I’m a bit of an e-bay junkie, and every now and then I win something I bid on. A week or so I won an auction to benefit William Messner-Loebs, a formerly prolific comic writer, who due to unfortunate circumstances lost his house this year. I’ve met him at a couple of conventions, and he was always a great guy, added to the fact that he wrote some of my favourite comics in the 80’s (including Flash and The Maxx), I thought, “Hey, not only do I get some cool comics, but I help a dude out.” that’s a win-win situation where I come from.
I won the auction, and now I get to enjoy a year of Comic Books of the month!
Proceeds from this auction will be donated to William and Nadine Messner-Loebs.
