Lea Hernandez suffers house fire, needs help.


This is a repost of a post I did at Websnark, and it copies some information that Gail Simone's sent out and about. In addition to the address given below, several sites (including Websnark) have paypal buttons or links up to help out.

Lea Hernandez, author and artist of the epic and wonderful Rumble Girls books, a former Transmetropolitan artist, as well as the former editor of Girlamatic, has suffered a terrible house fire. Her family is safe, though they lost some of their pets (two dogs and four cats). They have also lost an incredible number of the necessities of life and of Lea's business. They have lost most of their clothes. They have lost shelter. They have lost almost all of their media collection. They do not yet know how much of Lea's original art is gone.

Who DOESN'T want to be a superhero?


I love the awesomely cheesy Sci Fi Channel "reality" series WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO? (on DVD Sept. 21st) starring Stan "The Man" Lee, and I've noticed that others in the wonderful world of webcomics do as well, so hopefully it won't hurt to post this update. Contest winner Feedback is a "friend" of mine on MySpace, and I was able to glean these exciting details from his bulletin thingy...
