Comics By Request—People, Projects In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* Nix Comics is doing a fundraiser for this comic about the struggles of small retailers. Nix is the Columbus, Ohio outfit that's taking a severe locals-first strategy and only occasionally working outside of their regional area. So if you're in that region, I hope you'll pay close attention to what they're doing.

* I'm posting this about five days before it rolls out, so I bet this Andy Ristaino project is over the top, but either way you should check it out if you haven't yet.

* this high-profile Watson and Holmes crowd-funder is winding down over the next few hours.

* here are two non-publishing projects: a Hulk statue for a public library, which I just find sort of odd; a person raising money to be sent to a comics convention, which you used to see a lot more of.

* the writer-about-manga (and other comics) Deb Aoki likes this project, and that's good enough for me.

* here's a crowd-funder recommended by a CR reader, an effort that apparently caused someone to put up a fake crow-funder with the same imagery. Drama!

* finally, I didn't realize that DC was raising money for its charitable efforts through one of the crowd-funding sites. I'm not sure that means anything, but there it is.
