`August: Purgatory Underground’ Hardcover Campaign Live On Zoop
by Tom Smithyman
Comics creator Benjamin J. Morse has launched a crowdfunding campaign to publish a hardcover version of August: Purgatory Underground. This campaign comes on the heels of Morse’s successful campaign for We Are Scarlet Twilight, a series picked up by publisher Red 5, which will release the softcover collection later this year. 
The hardcover collection includes August: Purgatory Underground issues #1-4, a 13-page prequel story assembled from various development drafts as well as almost a decade of sketches, designs and art that went into the story’s development.
The story centers around a celebrated war hero who finds himself in the center of an intergalactic controversy. Running out of time and options, he accepts a dangerous mission to a decaying planet, only to learn that the war isn’t over.
“We are incredibly pleased to be working with a creator like Benjamin Morse again,” said Zoop CEO Jordan Plosky. “When creators come back to Zoop for another campaign, we know we’re doing something right. Ben is a shining example of a creator truly blazing his own path in the world of crowdfunding.”
