Helping Hands

beerbohmauction01

Bob Beerbohm has been a comic book dealer and historian about as long as I've been a historian. A lot of folks in our field are rallying to aid him in a moment of crisis.

His daughter Katy has had to undergo five (5!) brain surgeries since 2010 and the medical bills have mounted up to well over half a million dollars. Bob is a good guy and Katy is a charming, lovely lady and there's an auction via which you might be able to help them and help yourself. The list of goodies being sold includes art by, among others, Neal Adams, Jim Steranko, Kevin Eastman, Mike Kaluta, Patrick Block, Brian Kane, Bill Morrison, Gilbert Shelton, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Walt Simonson, and there are other items you might be proud to have in your collection.

Bidding closes March 10. You can browse the items up for grabs at this site and place a bid. You'll get a treasure and you'll help out a couple of most deserving people.
