It was called Kickstarter I finally had a method to raise money to pay an artist to draw my comic. I started visiting forums dedicated to connecting artist with writers and encouraged discussion on the business and craft of making comic books It was on one of these sites that I discovered Miguel He was displaying[...]

Maybe a Greg Capullo/David Finch clone, with a little influence from Blacksad. Here are some pages from his new comic Dirty Bones that he's pushed for funding from Kickstarter Anthropormorphic with a male-dog, female-cat aesthetic, the dogs in suits, the cats bending over in basques and suspenders, and yes there are tails. At the center of this[...]

So what's going on here? This is what Mark Waid has to say on the Kickstarter page: As I've been saying, it's not "Digital vs Print," it's "Digital AND Print I've had my eye on "Varney" for a while now It's clever, it's really well done, and Thrillbent is happy to promote it Writer Scott Massino and[...]

Now we just needed to create the book…and figure out how we could give it away. When the call for submissions went out, Bleeding Cool was there to help spread the word, and in only a few months we received over 100 story submissions and even more calls from artists wanting to help out.

Distributors often refuse to pick up small-press titles.  Crowd-funding operations like Kickstarter have made it possible for a small business like Sanguine to produce alternative content. When we picked up Matt Howarth to help us produce our last project, the Myriad Song game, he amazed us with all the ideas he had for people, aliens, planets,[...]

Slowly following these characters' overlapping or conflicting choices in a world of harsh survival, The Chieftains makes for a far more satisfying telling of Deborah's against-all-odds origins and journey to heroism. Because this kind of iconoclastic adaptation cannot be funded through the usual route (religious institutions), we hope that you'll help us produce our first issue[...]

Their Kickstarter campaign launched a few days ago.

That is where Kickstarter comes in. For anybody not familiar with Kickstarter, it's a crowd-funding platform to help people get their projects off the ground Once you determine how much you need in order to fund your project (in this case $13,000), you need to either receive complete funding from pledgers, or you don't receive anything[...]

Steven Randall writes for Bleeding Cool: Wait,  another Kickstarter Graphic Novel, with Zombies…..Seen it…Read it…or have you? At first glance, I'll agree, this project is far from original, Zombies, Graphic Novel…Blah, blah,blah Zombies they are everywhere these days.  Books, comics, television, and even movies have Zombies shambling and stumbling around every corner of entertainment, so what makes[...]

Suspend that old man/woman comic-curmudgeonness. Embrace the fun! Embrace Under Where? (Just made you say underwear). Under Where? is currently on Kickstarter right now, and much like I believe in the genuine nature of the heroes of old, I believe that getting a book produced because fans believe in that book is a simple pure form of self-publishing[...]

Kickstarter is a great way for comics that might never see the light of day to get back and published Joshua Starnes has a project like that, it's called Curiosity.

Whether you are going through a publisher or self-publishing, releasing your own short film, designing a new app, doing a Kickstarter or anything else, if you own the property then you own the responsibility for letting people know about it.

We love the direct relationship that is created between project owner (publisher in this case) and backer (aka reader). We love the whole thing, so crowd-funding was the obvious answer. And Silence in the Library has a track record of successful Kickstarter projects. We've worked hard to develop a reputation for putting out great projects and delivering on[...]

Having met in college while studying art, we have continued to push one another to create comics and test the boundaries of the medium. Both of us have been working in the advertising & graphic design field for over 15 years, but have always made time to work on small self-published comics or the occasional work-for-hire piece. Many of Matt's comic[...]
