The noted comic book illustrator Steve Rude continues to offer up a variety of pieces on eBay and through his site store in an attempt to raise money in advance of a foreclosure auction on his family's home. It looks like yesterday was a pretty good day -- Erik Larsen apparently bought a bunch of pages, an entire issue of those being sold, and other orders came in as well. Here's a facebook page and a twitter feed for more direct updates. Steve Rude's comic book originals tend to be extremely attractive, well worth the consideration of a fan, and I've also frequently enjoyed items from the range of ancillary products he's offering.
