Help Fund Dragzilla Comic Book
UPDATE: I'm trying to raise enough to get Dragzilla trademarked. That alone will eat the budget of $1500 that I had already set for the costume and new computer. Getting Dragzilla protected is now my number one priority.
Initially I had planned on promoting Dragzilla at Drag Con in NYC this Fall but sadly I wasn't able to raise enough to travel to Drag Con. I've since regrouped and am moving forward to finish the first issue of Dragzilla.
I'm focusing on promoting Dragzilla locally. My goal is to have a costume made and promote the comic book as Dragzilla both in person and online. I plan on making videos and going to local events to promote the comic.
Having a costume made will be rather costly which includes makeup, wig, boots and accessories.
Here are my estimated costs:
$200 outfit
$150 wig
$100 makeup
$200 boots (size 13 5E)
$50 accessories
= $700
I would also love to get a new computer/tablet that I can use to design the first issue.

One night the main character whose alter ego name is Andrew is walking home from the only place for gay people to go to for support, called the traingle connection, and he's beat inches from his life in a hate crime by the main villain Roid Rage.
In his our of need he calls out for help and in the last glimmer of his eye a fairy dragmother appears to save him. Glimmer gives him a gift the ablility to transform into a drag queen superhero if he choses to accept it. Will he go back to living in fear or will he fight for the queer people of Straighlandia and fight for justice. He ultimately choses to embrace the person he was born to be, a drag queen superhero.
