HEY THERE BABIES!
As you may know Comic Book Slumber Party successfully secured a table at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival in May. The bad news is that the funding we were relying on to make the trip a reality has - well - fucked the fuck off. So Hannah K Chapman, Donya Todd, and Jack Teagle are joining forces!

CBSP started way back when in 2013. Hannah, with a lot of help from Donya, started the organisation with an aim to promote women in comics and add something unique to the UK comic scene. We focus on planning events that encourage comic fans and creators alike to get together and just make something already! We have hosted events in Bath, Bristol, and London with guests including: Gemma Correll, Philippa Rice, Lizzy Stewart, Rose Robbins, and Isabel Greenberg. We also publish anthologies with a mix of established creators and newcomers. Our first book Comic Book Slaughter Party (co-created with Pic'n'Mixtape) featured the work of: Anna Bongiovani, Jenn Woodall, Rebecca Tobin, Donya Todd, Sarah Burgess, and Rose Robbins to name just a few. And to finish, this March we are hosting our first 'bootcamp', a week of intensive comic oriented workshops hosted by Plymouth College of Art.
Hannah K Chapman is a comics enthusiast, writer, and event organiser. As well as CBSP she is responsible for Chicago's first monthly Ladies' Night hosted by Graham Crackers Comics and writes regular features for the Forbidden Planet International blog.
Donya Todd is an illustrator, painter, and comic artist who lives on a farm in Cornwall, England. Her comic book 'Death & the Girls' is published by Blank Slate Books and she is inspired by the magical, marvellous and macabre.
Jack Teagle is a British comic artist and illustrator. As well as his self-published work Jack's books Fight and Fight 2 were published by Nobrow and his work has been exhibited world wide.
Give us yer money!
- We're releasing some Pledge Exclusives including a one-off patch design by Kate Leth, a book of Greasy postcards, hand decorated CBSP Girl Gang jackets, and of course comics just for you!
- The two new releases will include the CBSP ANNUAL 2013 - collecting previously unseen workshop creators, comics jams, fan art, and fan art from our very first year. The second book will be a collection of stories featuring GREASY!

Funds raised will go directly to flying at least Hannah to Toronto for the festival with boxes and boxes of Comic Book Slumber Party books and merchandise. She'll also be packing self-published zines and comics from creators including: Donya Todd, Jack Teagle, Sarah Burgess, Isaac Lenkiewicz, and Kristyna Baczynski to name just a few.
- If we don't reach our goal any money raised will be spent re-printing Comic Book Slaughter Party and the two new releases. We'd love to debut them at TCAF but 'the book is the thing' and it's what we want to focus on.

Other Ways You Can Help
So you're strapped for cash? Big deal! Do a dog a favour and help us out in other ways:
- Spread the word - know anyone who loves comics? Tell them about us! Know people who don't like comics? TELL THEM ABOUT US!
- If you're a shop that sells comics, or a venue of any kind, that would be interested in hosting a CBSP event then get in touch. We'd love to arrange events during the month of May in any of the following cities: Chicago (USA), Pittsburgh (USA), Toronto (Canda), Stockholm (Sweden), or London (UK).
Regardless of what happens we intend to make 2014 an awesome year for women in comics, the UK indie scene, and for Comic Book Slumber Party. We'll drink to that!
Note: P&P is included as part of your pledge! We'll be posting a list of cities and venues we'll be visiting so if you're able to come and grab your pledges in person you're welcome to!
