Short Summary
Hello True Believers! My name is Chuck, I am the co-creator and letterer and digital media editor with Sporkman Studios and along with my partner Eric J. Berry. We released our first comic, Sporkman: Conventions, back in the 2006. Since then we released the short story Sporkman to the Rescue and the three issue Sporkman Goes to Japan originally in black and white due to production cost. After a years’ long hiatus we went back and had Conventions and then Goes to Japan colorized. We have successfully funded and fulfilled two campaigns. We are now spinning off the character, Natsume, from Goes to Japan in her own manga series, Spearhead. We have re-teamed with Oray Studios who has also grown throughout the years.

Spinning Out of Sporkman Goes To Japan! Our heroine Natsume Wubi continues to battle the "remnants" of Shogun Z's forces, even though he has been captured and put on trial. How will she deal with the remains of his forces? Will she be able to capture and bring Reiko to justice? . Spearhead: Zero will be a 20+ Black and White Manga and it will have darker themes from manga's like Ghost In The Shell, You're Under Arrest and more. Our version of Japan pulls from these elements and incorporates into a unique story. We currently have a cover and 5 pages finished and are working on the other pages while we speak.

What We Need & What You Get
We aim to raise $3000 for the art, printing, and delivery of our first issue of Spearhead along with shipping materials and other merchandise perks. Plus free shipping and handling on all items.
Want additional items such as posters or extra copies of the comics? Upon checkout, you can purchase these as "add on" items. Again, the shipping and handling is FREE.
We do have planned stretch goals
Stretch Goal 1 * Locked - $4000 - A.D.F. Patch and stickers
Stretch Goal 2 * Locked - $6000 - 6 inch Resin Statues of Natsume
The Impact
We are trying to grow indie comics into other media including manga and much more. Spearhead will grow into a new series alternating with Sporkman Comics
Risks & Challenges
As with any comic there are risks of delay due to shortage of materials. We have turned into producing most of the project in-house besides the art work. Our Artist's have a rich history of production process. As our last funding on Sporkman Goes to Japan we didn't reach our funding goal but we still completed our fulfillment. So we are guaranteed to complete our project! With your help it will be quicker.
Other Ways You Can Help
Some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean they can't help:
- Ask folks to get the word out and make some noise about our campaign.
- Remind them to use the Indiegogo share tools!
And that's all there is to it.
