ALL the original stretch goals have already been hit!
Extra Cover Art! $40k ✅
A Special Ernest Intro to the Book! $45k ✅
Extra Splash Pages! $50k ✅
Gold Gilded Edges! $55k ✅
Ernest fans RULE! And we've got a couple more for you to really make this book feel like a collector's item.
If we hit 80k: We'll bring in Marvel artist Justin Mason—famous for illustrating the super popular Spider-Punk, Spider-Man 2099, Sentinels, and most recently a cover for Keanu Reeves' BRZRKR—to create an exclusive cover illustration inside the book! This will be included in both editions, so everyone gets to enjoy it!
If we hit 100k: We'll add foil stamps to the cover. Together with those gold-gilded edges, this will make the book a truly amazing collector's item. I can't wait!
