Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

image* Paul Pope and Out Of Step Arts have done a nice-looking print, $5 of which will go to support Hero Initiative. I bet that will be special-looking when in-hand. Pope is a powerful visual talent.

* there is still some work to do on the Odod Books crowd-funder, which could use both individual action and maybe a major white knight or two. I wish I could be one of these latter kinds of people; I think those books look extremely attractive and hope they're published the way Uncivilized wants to see them published.

* all of Seibei's goods are sold with a charitable donation in mind, and I bought the latest three t-shirts with a relationship to the ACLU for a family member.

* I don't know how his Christmas sale went, but I'm fond of Jeremy Eaton and know he lives close to the vest in terms of his art-making so I hope you'll consider him or a worthy artist like him for some holiday-sales attention this month and into the new year.

* others we've tracked recently: Alice W. Castle's personal funding request, legendary Seattle comics shop Zanadu looking for some relief, the great Russ Heath seeking some volunteer help, a pretty healthy-looking Drew Friedman documentary poised to take care of its back half, whatever this Dave Sim effort is trying to do, Frank Quitely's animation effort is looking to add more to its just-reached goal.

* finally, Hans Rickheit wrote in to suggest that the artist Mathew Van Dinter should have his patreon supported.
