Crowdfunding Comics: The Seasonally Appropriate ‘Bomb Scares’ #1 From Time Bomb Comics Funding Now
by Richard Bruton
Quality Brit publisher Time Bomb Comics‘ Bomb Scares anthology relaunches with a new number 1 and a hell of a lot of horror and comic talent – and it’s funding on Zoop right now.
The anthology from Time Bomb has been running since 2015, with three volumes published so far. But now they’re relaunching it with a brand-new #1, full of horror and featuring a list of great names in comics… including Liam Sharp, Alex Nino, Trevor Von Eeden, Jimmy Broxton, Hunt Emerson, John Erasmus, and David M. Windett.
Now that is a really strong line-up. Personally, as soon as I heard that Hunt Emerson was doing Frankenstein, I was there…
Edited by Paul H. Birch, the brand-new Bomb Scares is 60 pages of colour and black and white horror that’s currently funding/preordering on Zoop until the beginning of November.
“Both Paul and myself believe that horror comics can – and should – be more than just zombies, vampires and psychopathic killers, so you’ll find that the stories here range in tone from the unusual to the thought-provoking, to the challenging to the visceral.” – Steve Tanner – Time Bomb Comics chief
“Nothing stays buried forever… BOMB SCARES has finally been unearthed; its secrets about to be revealed, as one of the most formidable gatherings of creative talent – in far too long a time – within what remains a mighty tome of entertainment but now goes beyond expectations with series, full colour strips and oh, so much more besides. The Monsters in the Bullpen have been dying for you to see what they crafted for your pleasure, and trust you’ll not be disappointed.” – Paul H. Birch – editor, Bomb Scares
