Help: The Hero Initiative Anthology

Hannah Means-Shannon

4/5 ( ratings)

With a Cover by Charlie Adlard, the anthology features over 100 creators.

This collection captures how comic creators felt, and continue to
feel, about giving and receiving help within their community via
heartfelt stories that were created during a time of crisis.

The HELP anthology project started shortly after state lockdowns for
Covid-19 began to impact comic shops, and before it became clear just
how widespread the effect would be on the comics industry, from shops,
to publishers, to creative professionals with books on the schedule
that would soon be put on hold or canceled. Though the project was
initially conceived of as a way to help specific comic shops, as time
went on, talking with supportive charities, publishers, and creators
helped inform the anthology and its goals. It became a way for
creators to donate their time and skills in telling their own one-page
stories on the theme of helping others while, ultimately, serving to
raise money for those who might be in desperate need of help during
these times.

We were thrilled to partner with The Hero Initiative to raise money
for comic professionals in need since, even as we see improvements and
more robust publishing schedules, so many have been affected by loss
of work and the impact of that loss will linger. The project also
takes on a broader, universal message by benefiting The Hero
Initiative. It redefines what help might mean over time, and we hope
this project continues to reap the rewards of charitable giving as
proceeds from the sale of this book benefit The Hero Initiative and
support its mission.
