Eisner Week Charity Event
This year, the comic book store Things From Another World (TFAW) will be celebrating Eisner Week with in-store signings and now, a charity event featuring art prints that will be available for purchase featuring some high-caliber talent.
David Mack (Daredevil), Matt Wagner (Green Arrow), Peach Momoko (Marvel variant cover artist), and Yoshi Yoshitani (Star Trek: Boldly Go variant cover artist) have come together to create some beautiful pieces of art that are exclusive for this sale. The profits will help fund comic education for the next generation of creators.
The exclusive prints will be a limited run of 225 and will cost $25 a piece. Each print will be 11"X17", and there are five of them to choose from. After checking them out here, you can pick them up at TFAW if you're interested.
"We wanted Eisner Week to be a special time for his fans, but also a time to give back to the community that we have been a part of these past 40 years," said Mike Richardson, CEO and president of TFAW in a press release. "We're extending Will Eisner Week over the entire month of March and, in partnership with Portland State University, helping to raise money supporting the education of future comic writers and artists."
Eisner Week is a celebration of the comic book medium. Based around the legacy of the father of the graphic novel--Will Eisner--the week promotes comics and graphic novel literacy, along with free speech. Eisner was a writer and an artist who created the legendary character The Spirit. Eisner passed away in 2005, and since his death, the comic book industry honors achievements in comics every year at the Eisner awards, so this icon's name can carry on.
