We feel deeply, we express when we feel like it, we cry Heart Shaped Tears.”

American Cult edited by Robyn Chapman

From its earliest days, America has been home to spiritual seekers.

In 1694, the religious tolerance of the Pennsylvania Colony enticed a Transylvanian monk and his forty followers to cross the Atlantic. Almost two hundred years later, a charismatic preacher founded a utopian community in Oneida, New York, that practiced socialism and free love. In the 1960s and ’70s, a new generation of seekers gathered in vegetarian restaurants in Los Angeles, Satanic coffee shops in New Orleans, and fortified communes in Philadelphia. And in the twenty-first century, gurus use self-help seminars and get-rich-quick schemes
to evangelize to their flocks.

Across the decades, Americans in search of divine truths have turned to unconventional prophets for the answers. Some of these prophets have demanded their faith, fortunes, and even their very lives. In American Cult, over twenty cartoonists explore the history of these groups with clarity and empathy—looking beyond the scandalous headlines to find the human stories within.

Featuring the talents of cartoonists Steve Teare, Emi Gennis, Ellen Lindner, Rosa Colón, Janet Harvey, Jim Rugg, Andrew Greenstone, Lara Antal, Josh Kramer, Mike Dawson, Ryan Carey, Mike Freiheit, Jesse Lambert, Ben Passmore, Lisa Rosalie Eisenberg, Vreni Stollberger, J.T. Yost, Robyn Chapman, Robert Sergel, Lonnie Mann, and Box Brown.

Kickstarter Spotlight: Thoughts From Iceland, a Travelogue Comic

2015-03-20-Thoughts-From-Iceland-Complete-Coverby Lonnie Mann

I took a trip to Iceland in December 2012, and then spent a year and a half creating a travelogue comic about my trip, Thoughts From Iceland. Eventually, I self-published the comic in the form of three small volumes. But since I had them printed in such short runs (only 100 each), they were really expensive. That meant I have to charge people more for them at conventions, on Etsy, etc. I want to get these into people’s hands, but those short runs just don’t make a ton of economic sense.

This Kickstarter‘s meant to raise money to print a longer run (1,000), which will mean that not only can I print high-quality, full-color comics, but they’ll cost a reasonable amount for me to print, which means I’ll be able to sell them at a much more reasonable price! Win-win for everybody, I say. This book not only compiles all the comics and bonus content from those three small volumes, it also includes over 30 pages of new stuff: watercolors and stories about my second trip to Iceland, a glossary, and an Icelandic pronunciation guide.

Some really cool people have said some really lovely things about my comic. For example, Brian K Vaughan, the creator of Saga, Y: The Last Man, Runaways, etc, happened upon my comic on ComiXology, and recommended it to someone in the letters section of Saga #19. I wrote in asking if I could use his awesome quote as a blurb, and he said he was happy to (in Saga #24)! “A terrific comic travelogue… It made me feel as if I actually visited a place I’ve never been to, one I now want to “return” to soon. Fantastic colors, too.”

And if you’re into awesome travelogues in general, like Lucy Knisley’s, you might be interested to read her blurb! “Lonnie Mann carefully parses out the wonders and pitfalls of Icelandic tourism with charming personality and enthusiastic artwork. The result is a lovely and entertaining read; his love of the trip is infectious, and his voice is adorable.”

I’d be super appreciate of any support anyone can provide, including simply letting people who might be interested know about the Kickstarter. : )
