Wordburglar will be performing live in Halifax at STILLWELL BREWING 3670 Kempt Rd in Halifax Nova Scotia for the DCAF KICK-OFF Party as part of the Dartmouth Comics Arts Festival!

Doors open at 8pm ALL AGES PWYC!

Hey all, Burgie here! Hope your summer is off to an amazing start. I’m pleased to announce that Wordburglar Rhymes With Comics #1 is finally available on Bandcamp in all formats including digital, vinyl, CD and the first ever Wordburglar cassette tape!!

What is it? I worked with 15 amazing comic book creators to turn 15 of my songs into comics so you can rhyme along to every page as you listen to the songs. It’s a 100 page, full colour, oversized lyrical graphic novel that can be enjoyed on it’s own or with the accompanying soundtrack.

The cover is by Marvel Comics legend Steve McNiven (Civil War, Old Man Logan, Amazing Spider-Man) and yes, the cassette tape features original art on both sides by the original Wordburglar illustrator and mega-talented pal Dave Howlett! Other artists featured in the book include: MIKE HOLMES (Wings Of Fire, Adventure Time, My Own World), JASON LOO (PiItiful Human Lizard), BRENDA HICKEY (My Little Pony, Turnip King, Butterfly House), TROY LITTLE (Rick & Morty VS Dungeons & Dragons) KALMAN  ANDRASOFSZKY (X-23) and so many more!

Check it out here: propsdept.bandcamp.com/album/wordburglar-rhymes-with-comics-1-100-page-lyrical-comic-book-pdf-official-soundtrack-to-rhyme-along

The digital version comes with a 100-page PDF and 18 songs. The physical versions (Vinyl, CD, Cassette) all come with a free 1980 FORCE Poster (hinting at things to come!) and we also have T-shirts available.

We’ve also done a massive restock on Bandcamp for many sold out items including more vinyl, comics and CDs.

Thank you to everyone who supported our massive Kickstarter campaign to create WORDBURGLAR RHYMES WITH COMICS #1!

After shattering every stretch goal (and then some!) we are currently working hard to fulfill orders while finalizing the production of all rewards (100-page comics, vinyl, cassette tapes, CDs, tote bags, t-shirts, new music and all the other specialized rewards!). We are currently accepting late pledges on the Kickstarter but will be closing that option soon.

Once all Kickstarter rewards have been fulfilled we will be making the comics, vinyl, CDs & cassettes available in The Wordburglar Bandcamp Store so please keep an eye on things over there (and keep checking back here!) to stay posted on all the upcoming new 2026 Wordburglar goodness including new albums, comics and a really fun top secret project that has been in the works for years…

Thanks for all your support!
