A paperback collected edition of our 2009 miniseries The Trial of Sherlock Holmes drawn by Aaron Campbell, coloured by Tony Avina, lettered by Simon Bowland and with covers by John Cassaday is out now.
Just like the hardcover, the book is crammed with extras including an afterword by world renowned Holmes and Dracula scholar Leslie S. Klinger,… Read the rest
At the end of May I posted about that most estimable publication The Chap Magazine being in a spot of financial bother (happens to the best of us old man, nothing to be ashamed of). They were appealing for donations so that they could afford the cost of going to print with their latest issue. I am very happy to report that, thanks to the deep digging of so many fine upstanding chaps and chapessess, the campaign to save The Chap has proves successful!
This from thechap.net
Ten days ago, The Chap launched an appeal to save this gentlemen’s journal from going under, and the response was overwhelming. Donations flooded in from all over the civilised world and countless rousing messages of support were posted. We were genuinely humbled by this, and had no idea how much desire there was to keep the Chap afloat.
Within a short time, enough funds were raised to proceed with publication of the June issue. We will get it on the shelves and doormats by 1st July, so it will arrive less than a month later than planned.
It makes me damned proud to be (a) chap!
That fine upstanding, pipe smoking, tweed jacketed, proper cup of tea drinking, cravat wearing, gin sipping periodical The Chap is in trouble. This from www.thechap.net:
Like many venerable institutions, The Chap has run into financial difficulties, due principally to a disastrous result in the 2.30 at Wincanton. But also the spiralling costs of paper stock, printing ink and distribution services, and of course the increase in tax on tobacco products.
The harsh reality of the current situation is that if the June issue doesn’t go to press, The Chap will cease publication for ever.
So, what can we do to help? Well, we can jolly well dig deep into our pockets!
A donation from any of our readers who feel moved to offer a small gesture of support. One pound from every reader would allow us to print the June issue. Larger contributions would of course also be welcome and would speed up the process towards getting this issue published sooner rather than later, leading to subsequent issues arriving on time and the entirety of our mission continuing apace.
Don’t delay, donate today!
Head over to http://www.thechap.net/content/section_contact/save-the-chap.html and send whatever you can spare.
We simply cannot stand idly by and let this great British institution die.
