| Raising Funds for National MS Society |
|
| David Mack announced that original artwork and signed comics have been donated to help raise funds during the National MS Society's art auction. Below is more information if you would like to participate in the event: |

Dear Friends,
Each year the National Multiple Sclerosis Society holds the MS 150 Breakaway to the Beach Bike Tour in South Carolina. Funds raised from this event go to directly benefit those living in the area with multiple sclerosis as well as their families. It's the support of local communities that help fund research and programs for those living with MS in the Carolinas.
I participated in the bike tour last year but this year will have special meaning for me. I have become part of the Champions Against MS program which pairs up cyclists with people with MS. I have dedicated this year's ride to Carolee Merkle who has been a special friend of Heroes Aren't Hard to Find for more than three years.
Each year I and thousands of other riders not only ride 150 miles in two days but we work hard in the months leading up to the bike tour to raise money for those with MS. This year I have decided to take my fundraising to the next level by holding my first art auction to benefit the National MS Society and I would like you to be a part of it.
My plan is to collect works of art between July and September to auction on Ebay. All proceeds will go directly to the National MS Society. Please help me surpass my fundraising goals and join the fight to end the devastating effects of MS.
If you are interested in participating please contact me at (704) 375-7462 or by email at Shelton@heroesonline.com. If you would like more information about the National MS Society please contact Carolee Merkle at (704) 525-2955 ext. 113 or by email at carolee.merkle@ncp.nmss.org.
Sincerely,
Shelton Drum |
| Swampmen Retrospective Book Cancelled? |
|
| From Lying in the Gutters rumor column: |
|
I understand Twomorrows will be cancelling their solicited volume "Swampmen: Muck-Monsters Of The Comics" which would have explored the histories of the likes of Man Thing, The Heap, Solomon Grundy and more - including an in-depth interview with Alan Moore about Swamp Thing.
Apparently one of the authors has failed to submit the finished text after multiple deadlines.
The book is still available to order on their website ... for now. |
