eBay auction to help my local comic book store

Post by Maka »

Hello Dojo!

Steve posted this on the UYD facebook group. My local comic book store, Metro Comics, is running some eBay auction to raise funds to save their business. I've been going to this store since 1990. Bill Morrison, of Bongo/Simpson comics, help gather some cool cartoonist to donate art for this auction. Check it out and see if you want anything to bid on.

Thanks! I'll be sad if I have to start buying my comics by mail order. :(

Peace, maka

Yes, I bid on this beauty (see link) but did not win. Bob's personal collection is amazing. The "BILL SIENKIEWICZ ORIGINAL ART ELEKTRA ASSASSIN watercolor PAGE" is way out of my price range but is beautiful.

Thanks for looking. Every bit helps.

Dear UYDers,

I just wanted thank you all for helping spread the word about this auction: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_Aucti ... &ViewItem=

Bob told me the auctions are going well and should be able to pay for his medical bills.

He also told Bill Morrison out bid me on the original Geof Darrow's Rusty, Big Guy, Tetsujin 28-Go Gigantor pin-up art. :) All to a good cause. :)

Peace, maka
