The 'Leidbild Artbook' by Max Myer includes never before seen illustrations, unused artworks and plenty more for fans of Gothic graphic work to enjoy. Metal bands like Devil-M, Unterschicht, Psyclone Nine and Taina are all part of it. There is also an option to get all illustrations and the whole graphic novel in a bounded hardcover in a 8.5 by 8.5 inch size, which also comes with special prints.
Consumers can choose between a cost-effective softcover version, or the hardcover edition, which has a unique satin finish that makes it a great coffee table book to show off at home. Those who support the project on Kickstarter have the opportunity to get their hands on an exclusive poster, as well as up to five additional prints.
