Meanwhile…Cool and Collected

Publishers Soaring Penguin have launched a crowdfunding campaign for a trade paperback collection of the first four issues of Meanwhile…”the best anthology you’ve never heard of”… for an anticipated July 2021 release.

The book will collect all the content from the first four issues of the British anthology in a 220 page, full colour package. This will include the first four episodes of Strangehaven: Destiny, The Bad, Bad Place (by David Hine and Mark Stafford) and 10 Minutes (by Yuko Rabbit) and well as self-contained stories from Krent Able, Jenny Robins, Darryl Cunningham, Chris Geary, Fionnula Doran, Bridget Mayne, Sean Bright, Sally Jane Thompson, Krystian Garstkowiak, Euan Cook, Frances Castle, ILYA & Rainbow Buddy and Thierry Labrosse.

There are several stiffly-priced reward tiers, including a Strangehaven bookplate by yours truly. According to the Down the Tubes website, the collection will feature a new cover by Sally Jane Thompson.

You can find the IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign for the Collected Meanwhile… here. The campaign is live now and runs through to June 5th.

Existing readers will be even happier to hear that Meanwhile… #10, featuring the newest episode of Strangehaven: Destiny will be crowdfunded shortly afterwards with a release slated for August and Meanwhile…#11 is scheduled for November.
