Glenn Fabry’s art for the upcoming The77 Annual offered for sale

We’ve previously plugged the crowdfunder for the The77 Annual – the independent SF and adventure comic’s first such venture, emulating the classic hardback book releases of old.

Now, the team behind The77 are selling three pages of Glenn Fabry artwork from the Annual, created for the story “House Wins by Paul Neal and Glenn, all priced at £295 per page. Email The77comic@gmail.com for further details.

The first ever The77 Annual is currently seeking backing now on Kickstarter, and just like the British independent comic anthology, comes crammed with strips from a great mix of new and legendary talent, including Glenn Fabry, Steve Pugh and Lew Stringer.

Shouty! by Lew Stringer (bottom left), Penny Pentagram by David Thomas & Jonny Roydon, (right) Benksy by Ben Conan Cullis & Neil Sims

With an ambitious target that aims to cover both an agreed creator page rates and production costs, The77 Annual will feature 144 pages of brand new strips and much, much more.

On offer are not one, but two editions: a hardback edition, with a Mark Montague cover, a “thank-you” to loyal and steadfast Kickstarter backers, which will not be reprinted or sold in highstreet retail outlets; and a softback edition, with a cover by Ade Hughes, the Illustrator of The77 strip “V” and co-conspirator on Pat Mills’ SpaceWarp.

Expect everything from space opera and mythology, to action and comedy or monsters and robots in the planned 144-page Hardback Annual, exclusively available in the Kickstarter, created by hot new talent and legendary creators.
