Dear friends, colleagues, and patrons;

There are just three days left to back this 200+ page volume of comic anthologies from Northside Comic artists, including our 4 previous anthologies and our newest "Memories". I have a three page autobiographical story in "The Other Side" and another in "Memories". I also designed cover art for each of these anthologies. I highly recommend pledging at one of our "creator pack" levels, where you get limited edition comics, swag, and original art.

Northside Comic Artists is a collaborative of comic book creators in the city of Chicago. Over the past three years we have created and printed four different comics anthologies (You may have backed our first or second book on Kickstarter previously). We just put the finishing touches on our fifth anthology titled "Memories" and rather than do a separate small print run we thought "What the heck!" and decided to print all five of the books in one deluxe volume. Now we just need your help funding it!

We are kickstarting a 200+ page volume containing 68 stories centered around 5 separate themes and representing the work of 44 different creators.

This book would contain five separate themed comic anthologies:

Identity (1st printing, Oct 2015)
The Middle of the Night (1st printing, June 2016)
The Other Side (1st printing, February 2017)
Misadventure (1st printing, November 2017)
Memories (Never before printed!)
