We’re always happy to give a shout-out to anyone whose vision of comics and community so closely aligns with our own ethos so please give some support to our favourite radical indie publisher as they launch their Silver Sprocket fundraiser to secure their future. Full details in the press release below.
Celebrating 15 Years & Our First Fundraiser!
We’re so excited to be announcing the next step in Silver Sprocket’s journey to truly be an “independent” press as we gear up for another 15 years of artist-forward, socially conscious comics!
In these 15 years, we’ve published over 130 comics, opened up our public facing HQ and retail shop, and grown to a full 15-person team dedicated to making indie comics in service to our community. We have some big goals and we’re using this October to formally launch our membership program AND a massive fundraiser to shore up our little organization’s foundation.
CHECK OUT OUR FUNDRAISER HERE!
his fundraiser serves as an effort to keep Silver Sprocket sustainable for everyone we’ve worked with, letting local cartoonists use our equipment and resources to make their own comics, year-round community events, initiatives like the Pride In Panels: Queer Comics Festival and to support everyone who works at Silver Sprocket.
These efforts aren’t profit driven, nor do we want them to be—everything we do is central to our mission of supporting indie comics and community above all else.
Silver Sprocket isn’t a traditional business, priding ourselves on our commitment to artists and radical politics first, which is why we’re trying to avoid investor money that could threaten our independence—and instead turning to you, our community. We invite you to continue your relationship with us and help make this fundraiser a success by supporting everyone who makes Silver Sprocket possible!
We’ve got a few different options for how you can show your support. One way is to purchase a print from one of our many talented published artists and supporters. You can get a print from Michael DeForge, Jenn Woodall, Caroline Cash, Tillie Walden, Cam Marshall, and more! Check out just a few of the prints we have to offer below, and click the link here to check out the rest!
FUNDRAISING PRINTS TO PURCHASE!
You can also become a member of Silver Sprocket to show your support!
What exactly does that mean?
You can choose to either buy a monthly or yearly subscription where each month you will automatically be sent each new book we publish that month without having to place an order. Each subscription option can be either for digital or print copies. The only caveat here is that the print subscription is only available for US residents. For now.
When you subscribe you will also receive a discount on ALL store purchases! For a digital subscription, you will get an extra 5% off ALL purchases, and for a print subscription you will get an extra 10% off. The print subscription also comes with a free tote bag and the ability to switch out certain books if you’ve already placed an order for some OR there are some books you’re not interested in.
If you sign up in October, this means you’ll get The Chromatic Fantasy Art Magazine by H.A., Bloody Mary by Nick Winn, AND The Skin You’re In by Ashley Robin Franklin!
However you decide to show your support, even if it’s just shouting us out online or talking to your friends about this fundraiser, we appreciate it. Our community means the world to us and we couldn’t be where we are today without you.
Thanks for reading this far, for a wonderful 15 years, and here’s to another 15!
SILVER SPROCKET RULES OK!
