'The Mire': Becky Cloonan launches crowd-funding project
Published Wednesday, Feb 15 2012, 12:42 GMT | By Hugh Armitage | Add comment
Becky Cloonan has launched her own crowd-funding project for The Mire.
The cartoonist is running her own Kickstarter-style scheme to fund the graphic novel.
"I'm doing what so many others have done through Kickstarter and other fundraising sites - try to raise money to print in large quantities, except I'm cutting out the middle-man," Cloonan wrote on her blog.
The project is the standalone follow-up to her 2011 self-published project Wolves.
"The Mire is a self-contained story set on the eve of battle, when a humble squire is given the task of delivering a letter to a decomposing castle in a swamp," she said.
"Met with mysterious apparitions, he slowly unveils the truth about why he was sent there, as his past is re-written over the course of 22 pages."
Cloonan is also offering incentives to those who donate more, including original character sketches.
She is currently working with frequent collaborator Brian Wood on Conan the Barbarian. Their Channel Zero work will also be collected in May.
