Crowdfunding is a group effort, and we're partnering today with Crowdfundr to give a boost to comics with active campaigns! Take a gander at these 3 comics that need your help to come to life:
1. “Stay Weird!” Horror Magazine by Undertow Publications
Campaign link: https://crowdfundr.com/weirdhorror
Description: Weird Horror Magazine - a labor of love.
Weird Horror magazine debuted in 2021 with a single issue. Since then they have produced 2 issues per year, for a total of 9 issues as of autumn 2024. Stories from Weird Horror have been selected for a number of 'Year's Best' anthologies, and favourably reviewed in Locus and other venues. Each year the owner of Undertow Publications Michael Kelly reads about 2,000 submissions from 2 open calls to select about 20 stories for the 2 yearly issues.
2. “The Most Embarrassing Things I've Ever Done” by Ho Che Anderson, published by Black Eye Books
Campaign link: https://crowdfundr.com/hocheanderson
Description:
This 8 x 10", newly expanded to 300 page collection will be printed in full colour, reproducing Ho Che's early works in their original form — white out, cut and paste, margin notes — all the trappings of the creative process intact. Join Ho Che as he takes you through the archives of his youth, warts and all. A fascinating journey through the budding days of this celebrated cartoonist and Canadian Comic Book Hall of Fame inductee.
3. "Xomik Bük: Issue 3 - Massive indie comix anthology!" by Xomik Bük
Campaign link: https://crowdfundr.com/XomikBuk3
Description:
XB3 is the thrice-anointed Book of Xomik by the Cult of Xomik Bük, a collective of artists and cartoonists who have found each other at the rejects table of the cafeteria that is the internet. I battled this group of nerds until I realized that I was in a drunken fugue punching body pillows at a Furry Convention, but the Cult was forgiving, and I found out that they’re pretty cool...but broke.
Sixty-five artists spilled their guts on the page to provide you, dear reader, with pages and pages of art and comics that will sizzle your fingers, cook your eyes and sauté your brain. I shouldn’t write this before lunch.
So a literal dog pile of artists have brought their best to deliver 160+ pages of sad, funny and scary comics to entertain your mind and distract you from the horror of late-stage capitalism. We need your help to bring this brick of fun to print!
If you've supported any of these comics, you're amazing, and we thank you very much! If you would like to look for more awesome comics on Crowdfundr, you can find them here:
