Meanwhile, in Chicago

All,
The Hero Initiative is proud to have helped John Ostrander over the past few years with some financial aid and drumming up some work. Now, Mike Gold and Adriane Nash are putting a mighty shoulder to the wheel as well. They've cooked up Comix4Sight, and are planning a killer auction at the 2009 Chicago Comic Con. Proceeds will go to John to help with medical and travel expenses as he battles glaucoma. And ya know what? If they raise funds above and beyond John's needs, those will kick over to pthe Hero Initiative. That's just the kinda great guys and gals they are.

So visit the auction and bid GENEROUSLY. Just don't bid on that American Flagg! page, huh? That sucker's gonna be mine.
