Matt Kindt Creates Jack Chick Tract for Mind MGMT Kickstarter

Earlier this month, Matt Kindt launched a Kickstarter campaign for a Mind MGMT comic book and read-along vinyl record with The Adventure Zone's Clint McElroy.

Believed to be the first-ever read-along comic book and vinyl record for adults, Kindt cited wanting to recreate childhood experiences with Planet of the Apes and Pete's Dragon. "Rather than simply having a comic that illustrates the audio, the comic book story will subvert the audio that you're hearing and the images will work completely differently when viewed while listening to the record."

In MIND MGMT, a former secret agent, the mysterious Henry Lyme, has gone rogue and is working to dismantle the organization he once worked for. There's a mysterious airline flight and a secret government agency of super spies. This story spans from the 1920's to the present day—and things get weird.

He has currently raised $42,941 against a $12,000 goal from 798 backers with 14 days to go. And he has just added the following to the Kickstarter deal — including creating a brand-new mini-comic in the style of Jack Chick:

MIND MGMT "NEW RECRUIT" MINI COMIC

$20

20-page MIND MGMT mini-comic. 2-color cover, black and white insides. This is a Kickstarter exclusive. And the debut of another all-new MIND MGMT story that has never been seen before. It is a Jack Chick-style tract format mini-comic with an all-new story featuring the recruitment story of one of MIND MGMT's youngest agents – the Animal Kid. It ties in to the comic book/record but also stands on its own.

RECORD TEST PRESSINGS

The new MIND MGMT comic book is a full color, 24 page comic with a gatefold in the back that will hold the record in place. The MIND MGMT 7" 33 1/3 RPM record will be pressed by United Record Pressing, the company which printed the Beatles' first 7".
