Welcome to the first feature for the month of April! You've come to expect the unexpected, to embrace the randomness and zaniness that transpires on April 1st.

There's no fooling around here: they're all fantastic. Read on to check them out, and let us know your favorite in the comments.

AWA Studios + GlobalComix = Better Together

By ChristopherPartnerships • Mar 1, 2021 0


From the beginning, the goal of GlobalComix has been working to make amazing comics accessible to everyone, no matter where they’re made, what language they’re in, or how they’ve been formatted. As comics fans who have a deep appreciation for the craft, we understand that the business of making comics can sometimes feel like feast or famine and that other times it can feel like shooting in the dark.

That’s one of the many reasons we partner with publishers like AWA Studios. They have a creative business owned and operated by creators. Their goal is to build a network of graphic fiction that cooperates with each other to better service their readership, make a...

Last week, we talked about the reasons you should consider a crowdfunding campaign for your comic. This week, I’d like to explore the elements of a campaign and how you can put your book in a position for a successful Kickstarter.

What Can You Use to Reach Your Crowdfunding Goal?

There are five common components you’ll need to create a compelling campaign.
