KICKSTARTER KORNER: FROM CAN MAN TO FILE 13; CHILDHOOD COMIC GETS REIMAGINED FOR KICKSTARTER
This edition of Kickstarter Korner kicks the Can with Dan Hosek and also, apparently Keith Koppenhoefer, who jumped in so as not to be silenced any more!
File 13 is a fun retro superhero comic looking for that last boost to make a childhood dream a reality.
Consider your pledges after the jump!

Dan Hosek: Thanks for having me, Clay. File 13 is a full-color, monthly series about Scott Solson’s high tech, high adventure “hero’s journey” (with a healthy dose of absurdist humor thrown in). The stories draw on equal parts classic superhero storytelling, pop culture references, high drama, science fiction, and historic events that are stranger than fiction.
At its best, it will drop your jaw then make you laugh three pages later. Its also the culmination of a 30 year journey for me and this character. I created the basis for the book—well, the book now hardly resembles anything like what I created when I was 12, but the basic characters are there.
