Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

image* the cartoonist John Carvajal is drawing himself out of some medical debt. It's that time of the year to start thinking about handcrafted holiday gifts (they can take some time) and helping out an artist in need is always a bonus.

* it's always worth looking at projects that vastly exceed asked-for amounts. Here's another one, with a Darwinian angle.

* this Atomic Robo crowd-funder has done well, although not crazy-well.

* Zainab Akhtar has a small 'zine crowd-funder going for some of her writing about comics.

* not as much movement on this project as one might think given Trina Robbins' involvement.

* cresting 50 percent or so with double-digit day amounts winding down will make the latest Amiculus volume crowd-funder a thrill ride right up to the end.

* looks like Sam Costello will make it this time. Good for Sam!

* finally, I think I featured the first volume in this series. It's hard to tell, sometimes.
