We spoke too soon as two people pulled their pledges. But we are now still only £115 away from hitting that second stretch goal of £2250…
If we hit this, everyone who pledges at £20 and above will get a digital exclusive Kent Menace behind the scenes pdf featuring script and art from Message In A Bottle and the prose tales from the print special as well
Liam Sharp, who is featured in the mag, had this to say on getting an early copy of the magazine:
“Joel –
You humble me beyond words. The Tripwire anniversary issue is lavish and wonderful, and your inclusion and appreciation of my efforts across the board are both profoundly affecting and hugely appreciated. Moments like this make the slog feel valid and my preposterous dreams feel worth while.
Thank you mate! You’re awesome. LOVED the gallery too! Astonishing company!
Very best always and take care!
Liam”

Tripwire has always been about celebrating the art of comics, film and TV and the creators and production wizards who continue to make it the vibrant and exciting place it is.
Tripwire has always been a middlebrow publication, offering the kind of accessible interviews, features and reviews with quality journalism from the best in the field.
The Tripwire winter special is packed full of the sort of quality content people have come to expect:

Also the return of the Stripwire section including a new Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders strip by Tripwire editor-in-chief Joel Meadows and artist Andy Bennett, the strip which Jimmy Palmiotti said about it: “Joel Meadows is the right guy with the perfect voice to continue the adventures of the world’s greatest sleuth, Sherlock Holmes,”, a Fred The Clown one pager by Roger Langridge and the return of Kent Menace by Scott Braden, Jeff Dillon and John Charles.

It will also offer limited edition Tripwire cover pastiche posters featuring reinterpretations of classic comic covers like New Teen Titans#1, Hulk Annual#1 and many more.
Tripwire continues to be read and appreciated by the movers and shakers in the comics industry: “Tripwire is always well researched and enthusiastic, by people who truly care about the importance of story. It’s analytical without losing heart.” – JH Williams III, Promethea, Echolands.
“Tripwire covers such a wide variety of topics in the world of news, entertainment and the arts, and covers them so well, that it’s pretty much become my go-to source for what’s going on in media. I know if Tripwire is covering a subject, it’s not only interesting, fun and informative, it’s also legit.”- Blll Sienkiewicz, illustrator
”Tripwire has been for nearly three decades the touchstone of comic book culture in the U.K and one of the leading periodicals dedicated to this narrative art form. Incisive, smart and always relevant.” – Guillermo del Toro (Oscar winning director, The Shape Of Water)
“In an industry and a world full of uncertainty, the constants that Tripwire offers in all its forms — great reporting, interesting information captivatingly presented, beautiful graphic design — are always a welcome thing. Joel Meadows and his team never fail to remind me why I love comics as much as I do, and why I feel the same about Tripwire, too.” – Chris Ryall, formerly of IDW
