5. whatkaty: Feeling happy happy happy because my physical copy of ‘Before. After. & In Between’ has finally arrived! This anthology features 12 different artists work all with the theme of the end of the world that was predicted to happen in December of last year. The book is split into three sections with stories from the three stages of the end of the world. Before, After and In Between. I supported this on Kickstarter and and I am just in love with the design of the book. The free postcards I got with characters from all the different stories together and beauts. And the stories just have so much bloody heart in them I think I’m gonna have to read them over again just to grasp everything’s full meaning. This isn’t the first project I’ve supported on Kickstarter but it’s the first Comic book thing. And I already have my eye on another Comic Anthology that I would love to see get made and have a copy of :D I also dyed my hair a different colour today. Very very dark. Which was stupid because summer is practically here. Perhaps I should have gone blonde?

  8. Thanks to all who stopped by our table at the MoCCA Arts Festival this weekend! We — Vera Greentea, Justin Rivers & Courtney Zell, Ray Sumser, Aaron Diaz, and myself, Jamie Tanner — had a great time talking Comics & Kickstarter — can’t wait to see all the projects from awesome cartoonists who said they wanted to launch one.

  11. Kickstarter Pull List:

    Greetings, friends! This is Jamie, your Comics Project Specialist, bringing you a brief look at Comics & Comics-related Projects currently funding. Back ‘em now, so they may someday manifest themselves on a spinner rack near you…

    BINGO BABY: Super-cool collaborative comics project from graduates of the Center for Cartoon Studies, edited by Jason Lutes (author of Jar of Fools & Berlin, two favorites of mine).

    THE ELWELL ENIGMA: The great Rick Geary brings you another fascinating historical murder comic, this time self-published.

    DRACULA: SON OF THE DRAGON: Mark Sable and Salgood Sam tell the tale of how Vlad the Impaler became Dracula. Looks gorgeous!

    MINI-COMICS INCLUDED: Little comics based on toy lines that never existed? And the toys, too? Yes, please!

  13. Kickstarter Pull List:

    Greetings, friends! This is Jamie, your Comics Project Specialist, bringing you a brief look at Comics & Comics-related Projects currently funding. Back ‘em now, so they may someday manifest themselves on a spinner rack near you…

    First, a few nifty projects:

    PAPA: Vera Greentea brings us a lovely-looking Father’s Day comic book collection of dark fantasy stories.

    PENULTIMATE QUEST: The first volume of Lars Brown’s fantasy epic featuring a never-ending dungeon. The quest begins!

    DON GIOVANNI: Syndicated cartoonist Nate Fakes tries his hand at a graphic novel. Opera in a trailer park? Sure!

    Next, some big projects ending soon:

    GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS: Ryan Browne follows up Blast Furnace with this crazy-looking book featuring “extramarital affairs, bank robing owls, big gross swollen heads, ghost cow heads, olde tyme boxers, tigers eating cheeseburgers in the Crab Nebula, buffalo judges and tons of aggressive swearing”. Intrigued? You’re not alone!

    SYMBIOSIS: An ambitious Creative Commons art book of sci-fi world building. Not comics, exactly, but I look forward to seeing comics (and more) set in this world someday. Fascinating stuff.

    Lastly, the legends:

    Two all-time great comics artists currently have Kickstarter projects worth a look-see. P. CRAIG RUSSELL teaches you, and STEVE (THE DUDE) RUDE sketches. Look on and drool…
