Yes, but it is being crowdfunded as six chapters of 28-30 pages each. The entire story is written. However, it takes time and a lot of financial support to sustain one project at 180 pages. This is why Branko and I have chosen to create the book in chapters.

Banked #1 is completely drawn, lettered, and ready to send to the printer. Delivery times will depend on the time required for individual backers to fill out surveys and the books to be printed, packaged, and shipped. The timeline is considerably shorter because we have completed the work.

Yes, there will be an exclusive cover for BANKED illustrated by artist Pablo Verdugo (Hollywood Trash @ Mad Cave Studios) that will not be available anywhere else.

As a fan of black-and-white comics (Walking Dead, Sin City, Essex County, Whiteout, old EC, and horror comics, to name a fraction), I find the format well suited to this story and the genre. This also helps make production time and costs more manageable.

Both Pornland, Oregon, and Jailbait & Trailer Trash have appeared in anthologies but have been reworked or remastered. They're available as stand-alone add-ons because, like BANKED, they are both crime stories dealing with life-changing events for their main characters.

With the fluctuating cost of shipping and postage these days, we have found it most accurate and beneficial (for both you, the backer, and us, the creators) to calculate accurate shipping in the pledge manager (Backerkit) once the campaign is complete. This way, we can provide the most accurate estimate based on the total weight of your final order, including any additional items added to Backerkit and the most current shipping rates provided by the various carriers used.

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
