Kickstarter is a tool that has helped many comic creators make their dreams become reality. It’s a place where creators can eschew conventional publishers and find an outlet for their bold visions and far-out concepts. With as little as a dollar, you can help a creator get closer to their goal. Today we’ll focus on a comic series that’s probably unlike anything you’ll ever find at your local comic shop.
JD Calderon created a wonderful fantasy adventure series called The Oswald Chronicles. Like most projects on Kickstarter, this series is a labor of love with roots in an original idea very dear to his heart. It started life as a web comic, and now the creative team wants to expand into a printed collected edition. It’s a great comic project with fantastic art. It’s a perfect present for that friend of yours who hates superheroes but loves fantasy. All you comic fans with girlfriends (yes, we do have girlfriends)? This would be the perfect gift for that special girl in your life.It’s got fairies, trolls, and a mouse with clothes. What’s not to like? Here is what JD has to say about his upcoming Kickstarter:

How is a humble scribe and gentlemouse supposed to survive? Find out by pre-ordering the first trade paperback compilation of The Oswald Chronicles.
