2010-2011 The Justice League of America 100 Project charity art by Alan Davis

Click To Expand & Enlarge


Alan Davis is one of those rare artists who draws everybody beautifully and on model. He's one of those guys who can pretty much do no wrong, and yet never exploded in popularity or landed on much merchandising. So strange. Anyhow, here's far too little of the Martian Manhunter joining Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Hawkgirl and Green Lantern ringing a seat for the Atom.

In late 2000, a consortium of comic publishers came up with the idea to create a financial safety net for comic creators, much in the same fashion that exists in almost any other trade from plumbing to pottery. By March of 2001, the federal government approved The Hero Initiative as a publicly supported not-for-profit corporation under section 501 (c) (3).

Since its inception, The Hero Initiative (Formerly known as A.C.T.O.R., A Commitment To Our Roots) has had the good fortune to grant over $400,000 to the comic book veterans who have paved the way for those in the industry today.

The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays' creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.

I enjoyed this as well. Also, here is a link for you, Frank, to the CBR preview of Stormwatch 10. It looks like J'Onn has kept some secrets from Stormwatch, particularly about the secret identities of the Justice League -- http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=12611

Thanks for the heads-up, Will. I don't visit CBR anymore, and my slow moving mail order service hasn't even gotten me my copy of #9 yet...

I have to pick my copy up at a local shop this week.

Well, I hope that there are plans to put J'Onn to good use in the DCnU. By September, he will have bested two premier teams by himself.
