Comics By Request: People, Projects in Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* my apologies -- I feel like I'm forgetting some major projects this time around. It's not intentional.

* I do remember that Frank Santoro's physical-school project is a couple of days ending having made enough to buy and repair the desired property. I'm sure he'll put anything additional sent his way to interesting use.

image* two made me happy: I'm glad to see that Muscle Temple #1 has reached its initial goal. That looks like a quality line-up.

* I'm glad to hear there are two more Kickstand Cyclery books out there.

* proud of my friend the great cartoonist David Lasky for his continuing efforts on behalf of Seattle Hugo House resource.

* here are some (not all) of the projects were someone involved or someone that's a fan wrote in and asked for coverage of their crowd-funders: 100 Tears: The Comic, Dan LuVisi's Popped Culture, Occult Generation, Misc Anthology, Kuruz Vol. 2 and Blue Win.

* not sure I realized that Brian Pulido was among the name creators that are using crowd-funding as part of their publishing plans. Jason Pearson is another one that's new to me in this world, anyway.

* here's the Dave Sim-related one that initially confused me.

* there are ten days left in this Mark Andrew Smith crowd-funder regarding the new New Brighton property.

* this Zach Weiner SMBC-related campaign is very successful.

* finally, I received several nudges to spotlight the crowd-funder being run by the Samandal collective, who have a compelling story to tell as well as a financial need. To be clear, that's a really good magazine -- one that's been spotlighted here a couple of times -- in a really bad situation, and when I get the time I'll do a separate post.
