The sale will feature more than 250 boxes of a large selection of comic book genres. Graphic novels and artwork will also be available. Comic book creators and sketch artists will be in attendance to discuss their work, sign books and sketch your favorite characters. Among those scheduled to attend are Paul Castiglia, an editor and writer at Archie Comics; Tom Hall, a writer of King! and Robot 13; Mark Mariano, creator of Happyloo; Dave Ryan, artist/writer, War of Independents and; Erica Schultz, writer, M3.
Superheroes for Hospice was launched in 2009 by BHHPCC Volunteer Coordinator Spiro Ballas. To date more than $15,000 has been raised. For more information about the sale, or to make a comic book donation, contact Ballas, by e-mail or at 973-322-4866.
I’ll be there doing sketches of your favorite comics characters for anyone who makes a 20 dollar donation to the Hospital and I’ll also be signing copies of any comics or graphic novels I’ve worked on over the years.
