The first Kickstarter project that I pledged money to was the production of Daniel Johnston's Space Ducks graphic novel. I finally got my grubby mitts on the book last week. It is a thing of beauty. There is a companion iOS app which I will download tonight.
In their first outing, the Space Ducks battle Satan in a surrealistic epic. If you don't know Daniel Johnston and/or you don't appreciate outsider, simplistic art, this isn't for you. It is raw and crudely hilarious. The ducks murder a lot of demons and party hard with hotties and 7-Up.
Here's a bit from the press release:

Here's a bit from the press release:
