Hey, folks, got a cool charity auction coming up to benefit the Hero Initiative! For those of you that are unfamiliar with this outstanding charity here is their mission statement;

The Hero Initiative creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. Since inception, the Hero Initiative has been fortunate enough to benefit over 40 creators and their families with over $400,000 worth of much-needed aid, fueled by your contributions! It’s a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.

I found out about it from Ms. Renee Whitterstaetter, one of the very nice comic-book professionals that I routinely pester on social networking sites. Here’s what Renee had to say in her latest blog about it;

“On E-Bay right now: the Mid-Ohio-Con charity auction is up and running and our friend James Henry, one of the organizers of the show, has just send me some images and links to the auction, which includes an awesome Batman sketch that Steve Scott did for the convention on their Main Stage.

The auction also features copies of the Texeira’s “Babes & Brawn” sketch book, Golden’s “Heroes & Villains sketchbook,” and the Creator Chronicles DVDs that I co-produced on Joe Jusko and Bill Sienkiewicz, so take a look. You’ll also find some great pieces by some of our friends such as Chris Sprouse, Billy Tucci, Fred Hembeck, Jay Fife, Todd Nauck and many more, representing the awesome line-up at last years show!”
