Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

image* Drew Ford has inaugurated a crowd-funder for his publishing company's forthcoming western, featuring Joe R. Lansdale and the great Sam Glanzman. I didn't know this was the kind of thing Entertainment Weekly covered, but it makes sense, I guess.

* I thought this was classy: Jamie S. Rich wrote this site personally to ask that some attention be driven to the continuation of the show that he did that he can no longer do as an employee of one of our leading entertainment juggernauts. I wasn't that familiar with the show other than that Rich was involved, but we can always use good ones and if you were a fan you might check out their post-Rich plans.

* this is where I'm always reminded that Gil Roth has a Patreon going. Roth was the featured media guest of the first Cartoon Crossroads Columbus -- a show of which I'm a part -- and I enjoy the 1/3 of his shows that are comics-oriented. I enjoy them all, actually, that Clive James one is aces.

* the two crowd-funders I haven't run mention of yet that jumped out at me on a cursory search are the latest from Pow Pow Press and a new one by Tyler Page.

* Kelly Tindall has a crowd-funder going for The Adventurers. There's a devoted web site for the project here.

* finally, there are a number of higher profile crowd-funders that have met their goals you can still get on: the latest Erika Moen (and friends) collection, a book by Abby Howard and the second collection of Rocket Robinson.
