Keep the News Coming -- Donate to BrokenFrontier.com

One hand washes the other, I believe. Therefore, in the interest of quality comic news coverage overall, I hope that TGC readers will consider making a small donation to the marvelous BrokenFrontier.com site as well. As a reader and contributor there for some time now, I feel the service they provide nicely complements the coverage found at other sites yet remains unique and distinct (particularly its surprisingly fair-minded and intelligent message board community).

Founder Frederick Hautain is putting out the call for donations to help finance the site (with a portion also going to charity, too). As he says:

After covering the comic book industry for over two and a half years, Broken Frontier still lacks a major sponsor to provide us with some financial backing and to help us cover the costs of running this website. Even our sales of individual banners and buttons have been sparse at best.

Since the site was launched, BF has always enjoyed a steady growth, indicated by our switch to a larger server in January 2004 and our upgrade to a fully database-driven system last November. As our audience continued to expand, so has our focus on daily, useful and intelligent comic book coverage. Our staff keeps on garnering critical acclaim for its solid articles, reflected by the fact that BF quotes continue to grace comic covers and interiors.

In reality though, BF needs to find a way to cover its expenses in order to get by. Without a premier sponsor, the only means to do that is by holding a Broken Frontier Fundraiser.
