We read the campaign pages so you don't have to. Every issue of the newsletter is a short list of indie comic projects that are live right now, with enough about each one to tell whether it is for you.

Featured project

Gun Street Girl

Action, magic and monsters in London. A creator-owned book from the team behind it, funding now — and the kind of project this site exists for: independent, printed, and easy to miss if you are not watching the platform the week it launches.

    Dusk: The Origin

    As a battered wife, Eve’s only concern was to keep her marriage together. But when she is kidnapped into the sordid supernatural world of vampires and foul magic, Eve finds she doesn’t want to leave.

  • Magnus Jakuta cover art: a logo in gold over a line of costumed heroes against a lightning storm

    Magnus Jakuta #5

    The intergalactic saga continues. Issue five of an ongoing series, and one of the long-running independent titles that keeps coming back to crowdfunding rather than waiting on a publisher.

Three platforms, one newsletter

  • Kickstarter

    Still where most indie comics launch. All-or-nothing funding: if a campaign misses its goal nobody is charged, so a project that funds is one that had the money it asked for.

    • All-or-nothing goals
    • The biggest comics audience

  • Zoop

    Comics and graphic novels only, run by people who have shipped books. Campaigns are managed rather than self-serve, which usually shows in how the rewards and the shipping are put together.

    • Comics-first platform
    • Hands-on campaign support

  • Indiegogo

    Where flexible funding lives: a campaign can keep what it raises without hitting its goal. Worth reading the funding type on the page before you back — it changes what your pledge is buying.

    • Fixed or flexible funding
    • InDemand keeps selling after the close
