Late last year, a regional comics publisher, Black Eye Books, contacted me about crowdfunding a collection of my Dishman small press comics series. I had nothing to lose by agreeing to it, but I wasn't confident that this project would succeed. I never saw myself as a name draw in the field, and Dishman has been available to read online (for free) for years now. So no one needed to buy this book, it seemed to me.

The crowdfund was set to launch officially this morning, and I found out that it met its necessary goal in an hour. I am pleasantly (but thoroughly) shocked.
