Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* never heard of this basic set-up before: a non-Kickstarter mini-fundraiser to facilitate people that either didn't get on board with the last one for whatever reason or couldn't use the pay mechanism that Kickstarter provided. This is for the most recent P. Craig Russell project.

* I noticed that Lambiek is still running its donation ad to pop up on top of Comiclopedia entries, like this new one for Simon Hanselmann. That is a foundational web site run by a foundational comics shop, so I hope they'll receive as much money as they need.

* there are two gofundme campaigns we've been monitoring: this one to benefit Seth Kushner; this one designed to revive the company SLG. I hope that you'll give each one consideration, but maybe right now the Kushner -- that seems at a crucial halfway point and it seems to me that its goals are more achievable.

* we discussed Drew Weing and his Patreon campaign in a stand-alone post last week; this is a reminder. Ditto this Jim Rugg auction.

* not comics: here's a giveaway driving towards a fundraiser regarding some sort of legal effort regarding a social justice effort. I have no time to look into it to vet the thing to know if it's anything with which I'd agree at all, but a reader requested it be covered so here it is.

* here's one that's comics-related that was suggested to me on Twitter: SM Vidaurri soliciting patreon support to continue The World Of Iron. Here's another: Rum Row, by Andrew Maxwell and a team of highly-talented specialists.

* Mike Dawson can't make it to SPX, but he'd still like to sell you some books.

* finally, this is becoming a a common complaint. I think there's a chance that continued, systemic abuse will change that culture a bit.
