ComicScene Annual 2021

 

Hi everyone, 

• If you are reading this post please consider supporting the ComicScene 2021 Annual Kickstarter campaign that I am providing some content for.
• As usual no worries if you are not able to help out this time, it is all good.
• Maybe you can help by spreading the word on your social media instead.
• I was asked to provide a short Shaman Kane story for the Comic Scene 2021 Annual Kickstarter campaign which I happily agreed to do.
• I decided to donate my entire proceeds for creating this story to charity.
• The Kickstarter campaign target goal is £3500.00p
• With 14 Days left as of 08/09/20 the current total pledged so far is £3356.00p so we need another £144.00p to reach the original target goal.
• There is also a stretch goal alternate cover which I was asked to create inspired by the 1983 2000AD Annual cover
• This new cover will feature Independent comic book characters Shaman Kane, Moon and Alex Automatic which will be given to everyone who has pledged over £30 once we reach £5000.00p
• If we reach this stretch goal, I will also donate my page rate for this cover to charity.
• Here is a link to the Kickstarter campaign which has more information about all the wonderful creators and stories in the annual: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/comicscene/comicscene-annual-2021?fbclid=IwAR1vmvZ7BfYVoH_R8-YmzttXImHF0gat8vzM7ThzonW3McvXzgFD-iFzmGA
