Please Join Me In Considering A Donation To Writer John Ostrander

John Ostrander is one of the most interesting mainstream comics writers of the last quarter-century, a Chicago actor who used the Chicago-based publishing company First Comics as a launching point into a long and distinctive career on such works as his co-creation Grimjack, The Spectre and Suicide Squad. Although insured, Ostrander's coverage does not include the full array of prescription benefits and incidental costs needed to treat his ongoing battle with glaucoma. A charity benefit will be held at this August's Wizard-sponsored Chicago convention.

You can go here to read about John and this recent difficulty, including information on that auction and a way you can donate a few bucks to the cause. I know that it's difficult right now to find any money for donations like these, but I also know that comics like a lot of arts industry exists in a way that maintaining an almost reflexive generosity can do an enormous amount of good.
