More Relief in Sight
Comics projects seeking to raise funds for the Hurricane Katrina relief effort continue to pop up, with Newsarama having the best ongoing list of projects. Among the new efforts are:
- Narwain Publishing plans a benefit book called "New Orleans and Jazz," due to come out in December with all proceeds going to relief orgs.
- Blank Label Comics is hosting a webcomic "telethon" all this week. Items include PvP strips featuring art by Scott Kurtz and Frank Cho. The event's site states it has nearlly $24,000 in pledges.
- eigoManga's making several of its publications available to fans who make donations for relief that will go to the Red Cross.
- Artist Mike Hawthorne of Queen & Country and Marvel's Machine Teen fame is auctioning off an original drawing of the auction winner as a superhero on Ebay.
Again, if you know of any comics-related relief efforts that have yet to be mentioned on this blog, send me the details in an email and they'll go up as soon as possible.
PW NEWSLETTER: Publisher's Weekly is launching a free weekly e-newsletter covering comics, manga and graphic novels. This looks like a must-read for anyone interested in the business of comics. And for the record, PW is owned by Reed Business Information, the same company that runs Variety.
COLLECTORS, ON YOUR MARKS: ICV2.com says some very limited retailer variant comics will be given out to those attending the Diamond/Alliance Retailer Summits this year in Baltimore, Md., and Fort Wayne, Ind. DC will provide a penciled cover version of All-Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder #1; IDW offers a gold edition of Transformers #0. Baltimore attendees only also will receive a Joe Madureira variant cover edition of House of M #1 from Marvel, and limited editions from Image Comics of Fell #1 and Fear Agent #1. Previous retailer editions have commanded hefty prices on the back issue market because of their extreme rarity.
DOUBLE THE 'SIN': Details have finally come out on the "Sin City: Recut & Extended" two-disc DVD set due Dec. 13. The set will feature both the theatrical cut and the extended cut, which features 23 mins. of additional footage. There's also tons of extras, including a complete copy of Frank Miller's original "Sin City" graphic novel, now known as "The Hard Goodbye."
