Comics By Request—People, Projects In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* David Lasky made his airfare goal for the Eisner Awards by selling art... if you wanted to buy some more stuff and make sure that guy eats while he's down there, go here. David Lasky is a nice man.

* I'm typing this in five hours short of one full week ahead of this post rolling out, so I have to imagine this Galaxion crowd-funder has hit its goal.

* it's not totally typical for conventions to crowdfund, but there have been a few. Here's one. Those tend to have high monetary goals and lots of people participating, which sort of makes sense.

* documentaries related to comics are a little more common, although not very.

* I was reminded in roundabout fashion of this very nice impulse from Jon Morris to donate to the Hero Initiative charity while spending money on these superhero movies. I can't even tell you who's getting what for individual characters and who isn't, let alone if this is fair, but staring at the comics industry for twenty years has taught me that a lot of creators seem to end up on the wrong side of history when it comes receiving a lot of money and being satisfied with their reward. Giving to a creator-focused charity like HI is one way to help some of those creators.

* Ryan Claytor is working towards meeting a stretch goal on an already successful crowd-funder.

* finally, the Stonewall Riots seems a fine subject for a comic book.
