Two graphic novel kickstarters, one came out great, the other was a $350 lesson

Back in March I backed two Kickstarters for indie graphic novels. First one was a 150 page horror comic from a creator I'd followed for a while. Shipping was delayed 4 months but the book showed up last week and it's honestly one of the best things I own. Great print quality, extras, the works. Second one was a big hype project, bunch of big names attached, $350 all in for the deluxe slipcase edition. Got an update in June saying it was on track. Then nothing for 5 months. Just found out the creator ran off with the money, page art was never even finished. No refunds, no book. Kinda makes me wonder if backing big name collabs is ever worth it when solo creators can actually deliver. Has anyone else gotten burned on a project and did you ever get your money back?
