LOS ANGELES, CA (May 3, 2017) -- Hero Initiative, the charity that helps comic book creators in medical and financial need, is showing off Wonder Woman in all her glory!
DC Entertainment created a precious few blank-covered editions of the
Wonder Woman 75th Anniversary Special and the Hero Initiative got 100+ top artists to do original drawings right on the cover. The result is
The Wonder Woman 100 Project! An online gallery of all 111 covers is now up for all to view at
Hero Initiative’s website.
And Hero Initiative will auction off at three exciting live events:
• May 20 at
The Comic Bug, Manhattan Beach, CA
• May 27 at the
Phoenix Comicon, Phoenix, AZ
• June 10 at
Bedrock City Comics, Houston, TX
One-third of all covers will be auctioned at each venue, and full details on times, locations, and how to bid are found on Hero’s gallery page.
In addition, a
Wonder Woman 100 Project softcover book collecting the covers will be available in June (Diamond Order Code APR170441). A limited edition hardcover will be available direct from Hero Initiative at the same time.
“We’re thrilled to partner again with Hero Initiative to celebrate Wonder Woman and support such a worthwhile cause,” stated DC Entertainment Publisher Dan DiDio. “The original covers are impressive and sure to be a hit with Wonder Woman fans and collectors.”
