Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* Virginia Paine at Sparkplug Books is holding a crowd-funding campaign for their Fall books. This includes the last issue of Reich, a project I'd love to see come to an honorable conclusion. I hope you'll consider it.

* the four crowd-funding campaigns in which we've had a continuing interest, or at least a focused interest this month: the campaign for photographer and comics-maker Seth Kushner during his illness, Dan Vado's campaign to restore his SLG, Drew Weing's Patreon campaign and SM Vidaurri's version of same. There are hundreds out there like this, compelling and worthy, but these are the ones to which we've paid a little extra attention.

* you can help the artist Lisa Jonte get back into a life of making through a donation at a modestly-leveled campaign here.

* a couple of you wrote me after finding interesting this interview with the writer Jimmy Palmiotti about his ongoing series of fundraising campaigns. What struck both CR readers (roughly) were how successful they were compared to some more modest ones and how they were being employed in the course of a career that's succesful in more traditional ways, which isn't always how people look at those kinds of mechanisms.

* finally, Dave Proch is looking for $1000 to do two issues of a comic book. That visual looks nice.
