Comics By Request—People, Projects In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* this is another edition of the column that runs on Mondays; I had a few more of these to post where I didn't want to wait a week.

* that nice man and indy comics veteran Batton Lash has launched a second crowd-funder, this time in support of a 112-page book of work that was previously featured on-line at SupernaturalLaw.com. This seems a natural place for someone like Lash to land, allowing him access to his scattered by fervent fan base in a way that's much more efficient than leaving that in the invisible hands of the direct-market mechanism. Here's the link to Werewolves Of New York, which Lash writes in his PR is the longest story he's ever done. He has many cute incentives, tied into his overall theme. I think he'd get there without this site's help, but I enjoy Lash and wanted to pass this along.

* Clifford Meth, who does an enormous amount of work on behalf of older comics-makers that find themselves either in trouble or in need of a specific form of advocacy, has a crowd-funder up for a book that features conversations with many of those creators and others besides.

* I'll pull one from yesterday's run of requests: David Lasky is trying to raise money via original art and publication sales so that he can attend the Eisner Awards in support of his nominated Carter Family book. There is no better guy in comics than that David Lasky guy. Also, he hasn't aged in 20 years, so I'm hoping that by posting this he'll pass on eating a part of my soul.

* finally, someone is translating Schuiten and Peeters. Or wants to. Always worth a check-out when that work is mentioned.
