Comics’ Giving Heart—People, Projects In Need Of Funding
* the literary publication Rain Taxi has been reviewing comics for years -- it used to be one of the few such places PR folks had on their press list. Now they're publishing them, as part of a literary journal called Firecracker, but only if it's crowd-funded.
* as far as I know, Jeremy Eaton is still selling his artwork at Comic Art Collective at half-off prices in order to make up some money that he's missing after losing a client. That guy's originals are really good looking, as I recall.
* DC provides financial remuneration to comics creators for many aspects of film projects done from their characters and ideas, but that doesn't mean that the company has a stellar historical legacy when it comes to rewarding everyone. A ticket-price donation to the Hero Initiative in Bill Finger's name after seeing the new Batman flick isn't going to change the world, but it could do some real-world good. You don't even need to go to the movie. I sent off a check yesterday.
* finally, this project looks sort of interesting. I know nothing about it other than that they seem to be very aggressive tweeters.
