PRESS RELEASE
Introducing Peregrines: Flights, Fiends, & Fisticuffs! A new collection of previously sold out adventures from your favourite team of high-flying spies.
“Triple F” (as creators Chris Sanagan and Jason Lapidus lovingly refer to it) includes four Peregrines stories plus bonus material. Order your copy today and access exclusive campaign items like original Peregrines sketches, illustrated by series artist Jason Lapidus.
About Peregrines: Flights, Fiends, & Fisticuffs
Whether sneaking into a Bavarian castle, uncovering a secret cult beneath the ruins of Roman London, dodging death in the Rocky Mountains or fighting to liberate a subterranean paradise in the Alberta Badlands, the Peregrines will need to think fast and strike faster!
Featuring four standalone adventures, Peregrines: Flights, Fiends, & Fisticuffs is the result of a purposefully frenetic approach to collaborative storytelling, each story written, illustrated and released in the span of a month. High energy and even higher stakes!
Originally released as webcomics on Instagram and then printed in limited quantities, this volume collects the sold out Peregrines: The Obstacle Course and Peregrines: Londinium and soon-to-be-sold-out Peregrines: Hunter’s Moon and Peregrines: Badlands.
It is everything that you love and have come to expect from Group of 7 Comics and our unique bend of pulpy historical fiction full of action, adventure and intrigue.
Your Support
Full disclosure. This is not an all-or-nothing fundraising campaign. We will be printing Peregrines: Flights, Fiends, & Fisticuffs despite whether this campaign reaches its fundraising goal or not. We are asking you to help fund the printing cost of 300 units up front.
It is no surprise that we fund our comic book-making endeavours from sales of our comics and out of our own pockets. While we ultimately do this because we love the medium and we love creating stories, it is something we do in addition to our day jobs, which means we make cost-informed decisions about the present and future of Group of 7 Comics. More $ in the bank (whether from sales or fundraising), makes those decisions easier and more palatable for our families. It allows us to make strategic decisions about what and when to release. It allows us to bring our comics to new and larger audiences (last year for example, comic book sales helped fund our participation in the 51st edition of the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d’Angoulême in France, the 3rd-largest comic arts festival in the world). Simply put, it helps us grow.
If you decide to support, we thank you in advance! But you know what? If supporting us financially at this time just isn’t in the cards (we completely understand), you can help out by spreading the word, checking out our website, sharing our info or following us on our socials (@groupof7comics). At the end of day, YOU play a big part in Group of 7 Comics. This is a journey and we’re happy you’re along for the ride.
