Buy Tonoharu: Part Two in our STORE>>>

I just got copies of Tonoharu: Part Two in over the weekend, and would be delighted to exchange them for your hard-earned cash! Be one of the first to get a copy, weeks before they’re available in stores!

The cost is $19.95 USD, plus shipping ($2.38 to USA, $5.01 to Canada, and $10.76 to anywhere in the rest of the world). MN residents pay 7.125% sales tax. To order, click on the “buy now” button (you’ll need either a credit card or a Paypal account).

One more thing: By default, I’ll sign all copies and include a little doodle. If you’d prefer your copy unsigned, or would like it made out to someone or whatever, click on the “Add special instructions to the seller” link on the checkout page:

And then type your instructions into the text box that appears:

That should do it. Please share this entry on twitter/facebook/wherever to get the word out! Thanks!

As I write this, copies of Tonoharu: Part Two are en route from the book binder to me. I should have copies to sell by next Monday, October 4th, so stop back next week to order yours!

In the meantime, I thought I’d have one last artwork preview before the book comes out.

For all these previews, I’ve been careful to pick artwork that was spoiler-free, which excluded some of my favorite panels. Maybe once Tonoharu: Part Two is widely available I’ll show some of those panels, but for now this is it.

Check back Monday to get your copy of the book, folks! Oh boy!

Big News! I’ve talked to my book printer, and I should have copies of Tonoharu: Part Two to sell in about two or three weeks a week!

The exact date I’ll be getting them is still up in the air, and will depend on shipping times and stuff like that. But it won’t be long now!

Unfortunately I can’t take preorders, because Paypal doesn’t let you do that, and I don’t want to take people’s money until I actually have books in hand. But I’ll be updating the site with any new information as I get it, and will put up a link to buy the book just as soon as I have them in stock.

So check back folks!

*9-29-2010 UPDATE* I’ll probably have them sometime next week! Wow!

I recently got some Tonoharu: Part Two stuff back from the book printer, so I thought I’d show it here.

Above is an unfolded dust jacket; below is a mock-up of how it’ll look folded up.

Detail

The printer also sent me “folded and gathered” signatures (or “F&Gs”). Basically this is the complete book, except it isn’t bound together, as you can see from the image below.

Here’s the first page from the comic:

And a detail of the last two panels:

I’m really excited with how all these turned out. All that’s left is for them to be bound up, and then they’re done! I’m still not exactly sure when I’ll get some books, but it won’t be long now. I’ll keep you posted!

Bonus Image:
Since I was taking photos anyway, I snapped a shot of the first panel from Tonoharu: Part Three (!) which I just started drawing this week.

It never ends, folks. (*sob*)

The previous Tonoharu: Part Two artwork previews were organized by theme: City, Party, Festival, and “Action”.

I’ve pretty much run out of artwork that fits into neat little categories, especially since I only want to show artwork that is spoiler-free (at least until after the book is published). So the artwork in this entry are just random panels that I like.

I’ll do one more “odds and ends” artwork preview in a few weeks, shortly before the book comes out. Not long now, folks!

Tonoharu: Part Two will be coming out this November. For more information, visit:
