"I think most of the people who follow my work don't necessarily know that I published comics. I am mainly known for my work in animations, so revisiting those books and promoting them again was a good way to spread the word."
"I wasn't expecting much with the crowdfunding campaign, but it so far has raised more than $100,000, when the initial goal was just $7,500. I might be living too much in my bubble. I'm not really aware about the things that would interest people."
Jonathan Djob Nkondo, known for animated work on projects like Scavengers Reign and Gorillaz films, is revisiting his earlier self-published comics depicting alien worlds and future societies. Most followers recognize him primarily for animation rather than his comic work. Nkondo launched a Kickstarter campaign for English translations of two graphic novels: Peaceful Remission and Wandering. The campaign significantly exceeded expectations, raising over $100,000 against an initial goal of $7,500. Nkondo expressed surprise at the campaign's success, noting he underestimated public interest in his earlier work and views the re-release as an opportunity to reach audiences unfamiliar with his comic background.
