I only plug one Kickstarter project about every 3-4 months. This is the only one 'til April.
Last year, my pal Jackie Estrada successfully Kickstarted her book, Comic Book People, a collection of photos she'd taken of folks at comic book conventions in the seventies and eighties. Despite the fact that I was among them, folks ponied up the money, the book was published and from what I can tell, everyone liked it. If you didn't get one, you can now order a copy on Amazon.
Now, she's back with Comic Book People 2. This is currently on Kickstarter, looking for funding and you oughta hustle over there and pledge the bucks necessary to get your own copy. This one covers the nineties, an exciting time in comics…and Jackie's camera and keen eye were around to capture its star players.
Among those you'll find in this volume are Will Eisner, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Vin Sullivan, Paul Norris, Martin Nodell, Chad Grothkopf, Al Williamson, Sheldon Moldoff, Bob Kane, Gene Colan, Marie Severin, Irwin Hasen, Harry Lampert, Ric Estrada, Bill Ward, Ramona Fradon, Bob Haney, Nick Cardy, Paul S.
