Cosmocopia is in the final stretch!

For all you Paul DiFilippo and Jim Woodring fans:

Cosmocopia, in all of it's complex glory, is off to the printer. We'd posted below some comps and reference images for each component of the project. We hope that you'll enjoy it!

We're having an opening party for Cosmocopia at the Fantagraphics Store in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle on October 11, 2008. In attendance will be Jim Woodring and Paul DiFilippo, and the first physical copies of Cosmocopia. If you're local (or even if you're not) you should try and stop by!

Note: due to the complexity and deluxeishness of the project, we're raising the release price to $65. The pre-order price of $50 will still be in effect until October 11, 2008, so if you want to save some cash, order up now! (Pre-orders will have priority on the lower release numbers).


Check out Paul's recent interview and what he says about the project.
