“The Blank Page Project” charity event is open to all fans and creators. The event will take place on Thursday, July 18th from 5pm to 7pm during Comic-Con International ’13 outside the Vela restaurant, which is located at the back of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, a quick walk from the San Diego Convention Center.
“We all know that without creators all we would have is a blank page and comiXology is proud to co-host this charity event with the Hero Initiative, Jimmy and Amanda” said comiXology co-founder and CEO David Steinberger. “This is a great opportunity for comiXology fans to ‘meet their makers’ – and for us to have an opportunity to showcase the great work of creators at a relaxed event that’s all for a good cause – The Hero Initiative.”
“The Hero Initiative has been committed to helping creators in need for the past thirteen years. We’re excited to partner with comiXology for ‘The Blank Page Project’ to bring creators and fans together to help creators in need,” said Jim McLauchlin, president of The Hero Initiative. “Auctioning off a 12-by-8 foot gigantic comic book page that has art and signatures from top comic creators across the industry will undoubtedly help us raise more money for the good work The Hero Initiative does.”
“We’re excited to host ‘The Blank Page Project’ charity event put on by comiXology and The Hero Initiative, “ said noted creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner. “We can’t wait to meet all the fans while we are having fun filling up this gigantic canvas that we’ll be auctioning off to help creators.”
“The Blank Page Project” and comiXology’s partnership with The Hero Initiative to raise money for comic creators in need is just one part of comiXology’s summer long Meet Your Makers event celebrating comic creators and the creation of comics.
As part of their commitment to creators, this past March comiXology debuted comiXology Submit, an easy to use self-publishing portal that enables independent comic book creators to reach comiXology’s global audience of comic fans.
