Crowdfunded Projects

hocreprint Caroline Dougherty is raising funds to reprint the HAUS OF CARDS, a deck of cards first printed in 2020.

Reward options include digital and physical copies of How to Webcomic and a PDF bundle of Chapter 1-9 of Prichard’s webcomic Castoff. The campaign ends on August 5.
Tab Kimpton is raising funds to publish Nectar: Trans Femme and Non Binary Erotic Comics Anthology. The anthology, themed around “Drink of the Divine,” includes 14 stories with at least one Own Voices creator on each team. Content warnings precede each storyThe stories are a mix of smutty, sweet, and silly, with romantic arcs and sexual situations that touch on different experiences on the trans femme and non binary spectrum (and beyond). Reward options include digital and physical copies of Nectar as well as copies of previous anthology Ambrosia. Backers can also gift a book to a stranger, or receive a discount if you’re on the trans or non-binary spectrum. The campaign concludes on August 7.
Zainab Akhtar is raising funds to produce ShortBox: a box full of fun and fine indie comics. The box collects 5 brand-new, stand-alone comic books that represent a broad spectrum of work in a variety of styles and approaches that explore all that comics can be—fun, serious, experimental, gross, moving, beautiful, informative, scary, and more. It also includes some sweets. The only reward option for this campaign is the ShortBox itself, and while Akhtar will continue to publish comics, this is the last mail-order ShortBox collection that will be released.
