Hi there! Welcome to the first ever Stereoscope Comics Crowdfunding Campaign!
Let’s do this! :D
The project…BLACK LABEL, Vol. 1! The first trade paperback of the BDSM Romantic Comedy webcomic! Never heard of BLACK LABEL? Well, you’re not alone, and you’ve been missing out! Here’s the scoop…
Ellie has a secret...a desire she has always kept to herself.
Megan also has a secret...she's a dominatrix!
A chance meeting will lead them both down a sensual and often ridiculous path as their Dom/Sub relationship begins to blossom. But just how far is each of them prepared to go?
Sometimes shocking and always fun, BLACK LABEL Vol. 1 collects the first six chapters of the hilarious adults only webcomic, plus the original mini comics that started it all!
BIO
Stereoscope Comics (who sometimes goes by Tim) is a freelance artist, writer and illustrator who loves nothing more than creating comics!
He started his first webcomic TECHGAL way back in 2008, which won the Sac Anime Con Comic Creator award two years in a row. Since then he’s worked on other original comics, including SELECT and GREY LITERATURE. BLACK LABEL, which began in 2017, is his first outing into more mature content and the response so far has been amazing!
When Tim isn’t writing, drawing or creating comics, he can be found practicing card tricks and playing D&D and Call of Cthulhu.
STRETCH GOALS
The campaign is doing SO AMAZINGLY WELL that we put together some stretch goals for y'all to work towards!
FANCY PHOTOS OF THE BOOK & MERCH!
BEHOLD!
If you're supporting the "Let's Get Physical!" or "Master Edition" rewards and want to get your copy of the book signed, make sure to add the "Signed Book" option for an additional $5!
BLACK BOX EDITION BOUDOIR
Look at this sexy box.
Some merch isn't in the photos, so you'll get a bit of a surprise when you open it up.
Only 100 available so get it while you can!
BUDGET
We've done a lot of math (and redone a lot of math) to give you a representation of where all the money earned from this campaign is going!
SHIPPING
To account for the increased costs of shipping, we have dedicated a portion of the budget towards shipping to help cut the costs for backers.
USA backers are able to get free shipping due to the very low cost of shipping between the states (prices fluctuate between $3-$15 depending on the package size and shipping type)
Unfortunately, international shipping prices are well over $30 at the time this section has been added, so we’re asking international backers to contribute $20 to help offset the cost of shipping books outside of the USA.
INTERNATIONAL TAXES & FEES
INTERNATIONAL SUPPORTERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CUSTOMS FEES AND IMPORTING TAXES THAT THEIR COUNTRY MAY IMPOSE ON REWARDS BEING SHIPPED TO THEM.
We've looked into many options to try and make backing simpler for international supporters. Sadly, due to every country having different import and custom procedures, we respectfully ask that supporters plan future import and tax fees that may be incurred when packages arrive in their country. You will typically receive a notification from your local post office letting you know you have a package for pick up that requires fees to be paid before they release it into your custody. Each country has different processes, so please be vigilant and check your local customs policies.
RISKS
All the artwork and files are done and ready to be printed— all we need is the funds to make it happen (because printing is expensive)!
We are using a domestic book printing service here in the USA. So while the risk of delays in shipping from a different country are not a problem, things can still happen that might be out of our control during fulfillment. This is not to say that the companies we're getting merch from -WILL-have issues, just that it is a possibility in today's environment, we're hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
Supporters will be kept up to date throughout the whole process,
and if any issues do arise, you will be the first ones to know
what’s going on, and what is being done to fix it. Let's fund this book!
Perks
Pay it forward by donating a copy to a fan that wants one but can't afford it. Make their fantasy of owning a copy of BLACK LABEL Vol. 1 a reality!
How it works:
You're essentially buying a copy of the comic for someone else. When we get notice that someone wants a copy of the book, but cant afford it, we'll offer up one of the donated books at no charge to the recipient— because some kind soul already paid for it!
As a bonus, anyone who donates a copy will get a cute secret gift for being so awesome ♥
If you're a supporter of the "Let's get physical!" or "Master Edition" level, adding this perk to your reward will get your physical copy of Black Label signed by the series creator, Tim (Stereoscope Comics)!

Highlights
See all activity735Changes to pledge
If you still have your pledge notification email, there is a section at the bottom of it that asks if you'd like to contact the project manager of the campaign. Click that, and it brings you to the Crowdfundr message center where you can message us here.
Since Crowdfundr seems to not have an option (that we've been able to find) for contacting the campaign manager, we'll use this custom tab feature we found instead.
If you have any questions regarding your pledge, if you want to delete a pledge, etc., please send an email to ArtByMelissaM@gmail.com so Mel can help you resolve pledge and campaign issues (to the best of her ability)
And if anyone has any screencaps of the supposed "contact button at the top of the campaign", please let us know. 'cause we can't seem to find it.
