My approach has been to try the creative commons way. I am slowly building up some readers (I have some people who know the complex story just as well as I do) but I am not sure I will be able to find the 80-100 people that will have to pay 30$ + mail for the hardcover version I would like to make. I know I should be starting asking around, but right now I am working on the second album and people have been tipping me in Bitcoins so i actually are not in a hurry yet... But I am going to do something like you soon. My two translators (@vcelier and @shortcut) have been talking about making it an exclusive Steem fundraiser and that could be the way I am going.
