So, I'm of two minds about this whole Kickstarter phenomenon. On the one hand, I love that it's a truly democratic, grass roots way for people to fund various projects without having to beg big fat corporations for money. That's cool. On the other hand, the Lone Wolf, Blue Collar Dude in my doesn't like the idea of begging anybody for money just to produce something. In my world, you take all the financial risk yourself, then you produce the product, then you beg people to buy it.
(Speaking of which, there's a TON of great, affordable comix for sale in my online store at www.torcpress.com. Just sayin'.)
Having said all of that, I just saw a Kickstarter project that I immediately dumped money into. Apparently Jack Kirby's Grandson is attempting to publish a coffee table book full of photos of the King, unpublished artwork, and a full, unpublished play. In my opinion, the world can't have enough Jack Kirby anything in it, so I immediately pledged to the Kickstarter. Plus, I get some stuff with it, so that's cool too. Anyway, if you want to check it out, it's at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1478125734/personal-look-into-the-life-of-jack-kirby-the-king. I know it's already fully funded, but whatever man. Get in on it.
LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!
