Comic book writer and novelist Van Jensen is currently running a campaign, on our favorite platform Zoop, to produce a hardcover tribute album to Golden Age cult character Stardust.
I'm more than a little dubious at projects centered around new creators reviving old characters, but Van Jensen has really assembled a lineup that goes all in on this (and, I say this with all due respect) batshit crazy character. The campaign ends in two weeks, so take a look and see if you're as impressed as I am by Van Jensen and his bugfuck cohorts.

There's bits and pieces of this craziness floating around twitter and beyond. Here's some links to some previews:

The most interesting contributor to this anthology is Ian Hanks, grandson of Stardust creator Fletcher Hanks. Ian is a fine artist and contributes his own Stardust story. Van Jensen is quoted about Ian's contribution: "Ian has crafted a deeply thoughtful and also challenging story that both honors his grandfather and reflects on his failures as a parent and human."
