Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* Hope Nicholson's latest Kickstarter in a series of successful Kickstarters is about to blow past its initial ask. All of those books have been well-positioned and well-conceived, I think.

* I've been paying attention to Carol Tyler's latest Patreon, as I think that's potentially but certainly not automatically a good sources of some money coming in for an artist like her. I don't think there's a conclusion there yet. Others I've been watching are from Rich Tommaso and Milton Knight, and I hope for an angel on the Jim Wheelock GoFundMe. Sean Kleefeld is another longtime writer about comic that maintains a modest presence that could certainly be supported.

* finally, the Barbara Shermund Burial Fund took an important step moving from its first half to its final third, but there's still some work there, and I hope some attention coming to it with the astounding exhibit being officially opened at the Billy Ireland is enough to shove it over the top.
