Comics By Request: People, Projects In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* two GoFundMe campaigns this column has followed in 2015 have had updates of note. The recent campaign on behalf of veteran comic book artist Don Perlin slipped past $17K on Christmas morning and has no doubt added to that amount since. Jim Hudnall posted an update on his page on the rehab he's been doing to walk with an artificial foot.

* crowdfunders are ongoing, even in the quiet week between Christmas and New Year's Day. A quick look through Kickstarter yielded a few that jumped out at me a bit: FKT Year One, a selection of bara yaoi titles from Sakira, an already-successful mini-comics anthology project from Chicago and the latest Robin Snyder presentation of Steve Ditko's comics.

* this is also a great week to make a last-minute donation to any number of non-profits working in comics, from The Hero Initiative to the CBLDF to any number of the cons and festivals out there that are set up that way (many are). Comics does the most with the least, it seems, so money given to comics institutions is generally well spent. That said, you should research and feel comfortable with your individual choice every time you're generous this way.

* finally, Sunday Comics looks to have just finished a crowd-funding phase; that's one people I know were watching.
