This time around they're raising money through <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1940696606/the-new-brighton-archeological-society-book-two">Kickstarter</a>. Below is a Wired Magazine Q&A with the writer.<br /><br />And while you're at it, read their first book at their <a href="http://newbrightonsociety.com/plete/">site</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2011/03/why-kickstarter-may-save-independent-comic-books-qa-with-author-mark-andrew-smith/"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why Kickstarter May Save Independent Comic Books: Q&A With Author Mark Andrew Smith</span></span></a><br /><br />By Dave Banks<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi92u-uZUNSoWc74grCl0NpWimgDIeCYkSzA3cqm6DJs3De4h1XHUcOU-OFc48P6FoiFMJyHfjRtWYxEKIEadAJPhT1DJ99jXkHuzocjDC-L2Rk_MOqvn2XsjVtyCzywjK_YqW4Hg/s1600/NBAS_kickstarter.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi92u-uZUNSoWc74grCl0NpWimgDIeCYkSzA3cqm6DJs3De4h1XHUcOU-OFc48P6FoiFMJyHfjRtWYxEKIEadAJPhT1DJ99jXkHuzocjDC-L2Rk_MOqvn2XsjVtyCzywjK_YqW4Hg/s400/NBAS_kickstarter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582462145154730146" border="0" /></a><br />When we first read <em>The New Brighton Archeological Society</em> two years ago, we immediately recognized what a great story was being told. Finally, <a href="http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/02/the-geekdad-int/">here was an all ages graphic novel</a> that treated kids intelligently and was really entertaining at the same time. <p>So we were surprised to see that the sequel was going to require some <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1940696606/the-new-brighton-archeological-society-book-two">Kickstarter funding</a> to get going. Surely a critical darling like <em>The New Brighton Archeological Society</em> didn’t need funding to get off the ground, did it? To find out more, we asked the book’s author, Mark Andrew Smith, about the <em>New Brighton</em> saga, Kickstarter, and the state of all ages’ books today.</p><p><a href="http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2011/03/why-kickstarter-may-save-independent-comic-books-qa-with-author-mark-andrew-smith/">Read more...</a></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">New Brighton Archeological Society Image © Mark Andrew Smith</span>, Mar. 2011<br /></p>Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13791724947253498558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17345699.post-19983760939961134762011-03-07T12:45:00.000-08:002011-03-07T12:47:27.626-08:00Soilwork Pin Up for Nuclear Blast and Terminal Press Comic<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDlsB9hgDbbP5av-ZtGzaRCh-Hd6L7dnk1fs9AyzwSU7QF3bKm5sjJDzb3rS7KJ9cGze1SDppz-6-TaA-64m1FEhNdWmmhuCMrYliLwy9ACnjFb2kK5Y0S-36F_NRpBFRnGgiWOQ/s1600/soilwork_final_02_forweb.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDlsB9hgDbbP5av-ZtGzaRCh-Hd6L7dnk1fs9AyzwSU7QF3bKm5sjJDzb3rS7KJ9cGze1SDppz-6-TaA-64m1FEhNdWmmhuCMrYliLwy9ACnjFb2kK5Y0S-36F_NRpBFRnGgiWOQ/s400/soilwork_final_02_forweb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581442111047453634" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="messageBody">Pin up for the upcoming Soilwork comic by Nuclear Blast and Terminal Press.</span></span>Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13791724947253498558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17345699.post-16590182520961757852011-02-09T08:43:00.000-08:002011-02-09T08:46:48.483-08:00Art Opening: Artists Against the War<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLyNDe3mi51Ym4HEt9QvuArg0RCQWjUxR952hbAN117AYMbcorwE5kzd118_iyqJWDMB0koavGIxC5gz-qZSfxTQEeKnmUp-lferzN2lA7PyJBgbjaQSau1G_bfRkwukBDzBeBQ/s1600/war.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 373px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLyNDe3mi51Ym4HEt9QvuArg0RCQWjUxR952hbAN117AYMbcorwE5kzd118_iyqJWDMB0koavGIxC5gz-qZSfxTQEeKnmUp-lferzN2lA7PyJBgbjaQSau1G_bfRkwukBDzBeBQ/s400/war.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571732000448253202" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">This one is for those who'll be in NYC tomorrow night:<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="messageBody"><br />The Society of Illustrators in NYC is having a killer art opening tomorrow night: <a href="http://www.societyillustrators.org/Events-and-Programs/Lectures/2011/Artists-Against-the-War/Artists-Against-the-War.aspx">Artists Against the War</a>, featuring art work by such great artists as Peter Kuper, Steve Brodner and Lynne Foster</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;">.
