BURN is an ongoing, romance, drama comic from Amanda Johnson and Jacob Bouvet. This campaign is for a print edition of the already complete third chapter of the story.
BURN is the story of Ben and Charlie, a gay couple in the 1950s. After the violent encounter with a couple of good-old-boys in the last issue, our couple and their compatriots find themselves on the run with the law not far behind.
BURN is a digital first series that we publish on LINE Webtoon’s Discover platform. In the year we have been releasing on the platform, we’ve gained over three thousand subscribers. A new page is posted every Tuesday so, be sure to subscribe and follow along at burncomic.com!
The book itself will be a 24 page, saddle-stitched comic book with purple and white interiors and a yellow and purple cover.
Just like our previous chapters, this third chapter is 100% complete, and the book is ready to be sent out shortly after the campaign ends. The book and other rewards (excluding original art pieces) will be printed locally in my hometown of Springfield, IL to ensure a quick turnaround time for reward fulfillment.
Below are some examples of the outstanding rewards you can get as a part of this campaign. Some rewards are limited in quantity, so don’t sleep on them.
-Amanda’s 2019 sketchbook is 20 pages that are bursting at the seams with process work from this past year.
-Speculative Relationships Vol. 3 is a 180 page, black and white sci-fi romance anthology that features 15 stories from a bevy of talented comic creators. This anthology marked the first or our collaborative efforts in print.
– A 9×12 custom, bust up illustration of a character or your choosing. Illustrations will be black and white and may include an ink wash at artist’s discretion. Artist reserves the right to decline any requests as she sees fit. If that occurs, we will work with you on alternative options.
– An original art page of your choice from either Burn chapters 1-3 or Ko Gaine 01. Original pages are eleven inches wide by seventeen inches tall. Art will be selected by backers in the order they backed the project. If there is a specific page you are interested in, feel free to reach out regarding availability.
