Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* the gofundme for the late Geneviéve Elverum became active upon on her passing and remains so; I'm certain the surviving family will put every dime to good use.

* the most recent 2dcloud crowd-funder looks like it will need some effort to push it over the finish line right around San Diego Con weekend. It makes sense -- I don't recall the two previous ones crushing their initial ask, although my memory can be faulty on things like that. The crowd-funder seems pretty straight-up to me, one of the pre-order crowd-funders more than a "support us because we're great" ones, but it seems like one of the toughest things to do is manage a string of offerings until a hardcore fandom develops that will support these things automatically. There are a bunch of intriguing ideas in play. At any rate, those all sound like pretty good publications and 2dcloud has a history of making them at this point.

* here are some of the crowd-funders we've been watching in recent columns and stand-alones: The Nowhere Man Book 1, Dirty Diamonds #7, Linda Medley, Elements: Fire (I've seen multiple capitalizations; sorry if this one's wrong!), Jim Wheelock and Kenny Russell.

* this person wrote in a near the beginning of their crowd-funding campaign and asked for coverage. I missed the e-mail until now, so if you want to check it out be quick about it! Here's another e-mail message link I just discovered, but I think I got to this one on its own in an earlier column. It's done fine, too.

* finally, I was sad to see this one not go through and hope Sam Costello takes another shot at it with a different mechanism or selection of mechanisms.
