For Sequential Magazine 15 I present to you a double feature of Jim Zub and Ryan North! Jim Zub started off in indie publishing and broke through with his creator owned image books Skullkickers and Wayward. Ryan North began with web comic Dinosaur Comics and has been doing creatively diverse projects ever since! Two excellent inspirations for our Canadian indie comics community.
In addition to issue 15 we will also be releasing a special bonus issue to mark the occasion! The bonus issue will collect our best previously published articles from issues 1 to 10 to give people a way to catch up and enjoy our previous work without reading all the issues. This will also help replace issues 1 to 8 in print which we will no longer be printing once they sell out.
Both of these issues will be available first exclusively through a crowdfundr campaign now live! Crowdfundr powers our online store and is a new service from a reputable Canadian digital fundraising company. It is now a certified B Corporation meaning they are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. This gives us a Canadian based alternative to other crowdfunding platforms which matches our values and ethics.
We’re launching the campaign to be able to print the book sooner by having pre-orders in hand. Plus we hope that this milestone issue attracts new readers thanks to promotion and our reader’s sharing of the campaign. We need your support to continue to grow our readership so we can continue to spotlight Canadian indie creators.
