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: High Street Hellcats
What it’s about: The setting is London in the 1920s, but not the high society London we are used to seeing. Rather, it’s the East End: street level, Cockney London, with a long and storied tradition of pickpocketing and highway robbery!
Meet the High Street Hellcats: a gang of women who run these streets: shoplifting, grifting, swindling, and partying their way through London – and punching a few constables along the way.
Whether they’re pulling off a heist in a high-end jewelry shop, posing as housemaids to fleece a country manor, or making a splash on the nightclub scene, this girl gang is roaring into the new century at full throttle. They’re ready to make their own destiny – and have fun doing it!
Think Peaky Blinders, but with a multicultural, gender-inclusive, all-sexual-identities vibe!

Project #2: Sussex: Chapters One and Two
What it’s about: Archie, an agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), is sent from London into occupied France as part of a Jedburgh operation to disrupt the German war machine. What awaits him is a test of mental fortitude, and trust becomes the key to returning home.
Sussex is a psychological thriller that explores mental health through the lens of a spy.

Project #3: Love Letters, Every Day
What it’s about: The beloved, social media sensation that are the comics of Background Noise have been collected for the first time as Love Letters, Every Day! All your favorite comics from Background Noise Comic’s first year have been brought together in this one book full of quirky, but genuine slice-of-life humor.
Love Letters, Every Day tells the heartfelt and humorous stories of the angst, whimsy, and passions experienced by real couple, Lisa Burdige and John Hazard. These brilliant comics depict John and Lisa’s daily life, from their work to their kids to their imaginary cats and everything geeky in between. This graphic memoir in comic strips is both an intimate look at one relationship and a hysterical reflection of a couples’ successes and struggles. Emotions are anthropomorphized, politics are satirized, and readers learn that relationships are messy things- filled with anxiety, complexity, and joy.
