This is going to be a short one today. Short by my standards.
As promised, I wanted to give you, my dear sweet newsletter person, early access and heads up about cool stuff. So here ya go-
ALL THE ORIGINAL PAGES FROM WHAT’S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE? #1 GO ON SALE AT MIDNIGHT EST TONIGHT!
If you are something of a high roller or just a mid level roller who always wanted to own some original art from the man, the myth, the grumpy legend, Mr. Tyler Boss, now is your chance. Just a heads up a lot of the key pages for his issue of DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH sold very fast so this is a “set your alarm” type thing. Click here to visit Modern Mythology’s site and get some nice conversation pieces for your wall.
Is that it? Hell no.
WE HAVE A WEBSTORE!
It’s going to go live on our FurthestPlace.com tomorrow when the book officially launches, but in the meantime I wanted to make sure you had a chance to shop first. That is your reward for having to wade through all these emails about dairy. So click here to get shopping.
Before you click the above link I’d just like to say, I always, always, always prefer that you get my books at your local comic shop. Don’t know where one is? Click here and you can find one easily. Don’t live near one? There are a ton of great shops offering up mailorder. If you can’t find one, email me and I can give you some recommendations. With all that said, judging by the sheer volume of people who still ask to buy direct from me, we made this little shop as a last resort.
Also, as an aside, huge thanks to Nicole from the great Third Eye Comics and James Tynion IV from the great Tiny Onion for holding my hand and walking me through this stuff. James was explaining how to sort shipping stuff to me just now from a bar in London while he is on vacation. What a treat of a human he is.
OKAY, BUT WHAT IS IN THE STORE?
-We have some copies of most of the covers for WHAT’S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE?, including a few of the very rare ones. You can grab them signed or unsigned.
-We have some copies of other stuff Tyler and I made, including 4 KIDS WALK INTO A BANK, DEAD DOG’S BITE, and WE CAN NEVER GO HOME. Those are all signed. I didn’t sign DEAD DOG’S BITE because I didn’t work on it, but I still think you should buy it.
-We have 2 exclusive variant covers. I guess maybe the idea was to sell these at conventions at one point, but we aren’t going to any. So now we have ‘em and this is the only place you can get ‘em.
-We have a shirt we think is really funny. We’ll have more shirts later probably, but you should get the funny one now.
Foil cover. Limited to 100 copies.
So you can’t tell from this, but this is a shiny foil cover. The dream of the 90’s is alive!
Connecting Cover. Limited to 500 copies.
This one is a funny idea we had that is only getting funnier to me. It’s part of a series of connecting covers. I bet you can guess what the issue #2 cover is. And yes, it’s just the word “THE” which is maybe the dumbest and best thing I’ve ever done. Anyway, I guess we’ve committed to making all of these now, so I hope you think they are as funny as Tyler and I do.
Lastly, a couple notes about this little webstore of ours.
Be patient. I built it myself and I’m a true moron, so things might be a little wonky at first.
Calculating shipping is a nightmare. Basically the only way we could figure it out without a degree in postmaster studies was to sort of round things. What does this mean for you? If you buy 1 thing you might end up paying an extra buck or two in shipping. If you buy a bunch of things I may end up losing a few bucks on shipping. Individually that is all annoying, but try to look at it karmically.
Some of this stuff is pretty limited. I put quantity limits on the super rare items in the notes, but there is no way to enforce them other than me just cancelling your order if you order too many copies. So please follow instructions.
The shop only has a few things right now. We’ll be adding more soon and fixing all the bugs. I’ll have updates here so you don’t have to keep checking back though. If there is something specific you want in there, let me know and I’ll do my best to get it up there.
That’s it for me. If you plan on picking up our book this week from your local comic shop, from comixology, or from us, thank you so much.
Sincerely.

Hey man just wanted to say I love your work and thought WTFPFH #1 was fantastic. Even my dad loved it, and it’s the first comic he’s bought sense I was born 19 years ago. I’m pretty sure the worlds on fire right now, so thanks for making dope comics and for making it easier to talk to my dad!
Hey Matthew, would it be possible to ship stuff from your website to Netherlands? I tried filling in my address but it can't calculate shipping rates.
