#About

Emmy and Eisner’s Humanitarian Award winning graphic novelist Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez, author and creator of La Borinqueña, offers a commemorative special edition of La Borinqueña #1 (2016) with 10 original variant covers. Artists from all over the world are donating original art to celebrate La Borinqueña’s 10th anniversary. La Borinqueña #1 is part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum, New York Public Library, and is taught from primary to graduate schools all over the world. Now you can pledge your support to ensure that this anniversary celebraton is a success by bringing home the entire set of 10 original covers. Ariel Jesús Colón, Manuel Preitano, Juan Paolo Cagampan, Kei Zama and Chris Sotomayor are the first group of artists that are being revealed for the launch of this commemorative campaign.

Throughout the run of this fundraiser, more cover art will be revealed from artists like Humberto Ramos, Edgar Delgado, KyuYoung Eom, Elena Casagrande, Dave Wilkins, and many more! 

La Borinqueña is the only superhero series dedicated to charity work. Already via their La Borinqueña Grant Awards they’ve given over $250,000 to non-profits throughout Puerto Rico. A portion of the money raised from this campaign will also go towards their commitment to philanthropy.

#Bio

Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez continues to be recognized widely for his work on NBC, CNN, The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR and numerous other media outlets for having already produced in addition to his own series La Borinqueña, graphic novels with Darryl DMC McDaniels (from RUN DMC), Emmy and Tony award winning writer John Leguizamo, and Grammy award winning artist Rubén Blades. He has also written for Marvel Comics critically acclaimed anthology, Guardians of the Galaxy: Tales of the Cosmos.

As part of his national tour, he continues to speak on such topics as diversity in comic books and current socio-political issues related to Puerto Rico. The Smithsonian, The American Museum of Natural History, Gates Foundation, Kellogg Foundation, PEN/Faulkner Foundation, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Princeton University, Colgate University, Contemporary Art Center of New Orleans, New York Comic Con, Rhode Island School of Design, Viacom, Hasbro and many other institutions, libraries and events invite him to deliver keynote presentations and talks to audiences that range from elementary school children to graduate students.

#Timeline

The final covers for the comics should be finished and revealed during the campaign, so the comics should be ready to go to the printer a month after the campaign is over. Printing and shipping should take another 3 months after that, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done around November or December 2026.

Zoop will always be here to communicate with supporters should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.

Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS

Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.

You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.

 

Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.

Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.

If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.

Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.

Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.

No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it!  And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
