For those of you keeping track at home, this means that every pledge level that includes the Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Edition of the book now gets the following upgrades for free with their pledge:
A free Kickstarter Exclusive Bookplate illustrated by Colm Griffin and Shawn Daley
The bookplate is signed by co-writer Dirk Manning and book artist Colm Griffin!
We're now moving towards Stretch Goals #4 and then #5, which unlock the signatures by book artist Shawn Daley and then Arn Anderson himself -- for free with your KS Exclusive HC pledge! How cool is that?!?
My friends, again, THANK YOU for your support of this campaign! All the sharing your doing on social media is bringing more and more eyes to this book, and that leads to more preorders and more free upgrades for everyone!
Please keep sharing the link www.ArnComic.com with people who will be interested in this book! Remember, the more people who preorder the book here on Kickstarter, the more free upgrades everyone gets!
Yes... it's really that simple! Thanks again, everyone! We all appreciate you very much!

The first of signature has been unlocked!
Hey all!
I'm thrilled to announce that the SECOND Stretch Goal on this campaign has been unlocked! This means that every pledge level that comes with a Kickstarter Exclusive HC will now also include, for free:
A Kickstarter Exclusive Book Plate illustrated by Colm Griffin and Shawn Daley
Every bookplate will be signed by ARN ANDERSON: MY LIFE AS THE ENFORCER co-writer Dirk Manning (Hey... that's me!)
Here's a peek at what Stretch Goals come next, too:
Unlocking all four signatures -- including Arn Anderson himself -- will make this book plate extra special because it will make this the more "global" Stretch Goal I've ever offered on a campaign with signatures from creators in THREE different countries!
The best way to unlock all these signatures is to continue to share the campaign, so please continue to share the link, and/or this graphic as well:
Thanks again, everyone! If we don't speak beforehand, to those of you celebrating Thanksgiving this Thursday, I hope it's wonderful for you!

The KS Exclusive Bookplate is unlocked! Let's start unlocking the signatures!
Hello friends!
Thanks to you combined and continued support, the first free Stretch Goal upgrade to your order has been unlocked!
The bookplate will be a Kickstarter Exclusive piece of art that will be included with every pledge level that includes the Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover of ARN ANDERSON: MY LIFE AS THE ENFORCER.
Now that this free art upgrade has been unlocked, we can begin unlocking what we're calling the "Four Horsemen of Comic Book Signatures" with continued pledges and support!
A lot of you have been hoping that you can get your books signed by Arn (at least), and these Stretch Goals will enable that -- and make this a truly global experience, as through the next four Stretch Goals you'll be getting signatures on the bookplate by me (USA), Colm (Ireland), Shawn (Canada) and then we'll circle back around to the USA for Arn again!
I've run numerous Kickstarters over the years, and this is the first time I've been able to offer such a "global" series of free rewards/upgrades, so let's keep sharing news about this book and campaign using the link www.ArnComic.com and let's unlock them all!
Thanks, friends! On behalf of all of us on "Team Arn" with this book -- we appreciate you so much!
Your friend in comics,
Dirk Manning
P.S. -- Those of you who follow me and Arn on social media (I'm on Instagram and Twitter -- are we connected there yet?)... we have an AMAZING video promo dropping tomorrow that I am absolutely blown-away by, and I hope you'll all join us in sharing it. It's a good one!
We're Funded! Let the Stretch Goal Party begin... with free signatures!

WE'RE FUNDED!
Hello everyone!
I've got exciting news! Thanks to all of you and your support and enthusiasm for this book... WE ARE FUNDED!
Now comes my favorite part of any campaign cycle: THE STRETCH GOAL PARTY!
For those of you new to Kickstarter, here's how it works: The more pledges the campaign gets, the more free upgrades that come with every pledge that includes the Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Edition of the book... and we're starting with something many of you have been asking for...
Here's how it works: As we surpass each dollar amount in pledges, we unlock first a Kickstarter Exclusive bookplate... and then more and more signatures on it!
Then, should we unlock all these signatures, we'll open up Round Two Stretch Goals with even more free upgrades!
To help us get there, please keep spreading the world about this campaign by sharing the link www.ArnComic.com with people who may want to get the Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Edition of this book -- and FOUR free signatures in it too!
On behalf of Arn and all of us working with him... THANK YOU, friends! Let's get those four free signatures!
Your friend in comics,
Dirk Manning

I just got done sending a message to Arn...
Hey all!
I just got done sending a message to Arn a few minutes ago congratulating him on the *AMAZING* first day of this campaign... and I then realized that I should also send a quick note to all of YOU, too.
THANK YOU for making the first nine hours of this campaign absolutely amazing! We surpassed $10,000 in pledges in the first four hours alone, and as I type this we're getting closer and closer to the $20,000 mark that will both secure the publication of this book and also start unlocking the free Stretch Goal bonuses and upgrades that will be included for free with every pledge level that includes a Hardcover Edition of the book.
(A few of you have already been asking if you can get the books signed, etc, to which I will only say this: I think you'll be really happy when you see the Stretch Goals we have lined-up for this campaign. Heh.)
That being said, here's a few other quick notes:
As per the request of several of you, yes, you can add a lithograph/shirt/extra book to your pledge level, and I explained how in a FAQ post on the main page. In short, just add the amount of the item to your existing pledge, and you'll then be able to add the item to your pledge when the campaign ends in the BackerKit (which is like a virtual shopping cart). Make sure to add the funds for the extra items now (or before the campaign ends), as several of these items will be Kickstarter Exclusive and not available after we close out the campaign.
If you'd like to share the details about this campaign with friends or in social media groups you're a member of (remember, the more people who pledge, the more we all get in Stretch Goal upgrades), please share the link www.ArnComic.com with them. You can use this graphic, too, if you'd like:
Again, on behalf of our whole team and our publisher Source Point Press -- THANK YOU for your support, everyone!
Keep spreading the word about the campaign, because the more people who pledge, the more we will ALL get as we start unlocking Stretch Goals!
