Double post week, and sorry if this is not allowed so feel free to delete if it is.

I’m participating in the Parkinson's Unity Walk being held by The Michael J. Fox Foundation to raise critical funds for Parkinson’s research. Please consider supporting my efforts. Your support helps speed new Parkinson’s treatments and moves us closer to a cure.

100 percent of the Unity Walk proceeds go directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s high-impact research and policy programs. Thank you!

Ohmygod that COVER. Look at our girl! She's so grown up. I could just cry. I'm so proud of her and I've missed her so much.

(I'm trying to think only good thoughts about the ... dolphin? Is dolphin the right word? Guess I'll find out in July!)

Man, I must have missed last week’s chat or I would have evangelized Chappell Roan, our pop queen ascendant. Saw her live 2 weeks ago and it was MAGICAL. Seeing her again next month. Might as well get in on the ground floor folks, this one’s a superstar.

Love Silver Sprocket, was lucky enough to tour their operation as part of my Comics History class back in film school. They are the real deal.

I’ve been a member since day 1! I got my founders gift a while back, but not since then. Not that I’m in it for the giveaways or nothing.

I’ve been an unpaid member since the beginning I’m pretty sure and an annual paid subscriber for around a year and a half. I haven’t gotten anything (yet).

I've been here since the start! Haven't won anything, but was extremely happy to get a few of my books signed! I'm honestly just happy to be here supporting great creators and seeing incredible new art every week.

Since February 2022 and nope, fuckers.

Though I am a card carrying member of the ANDG -- I assume the Giraffe and the guild must be loosely affiliated, same shop floor.

(and I've been a member for a few months and have won a truly ludicrous and wonderful D. Oswald Heist tote bag, which I charmingly and successfully asked to get signed!)

I’m a founding member of The Tower so I’ve been here since day one and have enjoyed every minute of it. I received my founder’s gift and while I haven’t won any giveaways, having new pages of Specators show up weekly is a pretty epic win. The real bonus though is the fantastic community you and Niko have built here. Like you, I sorta don’t want it to end. Monday afternoons/evenings are going to be a lot less interesting when that day finally comes.

Weeeelllll, I don't know if they were sent out in order but I have Saga #1 script 39/500. Day one baby!

And I know we're all here for the main event, that being Spectators itself of course, but The Tower has been a fantastic boon to me, especially as mine and the world's heath declines. I'm certaintly not the only one, a huge thanks to Brian, Niko and everyone else.

I’ve been a member of the tower since 15 minutes I saw Felix of Felix Comic Art fame post a picture of the art he got from Niko in his founders box. That was the first I heard of Spectatora, and my first time signing up for a substack. I was lucky to get one of the founders packages for myself, and have been very happy with my time spent here. I haven’t received anything else from you guys, but I didn’t send any comics in to be signed, so that’s my own damn fault. On a personal note, learning that Brian and I each own a page of art from the same 8 page Tony Millionaire story fills me with unearned pride, the third sweetest of all the prides.

Hello! If I recall correctly, I joined up after seeing the advert in Saga issue #55, so maybe January or February of 2022. I was fortunate to receive 3 different shipments, one was a signed comic I sent in, and one was a major prize pack that had the big ass Saga book, and a bunch of other stuff signed by BKV, then I got the founders pack, with those amazing things from BKV and Niko. I consider myself a lucky guy in this group. The only one that eluded me was that super rare #1 Saga Variant. In other news, I will be getting a tiny Ghüs tattoo tomorrow and will likely share it on a future post.

I was a day one (unpaid) member, annual member since around August. Haven’t won anything, but my luck is considerably bad, it’s an ongoing joke with my 8 year old, 15 year old, and my wife, so I don’t really expect that to change, I’m just enjoying the group and the content.

I've been around since day 1 and have been lucky enough to take home an amazing page of Niko's art, plus the chance to meet (and greet) the one and only BKV in San Diego a couple comic-cons ago...and don't forget a few pages of Spectators most weeks, too!

I joined pretty soon after it launched, and I was lucky enough to win a copy of Saga Vol 10 TPB a while back! Thanks for everything you do on here!

I've been an unpaid lurker since close to the beginning, and finally subscribed in August 2023. It was my first substack, and more than worth it considering how much it brightens my Mondays. Thank you!!
