There's just 24 hours left on Pete Nash's ambitions kickstarter project for issues 13-24 of his Striker comic, don't forget to pledge...
Pete Nash has just launched (here) his ambitions campaign to fund the production of issues 13-24 of his new Striker comic. Pete's previously used Kickstarter to raise funds for issue 1-12 of the comic, that campaign was raising about a £1,000 a day until the last couple of days when a lot of pledges were made, pushing the total to over £40,000.
This time Pete has set himself an even more ambitious goal - £45,000 in 14 days. That's a big total in not much time. The good news? Day one on the Kickstarter has been amazing with, as I type this, over £14,000 already pledged.
Good luck with it Pete, I'll be backing this.
About
Striker first appeared in November, 1985, as a black-and white, three-panel comic strip in The Sun, Britain’s biggest-selling newspaper. In 1998 it became the first comic strip in the world to be created in 3D animation software.
It now occupies a third of a page in the paper, seven days a week. The only character from the very first story who still features is the hero Nick Jarvis, who started as a young footballer and is now the CEO of British club Warbury Warriors. He’s married to the club’s beautiful billionaire owner, Li Ming.
WEEKLY COMICS
We’re almost at the end of our first 12 weekly comics - and we’re back on Kickstarter to raise funds for issues 13 to 24! So far nearly 3,000 fans have enjoyed each digital or print issue of the football-themed comic, with its gripping mix of hard drama and wild comedy.
The football action in Striker is shown free every week as animated highlights on Striker’s official website - planetstriker.com - and Striker’s Planet Striker channel on YouTube.
After watching the games, fans can catch up with all the results, match reports, features, stats and league tables in the following week’s comic.
Every 32-page issue also features 13 pages of the main serialised comic strip plus three pages of a strip focusing on young academy players.
Striker is available worldwide in a weekly digital format that can be downloaded or read online, or you can have printed copies delivered to your door every week.
STRIKER WORLD LEAGUE
Warbury fell out with the Football Association and FIFA last year and formed a breakaway world football league, made up of an initial 12 teams that has now grown to 16. But the football authorities declared that anyone and any club joining it will be banned from officially-sanctioned football for life.
The other World League teams are: Shamrockers (Ireland), Brecknock Dragons (Wales), Highland Terriers (Scotland), Prague Pulsars (Czech Republic), Spartiates (Greece), Bucharest Vampires (Romania), Lagos Gold Stars (Nigeria) Kampala Kickers (Uganda), Mombasa Mambas (Kenya), Sun City Tigers (India), Hong Kong Heat, Darwin Crocceroos (Australia), Lima Incas (Peru), Acapulco Aztecs (Mexico) and St Louis United (United States).
If the World League survives a current money-laundering scandal, it will expand to 20 teams next season and will ultimately have multiple divisions.
THE FUTURE – MORE ANIMATION AND CLUB STRIKER SOCIAL GAME
Our ambition is to develop the animation and create an online social game in which fans become members of a World League club - and have a say in the running of it.
Members will be able to have online debates and then vote in decisive polls to influence activities like team selections and tactics, the hiring and firing of managers, and the buying and selling of players.
Decisions they make will be reflected positively or negatively in their team’s odds for upcoming fixtures.
Risks and challenges
Having successfully completed and fulfilled the first 12 issues of the weekly Striker comic, backers should have confidence that we will be able to deliver on our promises.
The only risk that could prevent or delay fulfilment is in the event of something happening to a key member of our small team.
