Welcome to this week’s roundup of The Beat comics crowdfunding! Join us as we learn about a tale of gothic folklore and Mexican culture, an anthology about life and death, a comedian with a big chest, and more!
The weakest fish
Creator: Brian Weitzman (writer) and Edgar Camacho (artist)
Target: $1,500
End date: December 6
nice one: Digital copies are available for $25, physical copies are available for $55, signed copies are available for $75, and higher-tier retailers are selling for $150.
In 1961, Tim accidentally witnessed his mother’s affair. When family secrets collide, Tim flees on foot to Mexico, where he discovers a new world.
From the beginning, The weakest fish It feels unsettling, and flipping through the preview pages only reinforces that feeling. I can’t help but be drawn to it – it looks fantastic. The story follows a thirteen-year-old boy who escapes to Mexico after witnessing something he shouldn’t have seen, and I was eager to learn more. At 290 pages, it costs $55, which is a steal for a graphic novel of this size. On top of that, it’s inspired by Southern Gothic folklore and Mexican culture, so it’s no surprise that funding for the event is almost in place and supporters are still pouring in.

End date: December 6

Interesting true story. A life interpreted by many artists. Car creature comics! This reward: 1 death! There may actually be more than one.
So Button is back on Kickstarter! Bayliss has once again provided financial support for the latest issue, which continues to be an anthology of heartfelt true stories from a variety of creators. This time, the theme revolves around life and death, with Bayliss reflecting on the loss of his comics dealer and mother. This issue delves into loss, and So Buttons always tells impactful stories through the eyes of its creators. That’s why these stories are so powerful and each version offers a depth of storytelling. This is a great addition to the Kickstarter, with beautiful artwork and some amazing ideas, so look no further – you won’t want to miss this.

Chest and face
Creator: Dean Haspiel (Creator/Artist/Writer)
Target: $8,000
End date: November 22
nice one: Digital copies are available for $10, physical copies for $15, signed copies for $25, or at higher levels, get signed prints of Chest Face, exclusive black and white prints of Chest Face and Meridian Prime, and more!
It’s a pulp noir parody about a stand-up comedian with his face buried in his chest.
Haspil has been in the spotlight before for his fantastic seriesred hookso we’re happy to see him return with a boob face. As always, Haspil’s unique ideas make for some interesting stories. Chest and face Follow a comedian with a face literally on his chest – it’s self-explanatory! However, Haspel added a twist to the story, telling the story of “Breast Face,” who, while developing his own comedy special, was hounded by the company that originally put his face on Chest. It’s a body horror satire, but at its core it’s about finding your first laugh and how pure that feeling can be. That’s why we at The Beat crave more. This project is already funded, so if you join now you won’t miss out! Be sure to check it out—you won’t regret it!
