One of the coolest things about HeavyInk is that our community is growing to the point where it can really make an impact on the titles, publishers, and creators we love. We’ve been able to support indie books like Atomic Robo, Nearly Infamous Zango, and Johnny Hiro in ways that bigger comics retailers can’t always manage.
Now we have the chance to make a tremendous impact on one person’s life: Josh Medors. Josh is a comic book artist recently diagnosed with cancer who is facing a health battle along with the usual medical coverage concerns that independent contractors deal with on an all-too-regular basis.
The good people at BOOM! Studios are releasing a benefit book this fall, Pulp Tales, to help raise funds for Josh and his family. HeavyInk will be donating all our proceeds from sales of the book directly to Josh.
Check out the talent lineup on this book: Steve Niles and Sarah Wilkinson; B. Clay Moore, Seth Peck, and Chris Samnee; Josh Fialkov and Andy B; Kody Chamberlain; Tony Fleecs; and covers by Ben Templesmith and Josh Medors.
THAT is some good comics right there. Plus, your purchase supports a very worthy cause.
We’ll have some interviews coming up to help promote the book and tell you more about the awesome contents. In the meantime, place an order if you can, and read more about the book over at Comic Book Resources.
