The Get-Well Carlos Project, Part 2

[The Emperor]

Here is the announcement of the release of the public link to the first book (assembled with great secrecy) as well as the start of the second, more public, book for those that missed out:

Secret Squirrel Undefeated: The Get-Well Carlos Project

In July this year we heard the news that he legendary Carlos Ezquerra was suffering from lung cancer, so we thought it'd cheer him up if we sent him a get well card and thought it'd make sense to say it with comics. The comic morphed into a book as everyone got enthusiastic about it and that book now lies in Carlos' hands.

Here are some sample images:

The cover drawn by Kevin Levell:

and a couple of pages (here you can see work from Steve Sampson, Bhuna, Robert Nichols, Dirk van Dom and Ghostpockets):

A public version of this has now been released and can be found at the main download link and a back-up if that doesn't work.

He has sent a couple of messages through Facebook to Mark Howard, the man who made all the magic happen:

Carlos is still recovering from having his lung removed and is currently undergoing the unpleasant grind of chemotherapy, so there is still plenty of opportunity to put a smile on his face. As this was put together in secret and to a tight deadline, there are plenty of people who haven't heard about this or who we never managed to reach in time or who ran out of time, so there has been interest expressed in doing a second volume. We have decided we might as well go for it and whether it is a book or a comic book will depend on what we get in. The cover has already been greenlit and is being worked on while we speak. So we are ready to start filling it with your best wishes – as you'll see from the first volume it is fine to send just text and we'll incorporate it into the book. We also have a longer deadline - 1st January 2011 which should make life easier.

If you would like to contribute to the second volume then you can email us here: [e-mail] - you can either attach it or you can send us a link to Dropbox or a similar service.

Tech specs:

A5 portrait, jpeg or tiff format, 300dpi, CMYK colour. (Try to keep contributions under 3MB, by zipping if necessary.)

We'd like to thank everyone for their fine efforts and look forward to hearing from any of you that want to contribute to the second volume,

The Get-Well Carlos team

Feel free to spread this around.
