Launched August 17 and wrapping up on September 16, 2012 (just three more days to go!), SK Comix Magazine aims to parody and pay tribute to the cartoons, comics, and pop culture of the 1980s. This project is specifically to help raise funds for a production run of the third issue of the magazine. Backers may receive digital copies of issues 1-3, print copies of issue 3 (and issue 2), a poster or print, plus some very fun things for higher tier backers. They appear to have just recently met their goal, but more money means larger distribution, so if you’re interested in the project, please go help them out!
