More Fund Comics Raises Over $17,000 in 2003!

More Fund Comics, the benefit book published by Sky Dog Comics with the Baltimore Comicon has raised over $17,000 for the CBLDF so far this year. John Gallagher, editor and publisher of the book says, “I just put a check in the mail for $10,000 representing the money raised after costs on the initial orders of More Fund. It’s very gratifying to have worked with so many great artists to make this dream project become a difference-making reality for the CBLDF.”

In addition to the $10,000 raised by the book, More Fund artists also contributed much of their original art, including cover artists George Perez and Frank Cho. Most of that art was sold on auction at Baltimore Comicon last September where it raised $5,000 for the CBLDF. Last week on eBay the Frank Cho variant cover was sold on auction as part of the Comicon.com Holiday Benefit Auction for the Fund and it raised over $2,000. Between the book and auction proceeds More Fund has raised over $17,000 to date!

“This was a fantastic fundraiser,” enthuses Fund Director Charles Brownstein. “Everyone involved went above and beyond the call to produce one of the best anthologies anywhere and to do it for a cause that urgently needs everyone’s support. More Fund will help us build our war chest so we can fight whatever battles the coming election year dishes out.”
