Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* Greg Theakston would like to raise $30,000 to turn a 1980s interview with Jack Kirby into a professional-looking thing to watch.

image* it looks like Dan Vado is moving on a bit from his GoFundMe campaign, which netted $13K or an asked-for $85K and has moved onto a Patreon campaign he hopes will be more effective. He'll still accept donations at the GoFundMe, of course, it just isn't the main focus of his crowd-funding efforts.

* Shaenon Garrity's latest Skin Horse crowd-funder is headed into its final week. Those always do well.

* here's one of the two dozen or so crowdfunding projects for which I get PR. That's always a weird thing to me, getting PR before a project is even financed, but I supposed I shouldn't have a problem wrapping my mind around that being a part of things now.

* I'm always interested in conventions and festivals that use crowd funding as a tool: here's one for a one-day show in Campbell, California.

* always a big fan of comics-related crafts.

* finally, the writer James Hudnall -- whose goal was met last Friday -- provides an update on his situation. We wish him all the best in a dark circumstance.
