@bobbycampbell.net explains why growing the audience for Tales of the Illuminatus matters more than simply increasing the campaign total.

His Kickstarter advice?
Expect complications. Get ahead of production. Finish as much as possible BEFORE launch.

Your first comic doesn't need to be your magnum opus.
After 25 years making comics, @bobbycampbell.net advice to new creators is simple:
START SMALL.
Learn the process. Then build the epic.

25 years ago, @bobbycampbell.net was printing indie comics with 1,000-copy minimums.
Today creators can print what they need, crowdfund demand and compete professionally.
Are indie comics headed for a bust? Bobby thinks they're in a great place.
