    CLOSED... for now! 😮👀

    Hello, comic book friends!

    It's time for another sale of back issues to help fund making comics!

    For the past four years, I've been focusing on making comics rather than collecting them. So far, I've successfully funded 7 comics on Kickstarter, and I'm about to launch my next Kickstarter for my newest comic, The Crimebusters #5. 

    But it's the nature of the beast that I need to pay my artists up front. And right now, I've got multiple comics currently in progress. So it's time for another sales thread to help fund the art for my newest comics!

    All the money from all sales in this thread will be used to make NEW COMICS. :grin: I have three comics in progress at the moment: The Crimebusters #6, a romance comic one shot, and a new epic fantasy series called Quest which is my homage to classic Bronze Age books like The Warlord and Conan. 

    I had my artist do a double page spread for Quest as an homage to Warlord. Here's a look at it - this is what your purchases will be funding!

    Anyway, books coming right up! I just wanted to give you a peek at exactly where your money is going! :banana:

    1.  :takeit:  in thread trumps PM conversations.

    2. In the case of multiple PMs, or take its, I will go by time stamp. 

    3. no HoS/probation people please. I'm Crimebuster, not Crimeenabler

    4. shipping is FREE to the U.S., or $25 to Canada. Any import fees to Canada to be paid by the recipient. I wish this was easier, but they have made things real messy to ship up to Canada. 

    5. Paypal for books under $1k - check for books over $1k

    6. please pay promptly, I have a crimefighting monkey sidekick to feed

    7. If there's any kind of issue with the books, let me know within one week of receiving it and we can figure out some kind of return. But I don't anticipate any issues!

    My newest comic The Crimebusters #5 is coming out on Kickstarter on January 30. This is the first issue I haven't drawn myself -- I've brought in a new artist by the name of Mac Radwanski to take over the art from me so I can get the comics out faster. 

    But I still drew one of the variant covers. The Crimebusters is a continuation of the Golden Age "Crimebuster" strip from the Lev Gleason comic Boy Comics, so every issue I do a variant cover with the original logo and numbering. 

    This time, the story features the return of Crimebuster's sidekick Squeeks the Monkey, so I did a cover featuring him. It's also an homage to Gil Kane's classic cover from Rex the Wonder Dog #11. What can I say, I love doing homage covers! I didn't have to change a lot for this one, just swapped Squeeks for Rex, turned the humans into my characters Chuck and Trixie and made them a little bigger, and did a little bit with the background and the mushroom cloud. The dinosaur is 100% Gil Kane. 

    Here it is:

    You'd have a better chance of catching a glimpse of Bigfoot in your backyard then Sweethearts 122.

     

    Ever since this came up in this thread, I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a Sweethearts 122. Wouldn't you know it, one came up for sale right here on the boards last week when I wasn't around. :flamed:

    Luckily for me, nobody bought it :whatthe:  so when the boardie eventually put it up on ebay, i got a notification, and bought it immediately. 

    :grin:

    @Crimebusterand @DiceXproducing their own comics - I'm happy as a wedge for those guys, they get to fulfill a dream I've (and many others) have always had.

     

    Thanks for thinking of me! This post actually came at a really good time for me. My current Kickstarter ends tonight (here it is if anyone is interested) and this campaign has been really challenging. In fact, the entire process of putting this issue together has been very difficult right from the start. But this thread is a really timely reminder that even when it's hard, making comics (and reading and collecting comics) is the most fun around. 🤗
