Woot!
Interesting that Len Peralta also drew Trace’s “Silly Rhymes for Belligerent Children.” One artist, two Crows.
I wish him luck with this endeavour. This Kickstarter thing must be useful, I keep seeing it everyrwhere on the Internet.
Looks great Bill! Good luck!
Wish him luck as well. Has he tried contacting one of the smaller, established comics publishers like maybe Image or Dark Horse to see if they could publish it? I’m not really sure if self-publishing is such a good investment. Or perhaps he could talk with Trace Bealeau (sp? I’m sorry), who I believe did his own comic awhile back. He’d probably know more about this stuff than I do.
Are Image and Dark Horse considered “small” publishers? I always thought they were in the big leagues.
Len Peralta is very talented, I enjoyed his work on Silly Rhymes. But how much do we have to donate to get some of Bill’s signed artwork? I’d love to have that cat drawing.
@Neptune Man Image and Dark Horse normally trade places for the third and fourth largest comic book publisher, but they get 4-6% of the total market, vs Marvel and DC each getting 30-40%. So even though they’re established, they’re comparatively small.
@Flying Saucers over Oz: Several people doing Image books have used Kickstarter to raise funds, since payment from Image books is all on the back end, and if they book doesn’t turn a profit you’ve worked for months to earn nothing. Kickstarter ensures the creative team can get some income before that.
im going to take this opportunity to announce my own kickstarter with the goal of 2000 $ or more so i can pledge to Bill’s kickstarter. I’m going to get this comic made, go to dragon con and they will buy me A VERY NICE LUNCH.
Am I missing something with this Image/Dark Horse talk? I got the understanding from the Kickstarter info it’s going to be an online only comic (except for printing some “reward” copies). So that makes a publisher unnessecary.
The Kickstarter page mentions it being an “ACTUAL comic book” (caps are Bill’s, not mine) and that the fundraising will go to cover “publishing, rewards, and postage for said rewards.”
Major> I guess I missed that part. A paper book is good.
Either way I made a $300 pledge. I can’t wait to appear in one of the crowd scenes.
well looks like bill made his goal, the comic is gonna happen! sweet!
