ComicBooks For Kids

This is update is so important, I made a video.
CLICK HERE to watch on Youtube.
Here’s the transcript:
Once, when I was eight years old, I was home sick. My dad had to make a run to the grocery store and he brought me home a comic book. (They had comics in the grocery stores in those days) here I am 35 years later and not only am I making comics for a living. I also still have the book that he bought me. Spectacular Spider-Man number 167 with art by Sal Buscema. It's not bagged and boarded because it's particularly valuable or that the story was particularly good. It's because this comic changed the course of my life. I know firsthand how important a bit of escapism can be when you're feeling scared and vulnerable.
That's why, I’m thrilled to partner once again with ComicBooks For Kids a 501(c) non profit, that focuses on getting comic books to kids in hospitals and cancer centers. For almost a decade, ComicBooks for kids has been supporting 200 Hospitals in all 50 states, getting comics to literally thousands of children in need.

With their blessing I’ve created a special add on for this Kickstarter. For a specially discounted price you can get a copy of concrete Arcanum: living with monsters into the hands of a hospitalized child who could probably really use a distraction right about now.
When you back, just scroll down the add-ons until you find the comic books for kids icon and add it to your pledge.
If you've already backed, just click on your account icon, click on backed projects, click Concrete Arcanum, click “manage pledge”, reselect your pledge tier, scroll down until you find the comic books for kids add-on, adjust accordingly, then go to check out.
A kid will get a copy of Living With Monsters, free to them, and you'll get a personalized thank you comic from myself and comic books for kids founder Mark Weiss.
Thanks in advance for selecting the comic books for kids add-on, and for making a difference in the life of a hospitalized child. It will mean the world to them, and it means the world to me.
My thanks to you for selecting this very important add-on, and for backing Concrete Arcanum: Living With Monsters.
As always, remember to be good.
But not too good 😉
A most prolific crew.

Every creator in Concrete Arcanum: Living With Monsters was selected by me personally.
Even so, I continue to be amazed by the quality and output of these skilled individuals and teams.
In addition to being in Living With Monsters, several of them have their own live campaigns going on or launching soon! Here are just a few of the other projects by Concrete Arcanum creators on Kickstarter!
HellHole Quarterly by Thane Benson
A 48 page serial pulp noir comic. A stylish, edgy, crime mystery set in the fires of Hell. And you decide the price!
Faster Than Light Volumes 1 & 2 by Sarah Cooke
The galaxy is growing! Hot on the heels of Volume 1's success, Faster Than Light is back with an all-new Volume 2! Jump on board with this curated collection of grown-up, futuristic stories about families of all shapes and sizes. And don't worry, we've got Volume 1, too, so you can get all caught up! Also featuring Concrete Arcanum alum Hannah E. Smith!
MANDRILL P.I. Issues #1-7 by Christopher Brimmage
Read along as MANDRILL P.I. fights to save his city despite his struggle to pull himself out of a downward spiral of grief and alcoholism following his wife's untimely death. This series has it all: Action! Comedy! Adventure! Mystery! Noir! Drama! Cartoons! The supernatural & paranormal! It's kinda like Hellboy meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and we’d love for you to join in on the fun.
Voodoo Nations - Complete Series by Travis Gibb
Voodoo Nations is a globe-trotting supernatural horror comic series where missionaries collide with dark magic, corrupt spiritual leaders, and the true cost of belief. Follow RJ and her husband Brent as their path of service takes a terrifying detour into the world of voodoo — one filled with ancient rites, moral decay, and sinister forces that don't just want your body... they want your faith.
Fly with Pride: Phoenix Hard Enamel Pins by Attic Door Media
By Marc Romero and company! Show your pride all year long with these excellent pins from the crew at Attic Door Media! Brilliant, brave, and burning with truth, the Pride Phoenixes will be our guiding flame! With them at the front, we will not just resist the nightmares, we will rise above them.
And of course, you can see more of these fine folks’ work in Concrete Arcanum: Living With Monsters, now live on Kickstarter!
I am constantly in awe of the fact that all these amazing people have chosen to lend me their skills. I can’t wait to share more of their work with you.
More soon!
Till then, be good.
But not too good 😉
