Show Notes

Kickstarter. The word itself has become a holy grail of indie comic book production. The crowd will decide, ahead of time, if they’re interested in the comics you’re making. But it’s not as easy as all that. A successful campaign is planned and thoughtful. To talk about Kickstarter, we’ve brought in a special guest this week, as Tyler James of ComixTribe joins Josh Flanagan to talk about his campaign for Oxymoron, and the things that he thinks helped make it a success. If you’re interested in alternate methods to get your comics made, you need to listen to this show, and you need to do your research.

Running Time: 00:24:33

We’ll be back next week with Andy Schmidt and more Make Comics advice.
