Great Outdoor Fight Archives: 2020 Re-release Alternate Covers
Added 2024-07-17 18:06:08 +0000 UTCOni Press — before the great Belly-Uppiting Act of 2021, which killed the Achewood Complete Canon project, among a very many other things — had intended to release a paperback version of The Great Outdoor Fight at Comicon. This is one of the directions I had taken with new cover art; also included here is a very Téodor set of typography tests.
It kills me that I have so much of this neat archival stuff hanging around and don't post it often enough. Here you have my solemn vow, Author's Tier, that I will make archival digs a much more regular feature of your experience. You have proven time and again that I am unlikely to "overdo it" when it comes to trotting out old stuff — I'm so certain that new content is all anybody wants that I forget the unseen archives still have plenty of value.
Interesting historical note: It was in the Oni office that I first heard about Covid. It was early March of 2020, and Harrison, the guy who handled stuffed animals and pins and things (ordering them, not fondling them) — said we couldn't order any plushies at the time because "something was happening in China with that Covid thing," and that we'd have to wait until it blew over. Well, Harrison, I'm still looking forward to your call, wherever you are now.

You are clearly correct and a person of the finest emotion and taste. Myself, I was looking at the six cover slate and decided every one of them were clearly the best especially the third and fourth.
