My name is Korry Smith and I run All-Star Comics (CSLSID: 2902), a small shop in a small town of about 18,000. Our shop is across the street from an elementary school (Hillcrest Elementary School, Nederland, Texas), and when the teachers there heard that the theme for this year's American Cancer Society's Relay for Life was Super Heroes Save Lives they came to us to ask if there was anything we could do to help them raise money. We decided to hold an auction in March with 100% of the proceeds going to the ACS. Every convention we attend, we're asking artists for donations of original art, sketches, and prints.. it all helps!

So far, we have collected from Jim Balent, Joe Benitez, Tim Bradstreet, Jeffrey Brown, Brandi Carlile, John Cboins, Brian Denham, Nick DiPaolo, Chris Eliopoulos, Max Fiumara, Neil Gaiman, Chris Giarrusso, Holly Golightly, Laurell K. Hamilton, Susan Heidi, Phil Hester, Josh Howard, Adam Kubert, Michael Lark, Jim Mahfood, Jeff Mariotte, Todd Nauck, Patton Oswalt, Humberto Ramos, Kenneth Rocafort, The Shiflett Brothers, Marc Silvestri, Arthur Suydam, Dita Von Teese, Scott Wegener, White Wolf Publishing, Freddie Williams II, and Bernie Wrightson.. plus, we have received pledges from Michael Bair, Rich Bonk, Mitch Breitweiser, Dan Brereton, J. Scott Campbell, Ross Campbell, Cliff Chiang, Mike Collins, Evan Dorkin, Phil & Kaja Foglio, Michael Golden, Sanford Greene, Paul Gulacy, Dave Hartman, Fred Hembeck, Greg Horn, James Jean, Tyler Kirkham, Mike Kunkel, Batton Lash, Todd Lockwood, Joe Pekar, Khoi Pham, Stephen Platt, Mark Poulton, Eric Powell, Rick Remender, Tone Rodriguez, Duncan Rouleau, Tim Seeley, Liam Sharp, Emily Stone, Billy Tan, and Matt Wagner . If you would like to check them out, you can do so here, on Myspace, ComicArtFans, and Yahoo as I get them scanned.

So here's the important part of this email:

Artists & Writers: Would any of you like to make a donation to help raise money for The American Cancer Society? I have in hand & I am more than happy to send you an ACS In-Kind Gift Form for you to declare your donation on your taxes.

Fans: Want to own some kick ass art and other miscellaneous debris all in the name of charity? Simply contact me.
