Elite Comics Helps our Heroes, so should you!

Elite Comics is very proud to announce we have made a donation to Hero Initiative of $1194!  The money was raised at this years Planet Comicon ( Thank you Chris!) from the Game with Will Wheaton fund raiser run by Elite Comics Flight Crew Member Jon “Jonny Cakes”  Hook!  Jon  ran the game room all weekend and  sold the tickets for the game with Wil.

Hero Initiative is a fantastic group that raises money to help out the Silver and Golden Age comic creators who gave us all the incredible heroes and villains we enjoy reading about today.  These artists and writers created the universes of super hero adventures in an era before residuals and creator rights.  Hero Initiative helps them out with medical bills, rent, anything really, as a way of saying thank you for the amazing work they did to basically invent the comic book industry.

Thank you to every one who participated in the fund raiser.  Make sure to check out their website http://www.heroinitiative.org and donate some money to the heroes of our past!

By the way we still have a couple of the Space Cadets games signed by Mr. Wheaton for sale at the shop with all proceeds going to Hero Initiative ,come by and get one!

The Runaway Sun

Here is the link to contribute to the making of the awesome sci-fi short film The Runaway Sun which Elite Comics is Executive producing.  This is the kind of project indiegogo was invented to get off the ground.  Dave and Jenny are a couple of extremely talented young film makers who are trying to do cool things in the cut throat world of movie making.  Take a look at the project, take a look at the incredible array of artists and creative power they have brought together with a single goal–make a really cool movie.  Then pick one of the support packages and let them know you are behind this kind of creative work being done here in Kansas City with Kansas City talent.  Every level of support gets you tons of cool items from prints to t-shirts, DVD’s to cookies.  Do what you can.  Get involved.  Let’s go make a movie!   www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-runaway-sun.
