Help The Hero Initiative, Bid On This Auction

Posted on by

Last Summer at San Diego Comic-Con 2013 comiXology threw a great event bringing together some of the comic industry’s greatest talents to create The Blank Page Project – a massive art jam board drawn and signed by some of comics’ best and brightest to benefit the Hero Initiative. There were some amazing creators that took part like, Walt Simonson, Dave Gibbons, Jerry Ordway, Amanda Conner and many more who contributed their efforts to filling a massive jam board with great art and signatures.

Now, The Blank Page Project is being auctioned off at Heritage Auction with proceeds going towards The Hero Initiative. Here’s the link to bid http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7093&lotNo=92079 and help support a fantastic charity.

Listen to the Archive Episode of Graphic Policy Radio: SDCC 2013 Edition Take Two

Posted on by

If you missed this week’s live episode of Graphic Policy Radio, you missed Brett winging it as unfortunately his co-host was sick. But, that didn’t slow him down, as he grabbed someone from the peanut gallery to join in the conversation and chat about this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. That’s right, the show still went on as planned with lots of discussion about the biggest convention in the US of the year.

Topics included:

  • ComiXology‘s Blank Page Project was a hit, but wouldn’t it be better if there was no need for the Hero Initiative?
  • The San Diego Police attempted to do some public relations and did so by having photo ops faking arrests. The white folks were sure amused!
  • Sexism at the convention and in geekdom in general

So catch that and more on this week’s archived episode of Graphic Policy Radio.

ComiXology’s Meet Your Makers summer extravaganza continues with “The Blank Page Project” charity event. The Hero Initiative has partnered with comiXology and creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner to host this fully catered 2-hour charity event where all fans are invited to watch creators fill “The Blank Page” – a 12 foot by 8 foot gigantic comic page that will auctioned off at a later date with proceeds going towards The Hero Initiative – a charity that helps creators in need.

“The Blank Page Project” charity event is open to all fans and creators. The event will take place on Thursday, July 18th from 5pm to 7pm during San Diego Comic-Con 2013 outside the Vela restaurant, which is located at the back of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, a quick walk from the San Diego Convention Center.

The Hero Initiative is committed to helping creators in need and has done so for the past thirteen years. This event and auction will undoubtedly help the organization raise more money for the good work The Hero Initiative does.

“The Blank Page Project” and comiXology’s partnership with The Hero Initiative to raise money for comic creators in need is just one part of comiXology’s summer long Meet Your Makers event celebrating comic creators and the creation of comics.
