SPIRIT OF HOPE

Jimmy Broxton's Cover

Last month I posted very briefly about The Comic Book Alliance' "The Spirit of Hope" project I have taken part in. A grand project put together in record time I guess considering number of artists and writers and the fact it should be rolling out at the printers sometime next week. (Only having 2 pages for me to do helped their timetable no end i'm sure)

In The CBA's own words

"The Spirit of Hope is a unique anthology of short stories from the world’s greatest creators dealing with the impact of disasters on people’s everyday lives. Creators include Liam Sharp, Henry Flint, Nick Abadzis, Glenn Dakin, Mark Buckingham, Al Davison and Peter Hogan with stories covering all aspects of human life in the face of catastrophe. The collection comes in two editions – one with a beautiful Jimmy Broxton cover and a second with a cool Michael Allred cover. All profit from the title will go to help disaster victims via Second Harvest and the New Zealand Red Cross."
