SO BUTTONS is an anthology of fun, heartwarming, true stories. One life (Jonathan’s!) interpreted by many amazing artists. The latest issue is now being crowdfunded on Kickstarter.
Jonathan’s life is a life surrounded by comix, celebrity, and coincidence and So Buttons collects it all in one lovely package.
Now about that fun part. This issue takes a little twist.
This issue is subtitled: Life & Death
Jonathan’s life has been full of coincidences and brushes with celebrities and comix folk since he’s been in entertainment and comics for his whole career. But he was hoping for something a little more high stakes with this issue.
Don’t ask for high stakes, because you just might get it. Jonathan’s comic book dealer of 40 years passed away. And then… his mom. That’s this comic.
Jonathan’s Collaborators in this issue include:
- MariNaomi on the cover
- Brian “Box” Brown going Baba Booey to you all
- T.J. Kirsch helps Jonathan meet Chester Brown
- and Sophia Glock follows up with a Jaime Hernandez encounter
- CM Campbell gets an honorary doctorate with James Earl Jones
- And Nathaniel Breen chimes in with Mr. Jones cosplay
- Summer Pierre tackles Jonathan’s parenting skills again
- And Steven Arnold tackles someone like a parent to Jonathan
And then there’s the Mom section. With both new stories and old stories that are like memories.
- New stories by Karl Christian Krumpholz and Ayoko Nito
- And old memories with T.J. Kirsch and Lisa Rosalie Eisenberg
Come along for a roller coaster of life AND death.
