Support Comic Creators
Three simple ways to support the people and places that keep comics and original comic art thriving.

Support the Artists
One of the most direct ways to support comic artists is to support their work personally. Buy original art when it is available, follow their current projects, or commission a new piece directly from an artist who accepts commissions.
A commission is more than a unique piece for a collection: it is a direct connection between collector and artist, and a practical way to support the people behind the art.
If you are interested in commissioning one of the artists featured here, you are also welcome to get in touch with me. I may be able to help establish contact with the artist.
The Hero Initiative
What is the Hero Initiative?
The Hero Initiative creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It gives the comics community a direct way to give something back to the creators whose work has brought so much enjoyment.

Support Comic Stores
Local comic shops are an important part of comic culture. They introduce readers to new books and creators, provide a place for collectors to meet, and help keep the comics community visible and active.
