In Gun Nose Presents, an undercover agent living a secretive life in suburbia who wishes to get his life back gets much more than he bargained for.
Who? GUN NOSE PRESENTS
What? A comic book of rare wit, challenging concepts, and excellent art.
When? Published in time for the 2010 San Diego Comic Con
Where? Escondido, CA is Gun Nose Central (please don't tell the City Council), but the project itself is worldwide.
Why? Because I've wanted to make this comic for a number of years.
How? Donate to this project so that everyone can finish what they're doing.
Hello! I want to raise enough money to finish the first issue of Gun Nose Presents, a collectible, limited-print comic book being worked on by a group of talented pros and newcomers to the field of comics.
Gun Nose Presents is a single 22-page comic book that I created hoping to achieve what I think a comic book should be: a collection of stories that are full of fun and full of character. These two very simple values allow for pieces that are well written, well drawn and inked, and... well... complete. The content doesn't aim to be timeless, but aspires to be fun to read again and again, and to become a valued part of your comic collection because it doesn't have a bunch of intertwined story arcs, less than memorable guest characters, or other goofy whatnot.
The comic book is divided into seven short stories.
Story 01: Pencils - Johnny B. Gerardy (JBG); Inks - Tony DeZuniga
Story 02: Pencils - Joe Staton; Inks - Joe Rubinstein
Story 03: Pencils & Inks - Ellis Goodson
Story 04: Pencils: ???; Inks - JBG
Story 05: Pencils - Joe Rubinstein; Inks - Joe Rubinstein
Story 06: Pencils - Tom Carroll; Inks - JBG
Story 07: Pencils - Johnny B. Gerardy / Kali Fontecchio (KF); Inks - JBG; Colors - KF
There are also at least two pin-ups, one each so far by Tony DeZuniga and Rick Schmitz.
The final additions to the book are a few pages of advertisements that contain mentions of significant backers of the Gun Nose Presents project. These ad pages will look very much like the black and white ads in Marvel Comics books from the 1970s and 80s.
For this initial issue is written by me, Tom Carroll (the T.C. in Team Coelacanth), and I am honored to announce it will feature work by the following artists: Joe Staton, Joe Rubinstein, Ellis Goodson, Johnny B. Gerardy, Rick Schmitz, and Kali Fontecchio. Inks provided by Johnny B., Tony DeZuniga, Ellis Goodson, and Joe Rubinstein. Colors by Emily Bolles.
While most of the pencils are done for the comic, the inking, coloring, lettering and such will continue as this project is funded. Any excess funding will go toward paying the contributors MORE for their hard work.
I appreciate and thank you for all your support, we think you will really enjoy the comic book!
Now let's get this thing fired up,
Tom "Team Coelacanth" Carroll

(Shipping free of charge to any part of continental USA and Canada). Also have your name, nickname, brand, name of your band, e-mail or whatever you feel like submitting designed into a special comic book style ad for the specialty ad page that will be printed into the comic book, plus your basic information on the “Proudly Sponsored By” part of the comic book! I will also make the backer at this level a custom Post-It Notes flip book showing Gun Nose doing something cool that you, as a backer, get to suggest.

The Colt Model 1911 Pack: Everything else above, plus a white T-shirt featuring the original Gun Nose Presents head shot drawn by Tom Carroll and inked by Johnny B. Gerardy, printed on the shirt in black. The T-shirt is a basic T, short sleeved, buttonless, collarless, and pocketless, with a round neck that is pulled on over the head and covers a person's torso. The T-shirt will be a cotton/polyester mix. See the Update section for a picture of the T-shirt itself with a mock-up of the graphic specified. You choose the size: S, M, L, XL, XXL (graphic same size for all). Two of the three shirts also include a chisel-nosed Sharpie pen so you can draw in the words that Gun Nose is saying. Say the word and I, the shirt screener, will carefully chisel-pen the words in myself.

The .357 Magnum Pack: You get everything already listed, plus you get an original, signed inked pin-up from the actual comic. And you get to choose which pin-up you get from the several that will have been penciled at the time the comic is done. So far we have two versions of Gun Nose penciled by Tony DeZuniga and one version that is a complete colored pin-up done by Rick Schmitz. But there will be more, oh great fan of the glock nosed one. Also, everyone who donates at this level will be able to submit a word of phrase that Gun Nose will have printed in the word balloon on that pin-up page. The actual phrase will be chosen out of a hat. Any phrases with improper language will be discarded. So this level of give-age will be completely worth is as the finished piece will be totally "suitable for framing." ...

The WMD (aka: Wares of Mass Deliciousness) Pack: Ok, our hands are in the air and you've got us squarely in your sights. First of all, we'll send you an amazing, hand-written letter expressing our admiration and saying how amazing you are -- suitable for framing. Next, you're automatically a charter member of the Gun Nose Forever movement and will be on the receiving end of copies of any new Gun Nose projects, whether they be comic book, merchandising, Web, TV, or feature film related (and aren't those last three pretty heady territory?). You'll also get everything we offer mere mortals above and get copies of any future projects that Team Coelacanth (Tom Carrroll) may have in store (which is plenty, lemme tell ya).
