This will be a full-color reprint of the original Stump comic book (first printed in black-&-white, in 2013), with new story pages, revised dialog, and a new cover.
The majority of the book is done. I'm currently adding more pages to punch up the action and show more of Stump's origin. The first printing was 28 pages, but the book is currently sitting at 32 pages, with more being added. I've also increased the font size, which requires me to rewrite almost all of the dialog.
Since, I am doing all of the writing, art, coloring, and lettering myself, I am able to keep my costs low. So, my primary funding goal is to cover the printing costs and postage for mailing the book out to backers. Fulfillment will be my number one priority. After that, if I can make enough of a profit to continue creating new issues of Stump, that would be a dream come true.
Stump is a superhero that I created, in 1993, while I was in the Army and it's always been my dream to make a comic book series with him as the starring character. In addition to completing issue #1 for this campaign, I am also working on writing and drawing out issue #2 (with a few pages of issue 2 already drawn out). My plan is to start a second campaign for Stump #2 as soon as this campaign is successfully completed and in fulfillment. Then I hope to do it all again for issues 3, 4, 5 and so on.
I would love to spend the rest of my life drawing Stump comics, but I need your help to do that. Thank you for your time and consideration.
