Fund Me Friday: We Are Scarlet Twilight
New From Zoop
New to crowdfunding platform Zoop is the excellent We Are Scarlet Twilight from Ben Morse.
“Ben Morse Presents: We Are Scarlet Twilight”
The multi-time successful crowdfunder brings his latest installment to Zoop!
Now live on Zoop is a new campaign to fund We Are Scarlet Twilight. This particular campaign is unique as it gives supporters the chance to pledge for Issue #4 of the fan favorite series, as well as a Deluxe Hardcover of the entire series, 1-4! As recently announced, the title has been picked up by publisher, Red 5, who is set to release the standard softcover collection later this year.
Morse had successfully funded the first three issues of the series on Kickstarter, but has decided to move his crowdfunding efforts over to Zoop due to the built in support and infrastructure offered, allowing him the opportunity to focus more on creating the work, than dealing with printing, packing, shipping and the other administrative work of crowdfunding. This will allow him to create more comics in a quicker fashion. So, keep an eye out for more exciting work from Ben through crowdfunding and traditional publishers.
We Are Scarlet Twilight is a thrilling cyberpulp adventure, for fans of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon serials, Fleischer Bros Superman cartoons, Golden Age Comics or old school horror and crime stories. It is gorgeously presented in Morse’s inimitable artistic style, as he writes, pencils, inks, and colors the entire series!
This campaign gives you the chance to pick up any releases you missed on Morse’s previous campaigns, the current release of issue #4, as well as the exclusive collection of all four epic issues as a deluxe hardcover with 20+ pages of extra material! There are other rewards as well, such as a deluxe version of Issue #4, variant covers, digital versions, art prints, and even original art pages!
Zoop CEO, Jordan Plosky shares: “We are thrilled to be working with Steve and Chris on this project. It’s a feather in the cap of Zoop that we are able to help them realize their vision, when other methods could not. Finally, after so long of trying, there is now an outlet that fits the needs of creators such as Steve and Chris.”
Benjamin Morse is a comics artist/writer and freelance graphic designer based in Hudson Valley, NY. He has published August: Purgatory Underground in 2022 through Red 5 Comics, We Are Scarlet Twilight on Kickstarter, and the upcoming August: Terminus Angels and Scarlet Twilight: Cobalt Crisis.
