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

image* the Portland comics show The Projects has a kickstarter going here. That's a pretty significant price tag for a first-time show without a history to go on -- not significant in that it's expensive for what such a show requires, I honestly have no idea, it just seems it's more difficult for first-time projects to raise more than $5K. I wish them luck, though. I'm interested to see how that one goes.

* Jesse Fuchs is selling a super-lovely Ivan Brunetti one-pager to raise money for rent. You need to give yourself this present.

* here's a Kickstarter tied into a radio program that has Jim Ottaviani and Natalie Nourigat involved.

* these two alt-comics looking suckers seem well on their way to funding; no boot-selling required.

* not comics: here's a film project from veteran comics illustrator Val Mayerik.

* there's been no formal call to do so, or even an organized informal call, but if you enjoyed the new Batman movie a nice thing to do would be to send the Hero Initiative a small donation in the name of Creators Rights Patient Zero Bill Finger. It's nice to send money like that whether you see a movie or not, really.

* finally, the Hero Initiative posted an update on the condition of injured comics writer and editor Roger Slifer.
