Here at Fanbase Press, we strive to provide an outlet for up-and-coming creators to promote and showcase their incredible works. With thousands of creators utilizing crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to make those works a reality, we will highlight these talented creators and their noteworthy campaigns through #CrowfundingFridays! We hope that you will join us in giving these projects a moment of your time (and possibly your support).
Project #1: Sidequests
What it’s about: Twenty short comics about the little adventures that make the journey, from goblins to superheroes to ghosts to spies and beyond!
Sometimes, there’s no straight path from Origins to Destinations. The journey you set out on has a way of Becoming something more—a twist, a detour, a hidden door, and new Cohorts gained along the way… That’s where the magic happens.
Welcome to Sidequests, the 14th anthology of short comics from Oneshi Press! Crafted by 36 diverse creators from around the world, these tales will whisk you away to uncharted realms, unexpected encounters, and thrilling adventures.

Project #2: Scott Snyder Presents: The CloakRoom 1-3
What it’s about: A holiday anthology created by the students of Scott Snyder!
The stories of The CloakRoom have all been written by members of Scott Snyder‘s writing class/workshop, operated through his Substack, Our Best Jackett. This is Issue #3 of the ongoing series, with seven brand new short comics collected in a gorgeous perfect-bound book. It’s also the very first holiday issue, featuring stories from some of your favorite holidays.
This issue includes 54 pages of surprising, sometimes dark, and sometimes very funny genre-spanning and genre-bending stories, and you can pick up the first two issues if you missed those campaigns.

Project #3: League of Cryptids: Frogs Go to Loveland #1-2
What it’s about: Unfortunately, Earth has the reputation of being the “backwoods” of the galaxy. These 5 mysterious creatures (Sasquatch, The Loch Ness Monster or Nessa, The Jersey Devil, Mothman, and Chupacabra) are representatives of a federation of planets unfortunate enough to be assigned to earth. Over the millennia, they have helped humans develop and defended Earth from outside forces.
League of Cryptids #2 is the second issue in a 4-part story that covers the League’s origin, and they face a challenge in the form of an invading alien force. The alien force is based on the real cryptid, the Loveland Frogmen.

Project #4: Road Gear #1
What it’s about: After growing up in foster care, Terry’s life was just getting started when a routine check-up revealed a terminal illness. Before he can even begin to process his situation, he is swept away to another world by a demon hunter named Ellsworth, who believes Terry’s bleak diagnosis is a valuable asset.
In our world demons take the form of bad ideas or compulsions. In this new world, demons are forced into physical form. Here, they can be defeated—but only those near their mortal end are granted the armor for hunting demons.
