Crime Pays Off On Kickstarter

If you're looking for an essay on how to reach the answer 42, or more profoundly; how I learned to create comics and love the Kickstarter, you're in for a disappointment.

If however you're curious of what happens if you throw an Aussie, a Filipino and a Norwegian; a year of living in Elephant & Castle or near Brockley & Ladywell Cemeteries, soaking up South London like spores through the nostrils, into a rusty sink; adding teeth-clenching memories of Guera & Aaron's Scalped and a dose of Punisher Max and American History X; topping it with the dirty laundry of legacies gone wrong, abrasive generation flux and at last a bloody sprinkle of Nordic Noir; what will then seep through the pipes and empty itself as gooey sludge into the Thames?

Most of the time, a triple homicide where the victims are foreigners and the Metropolitan Police would call in Interpol to help. This time, however, what happened was SPIRAL. A no-hold-hands crime noir comic book in four parts—no gimmicks, no variants, no bullshit—where the first issue is all done and ready to go to print, and you can get it exclusively from Kickstarter before it ends the 24th.

If learning this was a disappointment and you'd rather struggle for 42, I suggest you just click the Kickstarter link to get the hell away from this site. There might be other smug crowdfunding articles on here you do not want to get disappointed by.
