PR: UNSCREWED! Update First Wave of Auctions SUCCESS! Second waveup and running!

Bulletin:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -

UNSCREWED! Brings in over $1,000 in its first auction!

Unscrewed! The collection of creators, fans, and retailers which banded together at the beginning of the year to take on an immoral and unethical publisher and conventioneer, held its first successful auction this week.

“It is amazing to see the generosity of these people.” Says media representative Danny Donovan “It proves what a strong community the comic world can be. People who didn’t know one another before more came forward with eerily similar tales of woe, caused so many to leap to the call to action.”

Creators including Kurt Busiek, Marv Wolfman, Jamal Igle and Scott Shaw! were just some of a bevy of professionals that donated one of a kind items for the relief fund.

“We’ve done some incredible things since we began our efforts.” Donovan says. “But I don’t think anyone could have anticipated some of the donations we received, or how much the first auction brought in which the conservative estimate is a little over $1,000 at this time.”

The second week of auctions began on Friday and can be found from this link:

The auctions continue a trend of top names offering one-of-a-kind items to benefit those who incurred serious financial hardships from their prior bad dealings.

“If you were impressed by the last batch, you won’t believe what’s in store for the second week of auctions.” Donovan expresses. “Original artwork from Colleen Doran, Jim Taylor and the great Gene Colan, and more! And for 'Peanuts' fans, About Comics has donated Charles Schulz's “It’s Only A Game.” Never-before-reprinted strips from the little-known 1957-1957 sports-themed comic strip by "Sparky" Schulz and Jim Sasseville! This is rare non-Peanuts material from one of the greatest and most popular cartoonist in history!”

The Unscrewed! website located at http://www.unscrewedcomic.com will display the totals of the benefits and up to date information on legal victories. Please visit the site for the most recent information.
