Archie Comics announces Hero Initiative benefit book, auction
George Perez, John Romita and others join with Archie Comics and the Hero Initiative for a new fundraising effort: “Archie Covers: Fifty Times an American Icon.”
An auction featuring 50 new Archie covers by 50 great artists will benefit Hero Initiative, with plans for a book including the covers to come.
The Hero Initiative is the charity dedicated to helping comic creators in medical or financial need.
Archie Comics has printed 50 blank-covered copies of the landmark issue “Archie” #600, and Hero will have 50 stellar artists do original Archie covers on the special edition books.
The originals will be auctioned off at a later date to benefit the Hero Initiative, and a book will be published, collecting all 50 covers.
Artists including Neal Adams, Darwyn Cooke, Sam Kieth, Jerry Ordway, George Pérez, John Romita and Tim Sale are slated to contribute.
