“Blop and The Pigeon Pandemic” Now on Kickstarter

Following on from 2019’s Blop: Martian Exporer, Alex Hahn is currently funding a sequel that furthers the adventures (and mishaps) of Martian scout Blop. See press release below:

Introducing Blop and the Pigeon Pandemic! The brand new graphic novel from World Illustration Awards’ shortlisted creator Alex Hahn.

Originating as a daily comic project in the depths of the covid lockdowns, Alex has since compiled, coloured and re-lettered every strip into an 88-page book, telling one complete story. This is the second book in the Blop series, following 2019’s Blop: Martian Explorer – which was a collection of stories to introduce Blop as a character.

Blop is a Martian scout who is always finding himself in sticky situations, often his own making. This story sees Blop blamed for bringing a devastating virus to Mars that causes his fellow Martians to mutate into vicious bird-like creatures. Just how responsible Blop is – and if the Martians are able to conquer this new foe – are questions only the book will answer!

Blop and the Pigeon Pandemic is currently funding on Kickstarter until 12th October 2023.

Backers can choose from several reward tiers – many with a focus on original art and drawings – and can customise their pledges with add-ons. These optional extras include previous Blop stories and merchandise as well as a limited, timed-edition print that is only available to backers with the final edition no. being the number of prints chosen. All rewards will arrive before Christmas.

Blop’s stories are for an all-ages audience who enjoy sci-fi and humour.
