Comics By Request: People, Projects In Need Of Funding
By Tom Spurgeon
* there are two prominent publisher-driven projects asking for funds for completion right now, both of which were featured here before: the
Qu33r anthology edited by Rob Kirby; the
Neil The Horse collection that Hermes Press is doing.
* this person was nice enough to ask me directly
to drive attention to their crowd-funder. Ditto
this person. I'm happy to do that, for the most part -- if I don't, it's usually because I forgot or lost the link.
* JK Parkin
talks to a cartoonist named Andrew MacLean about the second, kickstarted issue of a series he's doing; I was interested in reading in terms of the crowd-funding sought being about a second issue rather than a first; the matter-of-factness of it is worth noting, as is the very specific function that going to crow-funding plays strategically, as is just the fact that the first issue was more traditionally self-published. I think we've reached a point where using these sites is a really natural, recurring option for a lot of cartoonists, for a variety of reasons.
* finally,
this still looks like the best first place to go if you want to help out the writer Steve Niles, whose home was hit by flooding.
