FIGGY UPDATE! After several delays beyond our control, the books are finally printed. There are things to sign and a lot of sorting and packing to do, but Gold Key assures me they ship in about 3 weeks. Thank you for your patience while we struggled to make FIGGY FURTHERMORE more than a figment!

Did you know you can preorder a copy of THE LAND OF NOD 260 page Ultimate Edition? Did you know it collects all my first sustained works from the whiney nineties, some of it for the first time, ever? Did you know it’s crowdfunding now for a limited time go.blackeye.ca/nod ? Yeah? Cool.

0104

🇨🇦Jay Stephens🇨🇦 @jstephenscomics.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Another cool thing about THE LAND OF NOD ultimate edition is that it matches up perfectly with the other Black Eye Books editions (JETCAT & FRIENDS, DEJECTS, DWELLINGS), creating a thematic ‘Jay Stephens Library’. Here is a photo in gritty anaglyph 3D to show you how REAL THIS IS go.blackeye.ca/nod

HALF WAY OVER! Have you snagged your copy of The Land Of Nod ultimate edition, yet? Crowdfunding for a LIMITED TIME ONLY from go.blackeye.ca/nod … free temporary tattoo for folks at 200 backers.

🇨🇦Jay Stephens🇨🇦 @jstephenscomics.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Real photo of real Nod tattoo sent to me from a fan c. 1993. If YOU’d like to capture that indie grunge vibe, our first stretch goal for The Land of Nod (at 200 backers) will gift every physical copy of the book with a classic 1990s ‘Nod’ design as a temporary tattoo! go.blackeye.ca/nod

The complete SINISTER HORDE tales in full colour have been collected in THE LAND OF NOD ultimate edition … crowdfunding now! Not seen in print for 34 years. Why? WHO? Find out go.blackeye.ca/nod

🇨🇦Jay Stephens🇨🇦 @jstephenscomics.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Why red-orange & black for the Land Of Nod? To keep the 1930s vibe of the B&W comics I went back to the source for inspo! To cut costs, some strips back then were printed in 2 colour with the cheapest of red inks… low quality vermilion chosen for its price and opaque coverage. go.blackeye.ca/nod

🇨🇦Jay Stephens🇨🇦 @jstephenscomics.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

As I revisit THE LAND OF NOD ( go.blackeye.ca/nod ) for the ultimate colour collection, it's weird how many recurring themes show up in my work! These two sequences drawn 3 DECADES apart, for example (Sin Comics 1994, Dwellings 2023).

051

🇨🇦Jay Stephens🇨🇦 @jstephenscomics.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Holy moly! The response to the vintage original art available via THE LAND OF NOD crowdfunder has been incredible! You guys. Only nine pages of historic Canadian alt comix left! go.blackeye.ca/nod

I finally got to homage the great Harvey Kurtzman for 💀EC’s💀 SHELLSHOCK, a 56-page war anthology coming this August from @onipress . Drawn by hand, just like our ancestors did. War is Hell, and so is AI. This one’s a tribute to the legendary FRONTLINE COMBAT no.7 ‘Iwo Jima’ cover from 1952.

Woke up this morning fully funded by you wonderful early backers! Thank you everyone. Preorders of the limited edition LAND OF NOD full colour collection continue, for those who missed out on this 1990s Canadian indie comic the first time around. Or, you know, weren’t born yet. go.blackeye.ca/nod

🇨🇦Jay Stephens🇨🇦 @jstephenscomics.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Some fans got excited that the LAND OF NOD ultimate edition announcement (currently crowdfunding! - go.blackeye.ca/nod ) was about NEW Nod comics... so in case you're bummed out, I'm posting a NEW Coxwell The Badly Drawn Ghost strip on my ko-fi every Wednesday during the campaign. Deal? Deal.

🇨🇦Jay Stephens🇨🇦 @jstephenscomics.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

My very first comic character, Coxwell, says "Thank You" to all our backers. Nearly reached our crowdfunding goal on day one! Love you folks. go.blackeye.ca/nod

I OWN THE TUTENSTEIN RIGHTS. This question comes up often and it’s high time to officially clarify. Wanna make a new TUTENSTEIN cartoon? I’m the only one you need to ask. 10 years after the airing of the last Emmy Award winning animated episode, all rights reverted to me in 2018. He’s my mummy.

I’m having a really bad day (month, 5 months), but at least the Fantastic Four are coming. Been a big fan since childhood. Feels hopeful? #fantasticfour
