glennf, Day 2 of my Kickstarter campaign for How Comics Were Made, a book about the history of newspaper comics art, production, and reproduction, and it’s nearly 25% funded!
There’s an early-bird offer for the print + ebook bundle that’s still on the table through Thursday at 9 am PST: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/how-comics-were-made?ref=f5a9g8
Get to know more about the book at the campaign, at its website https://howcomicsweremade.ink, or by downloading a preview chapter https://howcomicsweremade.ink/pdfs/HCWM-preview-chapter.pdf
