Comics’ Giving Heart—People, Projects In Need Of Funding

* the great Steve Rude has taken to crowd-funding for his latest sketchbook project. I like those Steve Rude sketchbooks, and usually buy one when I see them -- I don't really qualify financially to support the project via expensive inducement, but if the book itself is available that way I'm likely to be on board.

* here's a Kickstarter that seems like it might fall under Dan Nadel's description of an eminently commercial project that is going to Kickstarter for some reason other than the fact that it couldn't be done any other way. Not going to pass judgment on such a project here, though. I'll do it in the "Comics' Reluctant Heart" column.

* if you've made it to the cinema to see this new Batman film, you might consider a Hero Initiative donation in the name of the patron saint of neglected comics-makers Bill Finger for the same price as your ticket. You might just consider one anyway. That's not going to change anything as a political act, but it could do a real-world good for someone. Ten people doing that can buy someone insulin for the next few months.

* finally, here's a nice write-up from JK Parkin about the Aurora, Colorado comics shops doing a fundraiser for victim's of that Batman movie-related shooting from several days ago.
