Each issue is originally published in A5 format, averaging about 36 pages, with commissioned cover art but interior stock art. One of the goals of this campaign is to replace the stock art with commissioned art; the other is to fund the printing of an offset, hardcover version of the book.<img src="https://i.kickstarter.com/assets/051/245/500/0c81909d74425436aa6965f13d845f81_original.png?fit=scale-down&origin=ugc&q=100&v=1760440943&width=680&sig=h9WAkWNSwnr9smCLInyMW3jeW7yQEXoz8e4rRrZXQLU%3D" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Spread from PHM 37The fourth year of this zine has covered:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">PHM 37.
