Project Title: Myth-Told Tales 2
Creator Name: Robert Aspirin, Jody Lynn Nye, Charles D. Moisant
Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/charles-d-moisant/robert-asprin-and-jody-lynn-nyes-myth-told-tales-2
Category: Art
Summary: This is a comic book based on a previously published short story set in Robert Aspirin's Myth Adventures world. It was funded through kickstarter in September, 2015

(Note: I included this nomination here because the new part of the project is the art, specifically producing a comic book in pdf and traditional formats, so I do not consider it a web comic. It is, however, obviously a comic. If this is judged to be more appropriately entered in the web comic category, I request that this nomination be placed there instead.)

Re: Nomination

[ysabetwordsmith]

I have indeed moved this nomination to the Webcomics category, with a note.

Thank you. I would have asked for guidance before nominating except it was so close to the deadline, and so close to Imbolc too, so I figured you'd be unavailable.

Re: Nomination

[ysabetwordsmith]

Yes, I was unavailable, sorry about that. Back now and hope to get the voting posts up today.
