August: Purgatory Underground - Book One Crowdfunding Now

Back It Now On Zoop

Announced today and live on Zoop is August: Purgatory Underground - Book One by Benjamin Morse. I reviewed the initial issue of this book, and it will be great to see it collected.

Review - August: Purgatory Underground

The multi-time successful crowdfunder brings a brand new series to Zoop!

Now live on Zoop is a new campaign to fund August: Purgatory Underground - Book One.  This particular campaign comes hot on the heels of Morse’s uber-successful Zoop campaign for We Are Scarlet Twilight, which was picked up by publisher Red 5, who is releasing the softcover collection later this year.  With his track record of successful crowdfunding campaigns, August: Purgatory Underground is sure to please fans who have followed Morse on his self publishing journey. And what better day to launch a campaign titled August than August 1st!

This hardcover artbook and collection includes August: Purgatory Underground issues #1-4, a 13 page prequel story assembled from various development drafts and almost a decade of sketches, designs, story and art that went into the development of Purgatory Underground.

As a long civil war ends, the once celebrated hero CAPTAIN AUGUST finds himself in the center of an intergalactic controversy. Running out of time and options, he accepts a dangerous mission to a decaying planet- and finds that the war isn't nearly over! An action-packed sci-fi thriller that remixes the nostalgia of 80's cartoons in a contemporary style!

Zoop CEO, Jordan Plosky shares: “We are incredibly pleased to be working with a creator like Benjamin Morse again!  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.”

Benjamin Morse is a comics artist/writer and freelance graphic designer based in Hudson Valley, NY. He has published We Are Scarlet Twilight on Kickstarter and through Red 5, and the upcoming August: Terminus Angels and Scarlet Twilight: Cobalt Crisis.

Zoop is the home for creator-owned crowdfunding.  For publishers and creators, Zoop is an all-in-one pre-order, production, fulfillment, and marketing solution that connects them directly to their fans.
