Disclosure: Jordan Williams-Crenshaw is the founder and editor of Philly Rhino and the creator of TempMan. This article covers his own project.
A Northeast Philadelphia comic creator has launched a Kickstarter campaign for TempMan, an original superhero comic series about a 17 year old from Philly who can become a superhero, but only for minutes at a time.
TempMan follows Elias Vale, 17, from Philadelphia. When he transforms, he becomes one of the most powerful beings on the planet, but the power runs on a ticking clock. Issue 1 is 30 pages about power and who gets to wield it, in a world where governments and corporations treat people with powers as weapons and assets.
The series is written by Jordan Williams-Crenshaw, founder of the Philadelphia independent studio Little Kiddo, with art by Siraj Anwer. Every page is drawn by a human artist, with no AI art, and the comic will always be free to read online.
The Kickstarter campaign aims to raise $4,500 to fund the Issue 1 art. Backing starts at $1, with tiers up to $300, including a signed print copy at $50. The campaign is all or nothing and runs through December 4. The campaign page was recently updated with new cover art and a new logo.
