Team Airith’s “Junkman: Gimme Shelter” Unites “Escape or Die” with the “Dwarfverse” (Crowdfunding Spotlight)
Earlier this week, Team Airith launched a crowdfunding campaign for Junkman: Gimme Shelter, a 12-page, ashcan-sized comic book that is being offered up with two additional ashcan stories: Virus in a Lullaby and RADR.
The books are also available on the Team Airith website, where they have raised nearly $2 thousand at the time of this writing.
Written by (I dunno, the campaign doesn’t say), and featuring illustrations by (dunno- doesn’t say), Junkman acts as a bridge between 656 Comics’ Escape or Die series and Team Airith’s “Dwarfverse.”
Here’s the official pitch taken from the Junkman Indiegogo campaign page:
