 3 different pieces of original art to anyone who is a backer in that tier.
If we can get over 15 backers in this tier, then 3 of those backers will win an original page of art! Do the math — that’s some good odds to win ORIGINAL MARJ ART if you’re in this tier!
PLUS — yes, there’s more — Goran dug into his archives and picked 3 amazing full-page splash pages from the original MARJORIE FINNEGAN series that are now for sale as add-ons in this campaign. This is your chance to own an original page of art from this Garth Ennis and Goran Sudžuka original series!
We talked to Goran this week about his work on MARJORIE FINNEGAN, collaborating with Garth Ennis, and some of his past work in comics (like Y: THE LAST MAN with Brian K. Vaughan, and OUTLAW NATION with Jamie Delano).
Here is one of our favorite answers, but you can read the full interview here.
Were there any instances where feedback or dialogue with Garth Ennis led to significant changes or additions to the artwork?
There weren't many notes from Garth on Marj, but I remember one particular note that even Garth described as "the weirdest note in his whole career" — in the 2nd issue there's a certain celebrity with a turd on his head. After I sent the penciled page, Garth asked for a change. I drew classic cartoony spiraled poop and Garth asked for an "elongated, realistic one, to make sure it's a human turd, not dog poop."
We’re so happy that so many of you saw value in upgrading your pledge, with many of you jumping into the CHEERS WITH GARTH tier!

CHEERS WITH GARTH tier includes your ticket to an exclusive Zoom event with Garth Ennis and Axel Alonso — a rare opportunity as Garth Ennis pulls back the curtain on his behind-the-scenes creative process and shares the bounty of his many stories and insights from his long career in comics. You also get the 4-print variant cover set from superstar artists Frank Cho, Mike Deodato Jr., Glenn Fabry, and Johnny Desjardins, and the standard sticker pack. Not to mention you are eligible to receive all the stretch goals our community unlocks throughout this campaign — like the Tula Lotay variant print (unlocked soon at $75,000). To top it all off, we throw in a digital copy of the extended MARJORIE FINNEGAN adventure (and another free comic... scroll down to see more). What we’re trying to say is — you’re getting bang for your buck with the CHEERS WITH GARTH tier.
To make the CHEERS WITH GARTH tier even better, we will be giving everyone in this tier and above a FREE digital edition of THE RIBBON QUEEN, written by Garth Ennis with art from Jacen Burrows! Reading this gripping horror series before the Zoom event is a must, so what better way to prepare than with a free copy! You can currently read issue 1 for free HERE.
