Comics By Request: People, Projects In Need Of Funding

imageBy Tom Spurgeon

* we are in the last hours of a Hunt Emerson kickstarter. It would be nice if that one got over, if Emerson is one of the all time under-appreciated cartoonists. That's the bookstore cover to the left, not the kickstarter cover.

* 8th Hour Press would like you to consder this Thomax Green fundraiser. They were nice enough to write in. Others that caught my eye this week were this already-successful translation project, Steve Hamaker's PLOX, a book about Jane Bowles and the latest Steve Ditko work. I missed this Jamie Tanner book entirely.

* I don't know that Melissa Mendes is in the same situation as the moment she posted this plea -- she may better off, or worse off -- but I can't imagine any young cartoonist being less than grateful for customers. Her originals are really nice-looking, too.

* again, much the same: I don't know that Zack Soto is feeling any real financial distress, but I imagine extra work is always helpful.

* the writer Rob Clough's summer fundraiser is still ongoing.

* finally, the writer James Hudnall could still use some help. He's recently been diagnosed with an infection of the bone that will mean more of his leg removed. I hope if you're inclined at all to help someone in that situation you'll send a few dollars to James.
