A Campaign Fueled by Action and Purpose
In late 2023, THE LAST SPARTAN: RED TAPE launched on Kickstarter with one mission: bring a raw, action-packed graphic novel to life — and shine a light on the hidden horrors of human trafficking.
Created by actor and producer Tyler Mane (X-MEN, HALLOWEEN) alongside acclaimed writer Christopher Priest (BLACK PANTHER, BATMAN), producer Renae Geerlings, and author John F. Saunders, the campaign struck a chord with fans of gritty storytelling and real-world heroism.
Running through the final months of 2023, the campaign was a resounding success — surpassing its funding goal and raising over $50,000 from nearly 400 backers worldwide.
A Community Fighting for a Cause
More than just a campaign, the Kickstarter for THE LAST SPARTAN: RED TAPE became a movement supporting DeliverFund’s mission to end human trafficking. The creators pledged part of the campaign’s proceeds to raise awareness and fund efforts in the fight against this global crisis.
By backing the project, supporters weren’t just buying a graphic novel — they became part of a cause bigger than fiction: the battle for justice, freedom, and hope.
